This is the rocksandra branch, https://github.com/Instagram/cassandra/tree/rocks_3.0, we develop it on top of Cassandra 3.0. It's the code we are running on our production servers.
We do want to contribute our work back to the Cassandra upstream, instead of keeping it as a fork. So that more users from C* community can benefit from the improvements. The pluggable storage engine is an ambitious project (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13474). Any help will be appreciated!
Yeah, for Rocksandra, we are able to use much smaller heap size, and most of the objects are recycled during the young gen GC.

Great App! How much time did you spend on writing the app?
