> The basic idea is to allow rows to get large enough that they don't have to
> fit in memory entirely, but can easily fit on a disk. The compaction
> algorithm today de-serializes the entire row in memory before writing out the
> compacted SSTable (see ColumnFamilyStore.doCompaction() and associated
> methods).
> The requirement is to have a compaction method with a lower memory
> requirement so we can support rows larger than available main memory. To
> re-use the old FB example, if we stored a user's inbox in a row, we'd want
> the inbox to grow bigger than memory so long as it fit on disk.
