the base table to a Quorum of replica nodes
+ * one batch log on each replica node ensuring the update is made to the
corresponding materialized view.
+ The process on the local coordinator looks as follows:
+ 1. Create batch log. To ensure consistency, the batch log ensures that
changes are applied to a Quorum of replica nodes, regardless of the

+ The local coordinator receives the write request from the client and performs
the following:
+ 1.The local coordinator determines which nodes are responsible for
storing the data:
+ • The first replica is chosen based on the Partitioner hashing the

+ • Other replicas are chosen based on replication strategy defined for the

+ 3.The total number of nodes receiving the write request is determined by
the replication factor for the keyspace.
+ Replica Nodes
+ Replica nodes receive the write request from the local coordinator and
perform the following:
+ 1.Write data to the Commit Log. This is a sequential, memory-mapped log
file, on disk, that can be used to rebuild MemTables if a crash occurs before
the MemTable is flushed to disk.
+ 2.Write data to the MemTable. MemTables are mutable, in-memory tables
that are read/write. Each physical table on each replica node has an associated
MemTable.
+ 3.If the write request is a DELETE operation (whether a delete of a
column or a row), a tombstone marker is written to the Commit Log and MemTable
to indicate the delete.
+ 4.If row caching is used, invalidate the cache for that row. Row cache is
populated on read only, so it must be invalidated when data for that row is
written.
+ 5.Acknowledge the write request back to the local coordinator.
+ The local coordinator waits for the appropriate number of acknowledgements
(dependent on the consistency level for this write request) before
acknowledging back to the client.
+ Flushing MemTables
+ MemTables are flushed to disk based on various factors, some of which include:
+ • commitlog_total_space_in_mb is exceeded
+ • memtable_total_space_in_mb is exceeded
+ • ‘Nodetool flush’ command is executed
+ • Etc.
+ Each flush of a MemTable results in one new, immutable SSTable on disk. After
the flush an SSTable (Sorted String Table) is read-only. As with the write to
the Commit Log, the write to the SSTable data file is a sequential write
operation. An SSTable consists of multiple files, including the following:
+ • Bloom Filter
+ • Index
+ • Compression File (optional)
+ • Statistics File
+ • Data File
+ • Summary
+ • TOC.txt
+ Each MemTable flush executes the following steps:
+ 1.Sort the MemTable columns by row key
+ 2.Write the Bloom Filter
+ 3.Write the Index
+ 4.Serialise and write the data to the SSTable Data File
+ 5.Write Compression File (if compression is used)
+ 6.Write Statistics File
+ 7.Purge the written data from the Commit Log
+ Unavailable Replica Nodes and Hinted Handoff
+ When a local coordinator is unable to send data to a replica node due to the
replica node being unavailable, the local coordinator stores the data in its
local system.hints table; this process is known as Hinted Handoff. The data is
stored for a default period of 3 hours. When the replica node comes back online
the coordinator node will send the data to the replica node.
