Hi all, older Cassandra versions had to read columns from each SSTable with positive bloom filter in order to find recent value. This was optimized with: Improve read performance in update-intensive workload <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2498> Now each SSTable has metadata - SSTableMetadata.
Bloom filter is stored in RAM, but what about metadata? Is disk seek required to access it? Thanks, Maciej
