Trying to understand the overhead when multiple columns are spread accross ssTables. For eg: Key K1 column b and c are in ssTable 1 and column a in ssTable 2. As I understand columns in a given row are sorted at the time it's stored. So does it mean that when "a" goes to ssTable 2 it also fetches column "b" and "c" from ssTable 1 and writes a,b,c in ssTable 2? Or in this case the sorting occurs on the columnSlice read call?
When ssTables are merged I am sure they are stored in sorted order but not sure in the case above. -- View this message in context: http://cassandra-user-incubator-apache-org.3065146.n2.nabble.com/How-are-column-sort-handled-tp6595415p6595415.html Sent from the cassandra-u...@incubator.apache.org mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
