Stu Hood commented on CASSANDRA-1472: ------------------------------------- > why does avro make sense here? Forwards compatibility, varint encoding, one-liner compression (until we get around to implementing something smarter), and in general, it has a very nice Java API. Finally, I'm probably going to push to get the Avro datafile format into our SSTables, so this was a bit of a warmup. > Add bitmap secondary indexes > ---------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-1472 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1472 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Core > Reporter: Stu Hood > Fix For: 0.7.0 > > Attachments: 1472-v3.tgz, 1472-v4.tgz, anatomy.png, v4-bench-c32.txt > > > Bitmap indexes are a very efficient structure for dealing with immutable > data.
