The stress tool will work against any version of Cassandra, it's only released alongside for ease of deployment. You can safely use the tool from pre-release versions. On Tue, Aug 19, 2014 at 11:03 PM, Clint Kelly wrote: > Thanks for the update, Benedict. We are still using 2.0.9 > unfortunate

Thanks for the update, Benedict. We are still using 2.0.9 unfortunately. :/ I will keep that in mind for when we upgrade. On Tue, Aug 19, 2014 at 10:51 AM, Benedict Elliott Smith wrote: > The stress tool in 2.1 also now supports clustering columns: > http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/improved-

Are you interested in cassandra-stress in particular? Or in any tool which will allow you to stress test your schema? I believe Apache Jmeter + CQL plugin may be useful in the latter case. https://github.com/Mishail/CqlJmeter -M On 8/17/14 12:26, Clint Kelly wrote: Hi all, Is there a way to

FWIW I tried just removing indices from my table and rerunning my write load test and I got about 2x the performance. I'm still interested, however, in seeing whether I can replicate my table layout in cassandra-stress, just so that I can normalize my results. Should the presence of clustering co

Hi all, Is there a way to use the cassandra-stress tool with clustering columns? I am trying to figure out whether an application that I'm running on is slow because of my application logic, C* data model, or underlying C* setup (e.g., I need more nodes or to tune some parameters). My applicatio
