What are the basic steps to improve Cassandra performance
hi all, I'm a bit new to Cassandra and was wondering what are the basic steps that we must follow to optimize the Cassandra for performance in general and how to improve the performance for "select * from X" type of queries. Any help would be much appreciated. Note that, we have huge data sitting in our schema.
Thanks, DK

It's a lot easier to answer specific questions. Cassandra is fast, and there are way to make it faster in specific use cases.

Ah. Are you specifying a row key or are you trying to get multiple rows ? Getting the columns from the start of row is the most efficient query, see my presentation here http://www.datastax.com/events/cassandrasummit2012/presentations
Hope that helps.
