In Cassandra Wiki, it is said that there is a limit of 2 billion cells (rows x columns)
per partition. But it is unclear to me what is a partition?
Do we have one partition per node per column family, which would mean that the max size of a column family would be 2 billion cells * number of nodes
in the cluster.
Or will Cassandra create as much partitions as required to store all the data of a column family?
I am starting a new project so I will use Cassandra 2.0.
