Re: Cassandra on top of B-Tree

2010-03-28 Thread Avinash Lakshman
Here is why I think it is not a good fit for Cassandra (at least top 3 reasons that come to mind): (1) Cassandra strives to make updates very very cheap. With BTree's every update is a read modify write. (2) BTree on rebalance tend to result in a lot of fragmentation leading to poorer performance
