Well, first off you shouldn't run stress tool on the node your testing. Give it its own box.
With RF=N=2 your essentially testing a single machine locally which isnt the best indicator long term (optimizations available when reading data thats local to the node). 80k/sec on a system is pretty good though, your probably seeing slower on the 2nd query since its returning 10x the data and there will be more to go through within the partition. 42k/sec is still acceptable imho since these are smaller boxes. You are probably seeing high CPU because the system is doing a lot :) If you want to get more out of these systems can do some tuning probably, enable trace to see whats actually the bottleneck. Collections will very likely hurt more then help. --- Chris Lohfink On Sep 23, 2014, at 9:39 AM, Leleu Eric <eric.le...@worldline.com> wrote: > I tried to run “cassandra-stress” on some of my table as proposed by Jake > Luciani. > > For a simple table, this tool is able to perform 80000 read op/s with a few > CPU consumption if I request the table by the PK(name, tenanted) > > Ex : > TABLE : > > CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS buckets (tenantid varchar, > name varchar, > owner varchar, > location varchar, > description varchar, > codeQuota varchar, > creationDate timestamp, > updateDate timestamp, > PRIMARY KEY (name, tenantid)); > > QUERY : select * from buckets where name = ? and tenantid = ? limit 1; > > TOP output for 900 threads on cassandra-stress : > top - 13:17:09 up 173 days, 21:54, 4 users, load average: 11.88, 4.30, 2.76 > Tasks: 272 total, 1 running, 270 sleeping, 0 stopped, 1 zombie > Cpu(s): 71.4%us, 14.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 13.1%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 1.5%si, 0.0%st > Mem: 98894704k total, 96367436k used, 2527268k free, 15440k buffers > Swap: 0k total, 0k used, 0k free, 88194556k cached > > PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND > 25857 root 20 0 29.7g 1.5g 12m S 693.0 1.6 38:45.58 java ç > Cassandra-stress > 29160 cassandr 20 0 16.3g 4.8g 10m S 1.3 5.0 44:46.89 java ç Cassandra > > > > Now, If I run another query on a table that provides a list of buckets > according to the owner, the number of op/s is divided by 2 (42000 op/s) and > CPU consumption grow UP. > > Ex : > TABLE : > > CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS owner_to_buckets (tenantid varchar, > name varchar, > owner varchar, > location varchar, > description varchar, > codeQuota varchar, > creationDate timestamp, > updateDate timestamp, > PRIMARY KEY ((owner, tenantid), name)); > > QUERY : select * from owner_to_buckets where owner = ? and tenantid = ? > limit 10; > > TOP output for 4 threads on cassandra-stress: > > top - 13:49:16 up 173 days, 22:26, 4 users, load average: 1.76, 1.48, 1.17 > Tasks: 273 total, 1 running, 271 sleeping, 0 stopped, 1 zombie > Cpu(s): 26.3%us, 8.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 64.7%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 1.0%si, 0.0%st > Mem: 98894704k total, 97512156k used, 1382548k free, 14580k buffers > Swap: 0k total, 0k used, 0k free, 90413772k cached > > PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND > 29160 cassandr 20 0 13.6g 4.8g 37m S 186.7 5.1 62:26.77 java ç Cassandra > 50622 root 20 0 28.8g 469m 12m S 102.5 0.5 0:45.84 java ç > Cassandra-stress > > TOP output for 271 threads on cassandra-stress: > > > top - 13:57:03 up 173 days, 22:34, 4 users, load average: 4.67, 1.76, 1.25 > Tasks: 272 total, 1 running, 270 sleeping, 0 stopped, 1 zombie > Cpu(s): 81.5%us, 14.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 3.1%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 1.3%si, 0.0%st > Mem: 98894704k total, 94955936k used, 3938768k free, 15892k buffers > Swap: 0k total, 0k used, 0k free, 85993676k cached > > PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND > 29160 cassandr 20 0 13.6g 4.8g 38m S 430.0 5.1 82:31.80 java ç Cassandra > 50622 root 20 0 29.1g 2.3g 12m S 343.4 2.4 17:51.22 java ç > Cassandra-stress > > > I have 4 tables with a composed PRIMARY KEY (two of them has 4 entries : 2 > for the partition key, one for cluster column and one for sort column) > Two of these tables are frequently read with the partition key because we > want to list data of a given user, this should explain my CPU load according > to the simple test done with Cassandra-stress … > > How can I avoid this? > Collections could be an option but the number of data per user is not limited > and can easily exceed 200 entries.
