Make you wonder why http://www.hypertable.org/ has not taken over the world
yet.

For the average person Cassandra on docker, on dcos, on xen, on amazon,
where the machines are not even on the same physical switch and fsync is
virtualized ....What really matters? Unless you can drop in replace Scylla
for ANY version of cassandra and try it with your workload your not proving
much. More time should be spend understanding if leveldb/structured log
merge actually makes sense in your use case.
