Yes, that's exactly so. I have no need for multiple DataFileDirectories, except that it was a convenient way to test the hypothesis that the performance bottleneck I was experiencing due to writing only one sstable to disk at once could be solved by increasing the queue size for the writer (the maximum queue size turns out to be equal to the number of DataFileDirectories).

I haven't done so yet, but I intend to patch locally to allow direct configuration of the queue size rather than relying on this side effect.

Regards,
Andy.

I presume that's disk space reasons.

Do you have an actual use case for this functionality in which you
experience win?
I understood his use case to be working around
