I believe off-heap storage was reintroduced in 3.4 ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9472). It was removed from 3.0 due to the refactoring of the storage engine. Check out http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/off-heap-memtables-in-Cassandra-2-1 to get an overview of the pros and cons of using off-heap storage.
