Use the following sstable on our file system as an example.

rw-rr- 1 byan admin 333 Mar 5 15:26 indexBytes-hd-115-Index.db
rw-rr- 1 byan admin 66305 Mar 5 15:26 indexBytes-tmp-hd-115-Data.db
rw-rr- 1 byan admin 67 Mar 5 15:26 indexBytes-tmp-hd-115-Digest.sha1
rw-rr- 1 byan admin 1936 Mar 5 15:26 indexBytes-tmp-hd-115-Filter.db

The reason why we tweak the hashcode and equals methods is that the
Descriptor for indexBytes-hd-115-Index.db and  indexBytes-tmp-hd-115-Data.db
are the same. If the Descriptor is used as key in a map and
indexBytes-hd-115-Index.db
get listed first, the C* will consider that the there are four components
for this Descriptor [Digest.sha1, Index.db, Filter.db, Data.db]. In this
case, it is not correct. When removing orphans for sstable, the Descriptor
will be used to create the filename to delete files, that is why C* cannot
find the file to delete.

Boris
