title: Cassandra performance testing tools
body: <p>I am trying to run performance tests for a 6 node datastax cassandra cluster.</p>
  
  <p>Could anyone tell me if they run the cassandra stress test alone or use any other tool to get the performance results?</p>
  
  <p>If so can anyone suggest me which tools are good to run performance tests on cassandra cluster? I tried searching and found Yahoo benchmarking tool but would like to get your suggestion before I run the tests.</p>
