             Summary: Remove row cache until we can replace it with something 
better
                 Key: CASSANDRA-5348
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5348
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Core
            Reporter: Jonathan Ellis
            Assignee: Jonathan Ellis
             Fix For: 2.0


The row (partition) cache easily does more harm than good.  People expect it to 
act like a query cache but it is very different than that, especially for the 
wide partitions that are so common in Cassandra data models.

Making it off-heap by default only helped a little; we still have to 
deserialize the partition to the heap to query it.

Ultimately we can add a better cache based on the ideas in CASSANDRA-1956 or 
CASSANDRA-2864, but even if we don't get to that until 2.1, removing the old 
row cache for 2.0 is a good idea.
