Wait, did I read that right? the test was with (1) one server? What's the point of that? Smells like a cooked up test.

The point of that is to show how efficient a node can be, because that is what is replaced.

All the external facing things for scylla is the same as Cassandra. That includes all the ring stuff and all network protocols.

So you should expect similar cluster behavior.

>> So you should expect similar cluster behavior.

i would expect nothing.

If theire numbers were astounding with a 10, 100, 1000 node cluster, they would have published numbers with such set-ups. I call shenanigans on a report that is purposely out of line with the expected use case.

Cassandra is an open source distributed database management system designed to handle large amounts of data across many commodity servers, providing high availability with no single point of failure.......

There is nothing commodity about a server with 128GB RAM.

When you introduce other nodes, you get chatter and network traffic....

Nothing commodity about a server with 128GB RAM? At list price, you can configure one of dell's entry-level servers with 128GB of RAM for less than $3,500.

Dell's servers you point to do not have 48 logical cores, either. That cpu runs $2.2K by itself.

Except I can launch higher than that on EC2, so that's not fact.
