> The most important concepts to come out of CASSANDRA-674 were the Slice, Metadata and ColumnKey structures.
> As a replacement for SuperColumns and ColumnFamilies in the current codebase, Slices can addtionally:
> * Represent arbitrarily nested columns
> * Allow for eventually consistent range deletes (equivalent to a CF containing multiple 'markedForDelete' values)
> * Be used for memory efficient compactions, since they encapsulate nesting and can be iterated
> * Eliminate code duplication for SuperColumn handling
> This is an umbrella ticket for the task of replacing the SuperColumn and ColumnFamily datastructures in the codebase, preferably with something like Slice.
