I can't find documentation on this... SSTable Compression Ratio: 0.31685324166491696 One entry on the datastax site says that it's the "percentage" but is it 0.31% or 31% ? I think it's 31% … but I don't see where this is specified.. -- Founder/CEO Spinn3r.com Location: San Francisco, CA blog: http://burtonator.wordpress.com … or check out my Google+ profile
