I mean > 10 TB of data on each node without worrying about node join/remove? This is something needed for Write-Heavy applications that do not read a lot. When you have like 2 TB of data per day and need to keep it for 6 month, it would be waste of money to purchase 180 servers (even Commodity or Cloud). IMHO, even if 4.0 fix problem with streaming/joining a new node, still Compaction is another evil for a big node, but we could tolerate that somehow Sent using Zoho Mail
