-------------------------------------------

You're right, can't really generalize this...  still worth special casing batchlog probably.

> With memcache many people are willing to sacrifice durability for performance. Cassandra has a TimeToLive feature that can be used in caching scenarios with low values for gc_grace_seconds. However from a code dive it seems that cassandra will always write TTL to disk, even those that are beyond gc_grace_seconds. If a use case very large memtables,small ttl, and small gc_grace it is possible that flushing these columns to disk can be skipped entirely in some scenarios.
