Some of the fields are indeed written in one shot, but others (such as label and categories) are added later, so I think the question still stands.

In reality I do not have one volatile part, but multiple ones (say all trading data of day). Each would be a supercolumn identified by the time slot, with the individual fields as subcolumns. If you're always going to write these attributes in one shot, then just serialize them and use a simple CF, there's no need for a SCF. -Brandon
