Your physical storage can change, move etc. Therefore, it's a good idea to provide mapping of logical names to physical store points (which in fact can be many). This is a standard technique used in mass storage. -- View this message in context: http://cassandra-user-incubator-apache-org.3065146.n2.nabble.com/Using-Cassandra-to-store-files-tp5988698p5993357.html Sent from the cassandra-user@incubator.apache.org mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
