I didn't check the graph which you refereed but 0.5.3 JanusGraph has some hard limits with Cassandra backend. I would recommend trying 0.6.0 version. You might want to add some configurations related to your throughput. Something like: ``` storage.cql.read-consistency-level: ONE query.batch: true query.smart-limit: false # query.fast-property: false or true depending on queries ids.block-size: 1000000 storage.batch-loading: true storage.cql.local-max-connections-per-host: 5 storage.cql.max-requests-per-connection: 1024 storage.cql.executor-service.enabled: false storage.parallel-backend-executor-service.core-pool-size: 100 ```
