Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-389:
------------------------------------------

note that it's important to make versions alphabetic (not numeric or 
alphanumeric) b/c generation is already numeric, so keeping those in separate 
vocabularies will help catch potential errors

> As we continue to make changes to the on-disk format of SSTables, I propose 
> we start versioning. The easiest way without breaking backwards compatibility 
> is to store the version in the filename. This would allow us to figure out 
> the version without looking at the SSTable data. After speaking to Jonathan 
> here is the proposed example:
> <CF>-<ID>-<DATA|INDEX|FILTER>-<VERSION>
