You probably want all nodes to have the same number # of tokens assuming they have equal hardware capability. # # If you leave this unspecified, Cassandra will use the default of 1 token for legacy compatibility, # and will use the initial_token as described below. # # Specifying initial_token will override this setting on the node's initial start, # on subsequent starts, this setting will apply even if initial token is set. # # If you already have a cluster with 1 token per node, and wish to migrate to # multiple tokens per node, see http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/Operations num_tokens: 256 # Triggers automatic allocation of num_tokens tokens for this node. The allocation # algorithm attempts to choose tokens in a way that optimizes replicated load over # the nodes in the datacenter for the replication strategy used by the specified # keyspace. # # The load assigned to each node will be close to proportional to its number of # vnodes. # # Only supported with the Murmur3Partitioner. # allocate_tokens_for_keyspace: KEYSPACE # initial_token allows you to specify tokens manually.

The competing goals are these: # # - a smaller granularity means more index entries are generated # and looking up rows withing the partition by collation column # is faster # - but, Cassandra will keep the collation index in memory for hot # rows (as part of the key cache), so a larger granularity means # you can cache more hot rows column_index_size_in_kb: 64 # Per sstable indexed key cache entries (the collation index in memory # mentioned above) exceeding this size will not be held on heap. # This means that only partition information is held on heap and the # index entries are read from disk. # # Note that this size refers to the size of the # serialized index information and not the size of the partition. column_index_cache_size_in_kb: 2 # Number of simultaneous compactions to allow, NOT including # validation "compactions" for anti-entropy repair. Simultaneous # compactions can help preserve read performance in a mixed read/write # workload, by mitigating the tendency of small sstables to accumulate # during a single long running compactions. The default is usually # fine and if you experience problems with compaction running too # slowly or too fast, you should look at # compaction_throughput_mb_per_sec first. # # concurrent_compactors defaults to the smaller of (number of disks, # number of cores), with a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 8. # # If your data directories are backed by SSD, you should increase this # to the number of cores. #concurrent_compactors: 1 # Throttles compaction to the given total throughput across the entire # system. The faster you insert data, the faster you need to compact in # order to keep the sstable count down, but in general, setting this to # 16 to 32 times the rate you are inserting data is more than sufficient. # Setting this to 0 disables throttling. Note that this account for all types # of compaction, including validation compaction. compaction_throughput_mb_per_sec: 16 # When compacting, the replacement sstable(s) can be opened before they # are completely written, and used in place of the prior sstables for # any range that has been written. This helps to smoothly transfer reads # between the sstables, reducing page cache churn and keeping hot rows hot sstable_preemptive_open_interval_in_mb: 50 # Throttles all outbound streaming file transfers on this node to the # given total throughput in Mbps. This is necessary because Cassandra does # mostly sequential IO when streaming data during bootstrap or repair, which # can lead to saturating the network connection and degrading rpc performance. # When unset, the default is 200 Mbps or 25 MB/s. # stream_throughput_outbound_megabits_per_sec: 200 # Throttles all streaming file transfer between the datacenters, # this setting allows users to throttle inter dc stream throughput in addition # to throttling all network stream traffic as configured with # stream_throughput_outbound_megabits_per_sec # When unset, the default is 200 Mbps or 25 MB/s # inter_dc_stream_throughput_outbound_megabits_per_sec: 200 # How long the coordinator should wait for read operations to complete read_request_timeout_in_ms: 5000 # How long the coordinator should wait for seq or index scans to complete range_request_timeout_in_ms: 10000 # How long the coordinator should wait for writes to complete write_request_timeout_in_ms: 2000 # How long the coordinator should wait for counter writes to complete counter_write_request_timeout_in_ms: 5000 # How long a coordinator should continue to retry a CAS operation # that contends with other proposals for the same row cas_contention_timeout_in_ms: 1000 # How long the coordinator should wait for truncates to complete # (This can be much longer, because unless auto_snapshot is disabled # we need to flush first so we can snapshot before removing the data.) truncate_request_timeout_in_ms: 60000 # The default timeout for other, miscellaneous operations request_timeout_in_ms: 10000 # Enable operation timeout information exchange between nodes to accurately # measure request timeouts.

The snitch has two functions: # # - it teaches Cassandra enough about your network topology to route # requests efficiently # - it allows Cassandra to spread replicas around your cluster to avoid # correlated failures. It does this by grouping machines into # "datacenters" and "racks." Cassandra will do its best not to have # more than one replica on the same "rack" (which may not actually # be a physical location) # # CASSANDRA WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO SWITCH TO AN INCOMPATIBLE SNITCH # ONCE DATA IS INSERTED INTO THE CLUSTER. This would cause data loss. # This means that if you start with the default SimpleSnitch, which # locates every node on "rack1" in "datacenter1", your only options # if you need to add another datacenter are GossipingPropertyFileSnitch # (and the older PFS). From there, if you want to migrate to an # incompatible snitch like Ec2Snitch you can do it by adding new nodes # under Ec2Snitch (which will locate them in a new "datacenter") and # decommissioning the old ones. # # Out of the box, Cassandra provides: # # SimpleSnitch: # Treats Strategy order as proximity. This can improve cache # locality when disabling read repair. Only appropriate for # single-datacenter deployments. # # GossipingPropertyFileSnitch # This should be your go-to snitch for production use. The rack # and datacenter for the local node are defined in # cassandra-rackdc.properties and propagated to other nodes via # gossip. If cassandra-topology.properties exists, it is used as a # fallback, allowing migration from the PropertyFileSnitch. # # PropertyFileSnitch: # Proximity is determined by rack and data center, which are # explicitly configured in cassandra-topology.properties. # # Ec2Snitch: # Appropriate for EC2 deployments in a single Region. Loads Region # and Availability Zone information from the EC2 API. The Region is # treated as the datacenter, and the Availability Zone as the rack. # Only private IPs are used, so this will not work across multiple # Regions. # # Ec2MultiRegionSnitch: # Uses public IPs as broadcast_address to allow cross-region # connectivity. (Thus, you should set seed addresses to the public # IP as well.) You will need to open the storage_port or # ssl_storage_port on the public IP firewall. (For intra-Region # traffic, Cassandra will switch to the private IP after # establishing a connection.) # # RackInferringSnitch: # Proximity is determined by rack and data center, which are # assumed to correspond to the 3rd and 2nd octet of each node's IP # address, respectively. Unless this happens to match your # deployment conventions, this is best used as an example of # writing a custom Snitch class and is provided in that spirit. # # You can use a custom Snitch by setting this to the full class name # of the snitch, which will be assumed to be on your classpath. endpoint_snitch: SimpleSnitch # controls how often to perform the more expensive part of host score # calculation dynamic_snitch_update_interval_in_ms: 100 # controls how often to reset all host scores, allowing a bad host to # possibly recover dynamic_snitch_reset_interval_in_ms: 600000 # if set greater than zero and read_repair_chance is < 1.0, this will allow # 'pinning' of replicas to hosts in order to increase cache capacity. # The badness threshold will control how much worse the pinned host has to be # before the dynamic snitch will prefer other replicas over it. This is # expressed as a double which represents a percentage. Thus, a value of # 0.2 means Cassandra would continue to prefer the static snitch values # until the pinned host was 20% worse than the fastest. dynamic_snitch_badness_threshold: 0.1 # request_scheduler -- Set this to a class that implements # RequestScheduler, which will schedule incoming client requests # according to the specific policy.
