Performance concerns

[Telavian]

I have a 3 node cluster I am using for testing.
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5650 @ 2.67GHz
Mem: 94GB
Disk: SSD

Currently doing about 1000 updates a second seems to bring all the nodes to 100% CPU and start timing out operations.
Is this normal?

What should I check or update?

That sounds slow but I guess it depends on the size of the updates as well as could be some configuration issues. I would probably try doing the same inserts on a table without a lucene-based secondary index to see if it's lucene overhead or something else.

These updates also were not just on the lucene indexed tables. Either the lucene indexes were bringing the whole cluster down or the non-lucene indexed tables were also slow for some reason.

Certainly switching back to elasticsearch caused the cluster to be very fast again.
I know this information is very general and would love to pin it down to something more specific for you.

Do you have a load test currently?
