How to scale Cassandra?

Hi there, I read a lot of Cassandra's high scalability feature: allowing seamless addition of nodes, no downtime etc. But I wonder how one will do this in practice in an operational system. In the system we're going to implement we're expecting a huge number of writes with uniformly distribut
