title: Is Cassandra database row size limited by available memory?
body: <p>I'm working with very long time series -- hundreds of millions of data points in one series -- and am considering Cassandra as a data store. In <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2212279/cassandra-time-series-data">this question</a>, one of the Cassandra committers (the über helpful <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/130168/jbellis">jbellis</a>) says that Cassandra rows can be very large, and that column slicing operations are faster than row slices, hence my question: Is the row size <a href="http://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/b0c1d8d60372894b6c6443bfaf9a32949e4ffc0e/BUGS.txt" rel="nofollow noreferrer">still limited</a> by available memory?</p>
