Hi,
I'm currently testing Cassandra 2.0.9 (and since the last week 2.1) under some read heavy load... I have 2 cassandra nodes (RF : 2) running under CentOS 6 with 16GB of RAM and 8 Cores. I have around 93GB of data per node (one Disk of 300GB with SAS interface and a Rotational Speed of 10500) I have 300 active client threads and they request the C* nodes with a Consitency level set to ONE (I'm using the CQL datastax driver). During my tests I saw a lot of CPU consumption (70% user / 6%sys / 4% iowait / 20%idle). C* nodes respond to around 5000 op/s (sometime up to 6000op/s) I try to profile a node and at the first look, 60% of the CPU is passed in the "sun.nio.ch" package. (SelectorImpl.select or Channel.read) I know that Benchmark results are highly dependent of the Dataset and use cases, but according to my point of view this CPU consumption is normal according to the load. Someone can confirm that point ? According to my Hardware configuration, can I expect to have more than 6000 read op/s ?
