Hi, Can you please help me in modeling the disk layout. I am estimating the size of the sstable file, index and BF (for a certain data model) using the details in ths link http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/ArchitectureSSTable and compare it with the real DB files. Unfortunately, there is a mismatch between the estimated size and real file. Does the timestamp field is allocated even if no value was assigned to it? The real index file row is much larger than what is described, and the structure of the column index is not clear. Can you give me more details about the index file, column index and BF size?
Please can you refer me to the code where those field are written to the disk? Thanks a lot, Miriam
