> Currently we maintain a ConcurrentSkipLastMap of DecoratedKey -> Partition in our memtables. Maintaining this is an O(lg(n)) operation; since the vast majority of users use a hash partitioner, it occurs to me we could maintain a hybrid ordered list / hash map. The list would impose the normal order on the collection, but a hash index would live alongside as part of the same data structure, simply mapping into the list and permitting O(1) lookups and inserts.
> I've chosen to implement this initial version as a linked-list node per item, but we can optimise this in future by storing fatter nodes that permit a cache-line's worth of hashes to be checked at once,  further reducing the constant factor costs for lookups.
