I've configured a simple cluster using two PC with identical spec: cpu core i5 RAM: 8GB ddr3 Disk: 1TB 5400rpm Network: 1 G (I've test it with iperf, it really is!) using the common configs described in many sites including datastax itself:
cluster_name: 'MyCassandraCluster' num_tokens: 256 seed_provider: - class_name: org.apache.cassandra.locator.SimpleSeedProvider parameters: - seeds: "192.168.1.1,192.168.1.2" listen_address: rpc_address: 0.0.0.0 endpoint_snitch: GossipingPropertyFileSnitch Running stress tool: cassandra-stress write n=1000000 -rate threads=1000 -mode native cql3 -node 192.168.1.1,192.168.1.2 Over each node it shows 39 K writes/seconds, but running the same stress tool command on cluster of both nodes shows 45 K writes/seconds. I've done all the tuning mentioned by apache and datastax. There are many use cases on the net proving Cassandra linear Scalability So what is wrong with my cluster? Sent using Zoho Mail
