> Some switches happen in the set of memtables and sstables of a cfstore:
> * when we switch the memtable, the current memtable is replaced by a new
> one and add to the memtablesPendingFlush
> * when a memtable is fully flushed, it is removed from
> memtablesPendingFlush and the newly created sstable is added to the set of
> active sstables.
> * after compaction, compacted memtables are removed from the active
> sstables and the compacted sstable is added instead
> Only the last of these operations is atomic. This ticket proposes to makes
> all of them atomic, using the idea of the View idea hinted by Stu in the
> comments of CASSANDRA-1954.
> The main reason for this is to fix CASSANDRA-2105. But I think that another
> benefit of this is to make reasoning about those operations easier.
