title: What it mean to be write heavy in cassandra?
body: <p>I am kind of confused in terms of what it means to be write heavy in cassandra. Is this relative to the read frequency on a particular cluster or something absolute.
  e.g lets say in our environment if we have like 500 tps written and may be 100 queries per second.
  In this case write is relatively higher then the reads. But if we look at  just the writes from cassandra perspective, is this really high ?</p>
