One sort of related question: given that order of insertions has huge effects on some stores, like BDB (where inserting in key order is 10x faster than arbitrary order), would insertion order possibly have significant effect on Cassandra as well if using such stores? I bring this up because what we found out when creating local bdbs was that doing disk-sort before inserting big data sets allowed radically faster creation of these (read-only) databases. -+ Tatu +-
