Hi,
We are modelling schema for database revamp from mysql to Cassandra. It has
been recommended in several places that column names must be kept as small
as possible to optimise disk storage.
I have a doubt here, why can't we map column names and store it as an
index, say in memory. I mean,
It has been talked about in the past, see
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4175 for example. However with
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8099, the duplication of column
names is gone. So once you’re on Cassandra 3+, this optimization is a lot less
valuable.
