Slides: https://www.slideshare.net/DataStax/microbatching-highperformance-writes-adam-zegelin-instaclustr-cassandra-summit-2016 | This presentation will investigate how using micro-batching for submitting writes to Cassandra can improve throughput and reduce client application CPU load. Micro-batching combines writes for the same partition key into a single network request and ensures they hit the "fast path" for writes on a Cassandra node.
