Hi, I have an index I use to translate ids. I usually only read a column at a time, and it's becoming a bottleneck. I could rewrite the application to read a bunch at a time but it would make the application logic much harder, as it would involve buffering incoming data.
As far as I know, to read a single column cassandra will deserialize a bunch of them and then pick the correct one (64KB of data right?) Would it be faster to have a row for each id I want to translate? This would make keycache less effective, but the amount of data read should be smaller. Thanks!
