Re: Operation Consideration with Counter Column Families

 Thanks Aaron, so will there only be one value for each counter column per 
 sstable just like regular columns?
Yes. 

  For some reason I was under the impression that Cassandra keeps a log of all 
 the increments not the actual value.
Not as far as I understand. 

Cheers

 Performance, as they incur a read and a write. 
 There were some issues with overcounts in log replay (see the changes.txt). 
  
  How are counter column families stored on disk? 
 Same as regular CF's. 
 
 How do they effect compaction?
 None.

Hey Guys,

Are there any specific operational considerations one should make when using 
counter columns families? How are counter column families stored on disk? How
