Getting the count of Cassandra table records

Extract the estimated number of records in a Cassandra cluster to verify that the data model is correct, or to troubleshoot slow response times.

Procedure

To obtain the estimated number of records, in the nodetool utility, run the nodetool cfstats command.

Note: Using the select count(*) command often produces a timeout exception when trying to extract a table record count.

For more information, see the Apache Cassandra documentation.
