> currently liveSize() is the sum of currentThroughput.
> this definition is wrong if most of the operations are overwrite, or counter (which is essentially overwrite).
> for example, the following code should always keep a single entry in db, with one row, one cf, one column, and supposedly should have a size of only about 100 bytes.
> connect localhost/9160;  
> create keyspace blah;
> use blah;
> create column family cf2 with memtable_throughput=1024 and memtable_operations=10000  ;
> set the cassandra.yaml 
> memtable_total_space_in_mb: 20
> to make the error appear faster (but if u set to default, still same issue will appear)
> then we use a simple pycassa  script:
> >>> pool = pycassa.connect('blah')
> >>> mycf = pycassa.ColumnFamily(pool,"cf2");
> >>> for x in range(1,10000000) :
> ...     xx = mycf.insert('key1',{'col1':"{}".format(x)})
> ... 
> you will see sstables being generated with only sizes of a few k, though we set the CF options to get high SSTable sizes
