this is another weird part. If you look at the schema[1] (pasted here,
extracted through cli), the keys_cached is set to 40million. And cfstats
shows that cassandra is only using 16 million.
Please note that I enabled row cache since I posted the cfstats. And
pasting the latest cfstats[2] herewith.
