Thanks, Edward. What do you suppose a reasonable value for index_interval might be? If I'm anyways setting keys_cached to 1.0, what would the implications be of setting index_interval very high (perhaps 1000, 10000 or even higher--my data set involves a large number of smallish rows)? I imagine the first read for a given key would have higher latency, but subsequent reads would be unaffected (since they would use the key cache), no?
Also, I see in 1.0.9 there's a fix for a potentially related issue (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4023). Any thoughts on this?
