Can someone (Jonathan?) help me understand the performance characteristics of this patch? Specifically: If I have an open ended CF, and I keep inserting with ever increasing column names (for example current Time), will things generally work out ok performance wise? Or will I pay some ever increasing penalty with the number of entries? My assumption is that you have bucketed things up for me by column name order, and as long as I don't delete/modify/create a column in one of the old buckets, then things will work out ok. Or is this not at all what is going on? Thanks, -JD
