About the data structure of partition index
Hi,
I am wondering how many primary keys are stored in one partition index.
As the following documents say,
<https://docs.datastax.com/en/glossary/doc/glossary/gloss_primary_index.html>
<http://docs.datastax.com/en/cassandra/2.2/cassandra/dml/dmlAboutReads.html>
I understand that each partition index has a list of primary keys and
the start position of compression offset map,
So, I assume the logical data structure of a partition index would be
like the following:
| [pkey1-pkeyN] | offset-to compression offset map |
(indexed by the first column to retrieve by a partition key)
I am wondering if it is a correct understanding and
how many primary keys are stored in the first column.
If it is not correct, would anyone give me the correct logical data structure ?
Thanks,
Hiro
