That's FB's workaround for cassandra dealing poorly with mass insert / data import. The idea is you pre-serialize columnfamilies, and then attach them to keys w/ binarymemtable which then stores them to sstables w/o having to do any of the normal CF serialization work. AFAIK nobody outside of FB has any sample code tho.
