Hi, First of all,the write latency of cassandra is not high(Read is high). The high throughput is achieved through distributes read and write. Your doubt ( If Latency is more how come the Throughput is high ) is some what right if you put high consistency to both read and write. You will get distributed abilities since it is not Master/Slave architecture(Like HBase). If your consistency is lesser,then some nodes out of all replica nodes are free and will be used for another read/write . [ Think you are using multithreaded application ] Thanks & Regards Job M Thomas Platform & Technology Mob : 7560885748

As I am going through few articles on Cassandra, it says Cassandra achieves highest throughput among various No SQL solutions but at the cost of high read and write latency. I have a basic question here - (If my understanding is right) Latency means the time taken to accept input, process and respond back. If Latency is more how come the Throughput is high? Thanks Ajay
