Ryan King commented on CASSANDRA-1657:
--------------------------------------
For narrow SSTables, shouldn't the row cache be enough for this?
> support in-memory column families

> Key: CASSANDRA-1657
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1657
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Peter Schuller
> Priority: Minor
>
> Some workloads are such that you absolutely depend on column families being
> in-memory for performance, yet you most definitely want all the things that
> Cassandra offers in terms of replication, consistency, durability etc.
> In order to semi-deterministically ensure acceptable performance for such
> data, Cassandra could support in-memory column families. Such an in-memory
> column family would imply that mlock() be used on sstables for this column
> family. On start-up and on compaction completion, they could be mmap():ed
> with MAP_POPULATE (Linux specific) or else just mmap():ed + mlock():ed in
> such a way as to otherwise guarantee it is in-memory (such as userland
> traversal of the entire file).
