Gary Dusbabek commented on CASSANDRA-1117:
------------------------------------------

I'm trying to see how these patches make Cassandra more awesome?  I think we've worked out the bugs with mmap.  This seems like a big refactor that doesn't net us anything.

> Awareness of MMAP is currently embedded into the SSTableReader implementation and IndexSummary. A good number of bugs experienced recently have been due to this lack of separation, so it is ripe for abstraction. Additionally, the current implementation does not provide a good method for iterating over the segments of a file, which is useful for range queries, and lays more stable groundwork for #998.
