obtained from the supercolumn schema was also taken many days after the
data ingest, so it had to be after compact as well, no? In neither case we
issued any nodetool compact commands.
you are right that we probabl
Standard columns save size over super columns. Not 50% but depending
on the size of the data (3 byte values) the overhead could be
significant. I have noticed that post sstable rebuild, 1.0 kicked off
some comp actions behind the scenes shrinking some files

from cassandra 0.8 to 1.0, and changed our schema to use regular columns
instead of supercolumns, the aggregated size of cassandra data files
