For newcomers that (

probably a bad document to point them to, as it will no doubt confuse them

incorrect.

Since the specs change with the code id argue everything belongs in the git
repo including deep technical specs.

I think high level concepts of how data is stored should be in user facing
documentation. Storage format affects schema design. But low level specifics
should be kept to contributor documentation.

I agree that it should be documented but I don't think it should be in user
level docs. Let's keep it in the wiki for contributors.

I think ideally one day something like this should live in the docs:

Be aware that this page hasn't been updated since 2013, so it doesn't
reflect any changes to the SSTable format since then, including the
new storage engine introduced in 3.0 (see CASSANDRA-8099).
That said, I believe the linked Apache wiki p

Thanks for your advice.

Hi Matt,

The dev list is the lifeblood of an Apache project, and

The tools supplied by Apache for documentation, ie, wiki, are awful. No

You can try Datastax Docs, they are most extensive and updated
