Stu Hood commented on CASSANDRA-1472:
-------------------------------------

> Switching over to avro/thrift/msgpack removes that choice. [...] knowing 
> exactly what we're reading and writing.
Except that Avro has a specification. We can re-implement a file format 
identical to the specification (been there, done that for 674), but since there 
is an almost-standard for immutable data, I'd prefer not to invent that wheel.

> Add bitmap secondary indexes

> Bitmap indexes are a very efficient structure for dealing with immutable 
> data. We can take advantage of the fact that SSTables are immutable by 
> attaching them directly to SSTables as a new component (supported by 
> CASSANDRA-1471).
