columns are serialized as composites (note that there is no real format change, this is mostly a marker to know if we should expect super columns or not. We do need a major version bump however, because we should not allow streaming of super columns into this new format) • tracks max local deletiontime in sstable metadata • records bloom_filter_fp_chance in metadata component • remove data size and column count from data file (CASSANDRA-4180) • tracks max/min column values (according to comparator) •jb (2.0.1): • switch from crc32 to adler32 for compression checksums • checksum the compressed data •ka (2.1.0): • new Statistics.db file format • index summaries can be downsampled and the sampling level is persisted • switch uncompressed checksums to adler32 • tracks presense of legacy (local and remote) counter shards •la (2.2.0): new file name format •lb (2.2.7): commit log lower bound included Version 3 •ma (3.0.0): • swap bf hash order • store rows natively •mb (3.0.7, 3.7): commit log lower bound included •mc (3.0.8, 3.9): commit log intervals included •md (3.0.18, 3.11.4): corrected sstable min/max clustering •me (3.0.25, 3.11.11): added hostId of the node from which the sstable originated Version 4 •na (4.0-rc1): uncompressed chunks, pending repair session, isTransient, checksummed sstable metadata file, new Bloomfilter format •nb (4.0.0): originating host id
