I have recently started working with Cassandra. We have cassandra cluster
which is using DSE 4.0 version and has VNODES enabled. We have a tables
like this -
Below is my first table -
CREATE TABLE customers (
customer_id int PRIMARY KEY,
last_modified_date timeuuid,
customer_value text
)
Read query pattern is like this on above table as of now since we need to
get everything from above table and load it into our application memory
every x minutes.
select customer_id, customer_value from datakeyspace.customers;
We have second table like this -
CREATE TABLE client_data (
client_name text PRIMARY KEY,
client_id text,
creation_date timestamp,
is_valid int,
last_modified_date timestamp
)
Right now in the above table, we have 500 records and all those records has
"is_valid" column value set as 1. And the read query pattern is like this
on above table as of now since we need to get everything from above table
and load it into our application memory every x minutes so the below query
will return me all 500 records since everything has is_valid set to 1.
select client_name, client_id from datakeyspace.client_data where
is_valid=1;
Since our cluster is VNODES enabled so my above query pattern is not
efficient at all and it is taking lot of time to get the data from
Cassandra. We are reading from these table with consistency level QUORUM.
Is there any possibility of improving our data model?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
