This is not true (with one minor exception). All operations on sets and maps require no reads. The same is true for appends and prepends on lists, but delete and set operations on lists with (non-zero) indexes require the list to be read first. However, the entire list does not need to be re-written to disk. -- Tyler Hobbs DataStax <http://datastax.com/>
