Read performance issues

As previously indicated, reads can be slow for other reasons:

  • Too many tombstones
  • Result set is too large
  • Partitions are too large

Please note that none of the configuration settings mentioned in this section can solve these issues. They must be dealt with at the data-model/usage level. Chapter 3, Effective CQL, discusses strategies to help model around each of these performance issues.
