Blog post on Cassandra's inner workings and performance - feedback welcome
Hi all,
I'm currently in the process of understanding the inner workings of
Cassandra with regards to network and local storage mechanisms and
operations. In order to do so, I've written a blog post about it which is
now in a "first final" version.
Any feedback, especially corrections regarding misunderstandings on my
side, would be highly appreciated. The post really represents my very
subjective view on how Cassandra works under the hood, which makes it prone
to errors of course.

Thanks,

Yes, the joke's on me. It was a copy&paste error, and I've since posted the correct URL (journeymonitor.com:4000/tutorials/2016/02/29/cassandra-inner-workings-and-how-this-relates-to-performance/).
Substantial feedback regarding the actual post still very much welcome.

2 )”why more memory makes things worse” - I’d be interested to see you argue that - it really isn’t true with big boxes. (but yes off heap is good) - we run 24 gig JVMs with 8g new gen and never see more than a second or so STW and that is rare (but we do have lot of -XX: options)

I saw this really useful post a few days ago. I found the organization and
presentation quite clear and helpful (I often struggle trying to do high
level comparisons of Hadoop and Cass). Thank you!
If there was sections I would like to see your clear thoughts appear
within, it would be around:
- (1) why networks need to be clean (the impact of "dirty"/erratic
networks);
- (2) the impact of java (off heap, stop the world garbage collection,
why more memory makes things worse;
- (3) table design decisions (read mostly, write mostly, mixed
read/write, etc.)
A really great writeup, thank you!

Localhost is a special network address that never leaves the operating
system. It only goes "half way" down the IP stack. Thanks for your efforts!

Hi all,
I'm currently in the process of understanding the inner workings of Cassandra with regards to network and local storage mechanisms and operations. In order to do so, I've written a blog post about it which is now in a "first final" version.
Any feedback, especially corrections regarding misunderstandings on my side, would be highly appreciated. The post really represents my very subjective view on how Cassandra works under the hood, which makes it prone to errors of course.
