For newcomers that ( https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-3.0.0/guide_8099.md) is probably a bad document to point them to, as it will no doubt confuse them - the naming, behaviour and format descriptions are all now partially incorrect. It was, by its own admission, intended only

C* 2.2 SSTable format is "la", "ma" is introduced in 3.0 including big changes on storage engige. Assuming you are asking about 2.2 and you are aware of SSTable is compound by different components. Index file which is Index.db just maps row keys to the position in Data.db. Now about how is

Re: Documentation on a new CQL feature of 3.6

2016-06-15 Thread Oleksandr Petrov
As far as I understand this wording, it's correct. Prior to 3.6 *filtering* was not allowed on clustering columns. It was allowed to do non-filtering queries involving clustering columns, although you could not specify any clustering column (or combine multiple range queries). Now it is allowed.

Hi to all, DS Documentation says that *In Cassandra 3.6 and later, clustering columns can be defined in WHERE clauses if ALLOW FILTERING is also used even if a secondary index is not created. The table definition is given and then the SELECT command. Note that race_start_date is a clustering

Hi, I'm interested in the SSTable index file format and particularly in Cassandra 2.2 which uses the SSTable version "ma". Apart from keys and their corresponding offsets in the data file what else is included in each index entry? I'm trying to trace code when an SSTable is flushed

It's a little more involved than that. I suggest inserting a single row in a test table, then looking at the sstabledump output as a first step, then compare with two rows in a single partition. Then you can code dive to see what sstabledump is actually doing if you really need the byte-level
