The "MemtableSSTable" page has been changed by JonathanEllis: http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/MemtableSSTable?action=diff&rev1=17&rev2=18 == Overview == - Cassandra writes are first written to the [[Durability|CommitLog]], and then to a per-!ColumnFamily structure called a Memtable. A Memtable is basically a write-back cache of data rows that can be looked up by key -- that is, unlike a write-through cache, writes are batched up in the Memtable until it is full, before being written to disk as an SSTable. + Cassandra writes are first written to the [[Durability|CommitLog]], and then to a per-!ColumnFamily structure called a Memtable.
