Hi Sridhar, thanks for your answer. I didn't set the cache to any specific value, I use the defaults: [default@Foo] show keyspaces; Keyspace: Foo: Replication Strategy: org.apache.cassandra.locator.SimpleStrategy Replication Factor: 1 Column Families: ColumnFamily: Url Columns sorted by: org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.UTF8Type Row cache size / save period: 0.0/0 Key cache size / save period: 200000.0/3600 Memtable thresholds: 4.6640625/995/60 GC grace seconds: 864000 Compaction min/max thresholds: 4/32 Read repair chance: 1.0 Built indexes: [] My row-key is 16bytes long string, so I don't expect the cache would be a problem.
