Table 1. Output of cassandra-stress
Data Description
total ops Running total number of operations during the run.
op/s Number of operations per second performed during the run.
pk/s Number of partition operations per second performed during the run.
row/s Number of row operations per second performed during the run.
mean Average latency in milliseconds for each operation during that run.
med Median latency in milliseconds for each operation during that run.
.95 95% of the time the latency was less than the number displayed in the column.
.99 99% of the time the latency was less than the number displayed in the column.
.999 99.9% of the time the latency was less than the number displayed in the column.
max Maximum latency in milliseconds.
time Total operation time.
stderr Standard error of the mean. It is a measure of confidence in the average throughput number; the smaller the number, the more accurate the measure of the cluster's performance.
gc: # Number of garbage collections.
max ms Longest garbage collection in milliseconds.
sum ms Total of garbage collection in milliseconds.
sdv ms Standard deviation in milliseconds.
mb Size of the garbage collection in megabytes.
