Python/Cassandra: insert vs. CSV import
Question: I am generating load test data in a Python script for Cassandra.

Is it better to insert directly into Cassandra from the script, or to write a
CSV file and then load that via Cassandra?

This is for a couple million rows.


Answer: For a few million, I'd say just use CSV (assuming rows aren't huge); and see
if it works. If not, inserts it is :)

For more heavy duty stuff, you might want to create sstables and use sstable
loader.
