hi there brian. *** 1) I don't think anyone in the gluster community has done much with Cassandra on gluster. but i could be wrong. See (3) for my (postulated) reason why. 2) Have you considered *HBase* (which we are actively testing and playing with on many hadoop distributions) or *Riak*? Those are both much more "gluster freindly", i think, in that they have a more modular architecture. Also, because of the fact that cassandra requires ridiculously large files, I always wonder wether any file system (other than Cassandra's file system) is really *that* good of a fit. 3) Just my opinion, but whereas Riak has a modular storeage backend, and HBase has an abstract "org.apache.hadoop.FileSystem" interfacial backend - Cassandra sort of tries to do everything. Firstly, providing both key/value storage infrastructure, and secondly providing its own distributed file system implementation, making it a little bit more monolithic of a component in your stack. 4) FYI: We've recently setup an HBase on Gluster two node vagrant recipe. You should play with it if you get a chance: git clone https://forge.gluster.org/vagrant/fedora19-gluster/trees/master cd gluster-hbase-example vagrant destroy --force && vagrant up On Fri, Nov 1, 2013 at 8:36 AM, Brian <bsilverwood at viddler.com> wrote: > Has anyone set up Cassandra on a Gluster file system (commit logs disk & > data disks)? > > If so - any recommended gluster tweaks/settings? > > According to Datastax - these disks should be formatted to XFS.
