Binary Memtable¶

Binary Memtable is the name of Cassandra’s bulk-load interface. It avoids several kinds of overhead associated with the normal Thrift API, but is less friendly to use and has less of a guarantee of backward-compatibility from version to version.

An example usage can be found in contrib/client_only/ClientOnlyExample.java in the testWriting() method.
