Jonathan Ellis updated CASSANDRA-446:
-------------------------------------

    Attachment: CASSANDRA-446.patch

Some modifications:

- was using a decoration comparator on the strings returned by getKeyRange 
(which are undecorated).  fixed.  this was the only place using the old String 
DK comparators, so removed those too.
- made code use partitioner.convertToDiskFormat explicitly instead of relying 
on DK.toString; the two did not return the same values but needed to (e.g. 
bloom filter related code was relying on this).  making toString return 
something human-readable instead removes the temptation of treating them as 
interchangeable.
- made OPP DK (null, key) again; there's no reason (?) to generate unnecessary 
garbage

> See CASSANDRA-420 for introduction of DecoratedKey.
> IMO we should move Memtable and SSTR objects to using DK objects, too.  This 
> will help Memtable flushes similar to how this helps BMt, and using DK 
> objects in SSTR will avoid a ton of potential confusion about whether a 
> String is a key or a decorated key.
> As a side benefit, moving the decoration operation out of memtable flush and 
> into the insert path will help make better use of multicore systems, since we 
> can have multiple write threads but only one core can flush at a time.  (See 
> CASSANDRA-445.)
