Hi, [~yukim]

Thanks for the quick replay, I had been looking for SSTable formats on branch 
2.2(la), 2.1(ka) and 2.0(jb). I'm not sure if I'm in the right way, but I had 
been looking for following stuffs:

- Regarding to changelog on 
[BIgVersion|https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-3.3/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/io/sstable/format/big/BigFormat.java#L116]:
-- There's some change with checksums such as adler32 for compression check sum.
-- In version 2.1 introduces Statistics, but I found it as component of SSTable 
in version 2.0(?)
-- Vesion 2.2 only introduces a new file name format, "la".

- Respect to "Formats", I had been looking for 
[SSTableFormat|https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/src%2Fjava%2Forg%2Fapache%2Fcassandra%2Fio%2Fsstable%2Fformat%2FSSTableFormat.java#L35]
 available on branch 2.2, that contains table format type, which is "big", but 
I didn't find any information about that on branch 2.1 and 2.0. Also there's no 
indication of this thing in its 
[Descriptors|https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-2.1/src%2Fjava%2Forg%2Fapache%2Fcassandra%2Fio%2Fsstable%2FDescriptor.java#L39].
 Also as I mentioned before I had been looking for 
[Components|https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-2.1/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/io/sstable/Component.java#L32]
 of each branch and seems the main differences are:
-- They use different hash functions for digest 2.2 uses adler32, 2.1 and 2.0 
uses sha-1
-- 2.0 version has COMPACTED_MARKER, which is removed in forward versions.
I'm not sure if i missed something.
- Therefore, if I'm correct, please correct me if not, if we want to write (I 
have a question about this terminology, when we say write in this context do we 
mean write, or create? Because I found that SSTable is immutable after 
creation) an older version of SSTable we should have proper Digest and 
COMPACTED_MARKER also in case of jb.

My sincerest apologies for making this comment this way long, If above 
considerations are correct, I'll continue looking for code base and SSTable 
API, also would you mind tell me where can I find implementation of changes 
proposed in the BigVersion and implementation of SSTable, I had been looking 
for 
[SSTable|https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-2.2/src%2Fjava%2Forg%2Fapache%2Fcassandra%2Fio%2Fsstable%2FSSTable.java#L57]
 but I don't know if it's the right one.

Best regards,
