Name: Cassandra Disk Drive Performance Benchmarks at Gnip and Cassandra v2.0
Start: 2013-10-30T18:30:00-06:00
End: 2013-10-30T21:30:00-06:00
Location: Gnip

Nick Matheson, Software Engineer at Gnip, and his team are currently running benchmark tests with Cassandra on different classes of disk drives. These benchmarks will help them better understand maximum read/write performance and the different drive options that exist in the market. Nick will be presenting on what they've uncovered so far.

Michael Shaler, Business Development at DataStax, will be giving an introduction to some of the new features in the latest v2.0 release of Cassandra. Come by and learn about the exciting work the Cassandra dev team has been doing in v2.0 such as:

• Lightweight Transactions (Compare and Swap)

• Eager Retries

• Improved Compaction

• Triggers (experimental)

• CQL Cursors

Food and beverage will be served; we hope you're able to make it!
