Hi Jens, I suspected that write_request_timeout_in_ms was involved, so I have already raised that to 12 on all nodes in the cluster, and to 13 on the client. This is much longer that any of our writes takes. I looked at the hints files that where being written, and they where all 42 bytes

Hi again Bo, I assume this is the piece of documentation you are referring to? http://docs.datastax.com/en/cassandra/2.0/cassandra/dml/dml_about_hh_c.html?scroll=concept_ds_ifg_jqx_zj__performance > If a replica node is overloaded or unavailable, and the failure detector has not yet marked it dow

Hi Jens, Thank you for the tip! ALL would definitely cure our hints issue, but as you note, it is not optimal as we are unable to take down nodes without clients failing. I am most probably overlooking something in the documentation, but I cannot see any description of when hints are written othe

Also, 3.0.3 is a very new Cassandra version. IMHO, you might want to consider not using bleeding edge in production. See https://www.eventbrite.com/engineering/what-version-of-cassandra-should-i-run/ and http://stackoverflow.com/q/25155916. Cheers, Jens On Wed, Apr 20, 2016 at 3:39 PM Bo Finneru

Hi Bo, > In our case, I would like for the cluster to wait for the write to be persisted on the relevant nodes before returning an ok to the client. But I don't know which knobs to turn to accomplish this? or if it is even possible :) This is what write consistency option is for. Have a look at h

When are hints written?

Hi, We have a small 5 node cluster of m4.xlarge clients that receives writes from ~20 clients. The clients will write as fast as they can, and the whole process is limited by the write performance of the cassandra cluster. After we have tweaked our schema to avoid large partitions, the load is goi
