Wei Deng created CASSANDRA-11639:
------------------------------------
Summary: guide_8099.md is a bit outdated
Key: CASSANDRA-11639
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11639
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Wei Deng
The guide_8099.md document that comes with the 8099 commit (dated Sep 1, 2014)
is a bit outdated.
For example, in many places of the Sep 1, 2014
[commit|https://github.com/apache/cassandra/tree/a991b64811f4d6adb6c7b31c0df52288eb06cf19]
we no longer use {{Atom}} to represent the unit when dealing with Row or
RangeTombstoneMarker and we use {{Unfiltered}} instead. However, you can still
find many references of {{Atom}} in this document. Also, AtomIterator is no
longer a thing and it's still referenced later in the document.
Another example of the outdated information is: we have removed all of the
"flyweight" pattern due to CASSANDRA-9705 in C* 3.0 GA, but this document still
talks about flyweight under a separate section.
As this guide_8099.md is considered as a key document to an important area of
under-the-hood Cassandra implementation, to help new developers to navigate
this storage engine area better and to avoid unnecessary confusions, we should
strive to keep it as updated as possible.
