Hi A little while ago I tried cassandra's read n write operations and timed it.
I am using Pandra for communication with cassandra. System is CentOS 5 with 2 GB RAM and dual core. I inserted 100000 rows in around 30 secs and read the same in 25 seconds. If anyone of you have run similar tests can you please share or tell whether this can be improved or not. I am using default configuration of cassandra and its a single node setup. Thanks Vineet Daniel
