cassandra-stress what does it mean?

Question

I ran cassandra-stress on an ec2 m3-medium which hosts 1 of 3 nodes in my cluster.

cassandra-stress write n=100000 -schema "replication(strategy=NetworkTopologyStrategy, us-east=1)"

I got this result

Results:

op rate : 2794 [WRITE:2794]

partition rate : 2794 [WRITE:2794]

row rate : 2794 [WRITE:2794] ...
Total operation time : 00:00:35

apart from the other results that come.

I want to know is this correct for a m3-medium system?

Also i want to know does this mean i can only do around 2794 writes per second successfully?

Answer 1

Check below is the description of all the output metrics for cassandra-stress. Those metrics seems to be quiet fair for a m3-medium system
