Tyler gives a good overview here: <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4775388/how-much-data-per-node-in-cassandra-cluster" rel="nofollow">http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4775388/how-much-data-per-node-in-cassandra-cluster</a> </p> http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/topic/recommended-disk-node#post-8093 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 13:27:18 +0000 ethrbunny 8093@http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/ <p>I've been following a discussion about Cassandra capacity planning on serverfault.com where it was suggested that nodes should have no more than .5 Tb of data. IE for 5 Tb of data one would need at least 10 nodes. I haven't been able to verify this against any documentation though. Has anyone seen recommendation(s) like this? </p> <p>Note - this is exclusive of how much RAM each node has. My understanding on this is that 'more is better - but don't give Java too much'. </p>
