Hi All, I am a getting started with Cassandra and have been reading the O'Reilly Book and some other documentation. I understand that data is persisted in SSTable files.
Where can I find parameters to control the SSTable files - e.g. their min/max sizes, etc. I looked up http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/StorageConfiguration and some other places do not find any such parameters. Also, when reading the book and some other examples on backups, it seems that when a column family is backed up, its all contained in a single data file. Is that because the examples did not have much data or is that the case even when you have hundreds of GB of data for a column family on a node in a cluster? Also, are incremental backups possible ? Where can I find examples of that? Thanks a lot in advance, Jayesh Thakrar
