> This node has 200GB of data in two column families and the time to sample all
> tables and startup is 7+ minutes. The logging suggests this process is
> happening a single SSTable at a time. Additionally the normal system vitals
> mainly DISK and CPU do not look overtaxed.
> * Since SSTables are immutable is there a way the sampling of the tables
> could be saved?
> * Could this process be done in parallel for speedup?
> * Can multiple column families be processed at once?
> Unless someone has an insanely powerful disk pack making mention of 2TB
> limitations seem out of place. Unless my calculations are wrong (which they
> usually are), I have a pretty decent hardware, and if I had 2 TB of data I
> would have a 95 minute node start up?
> I hope that maybe sampling multiple ColumnFamilies at once would make nodes
> of at least a few hundred GB startup reasonably fast.
