Description

Some data in cassandra does not need durability on a single node. Also ec2 users often wish to disable the commitlog since they are using the ephemeral disks.

This patch let's you set bypass_commitlog=true in the CfMetaData, the effect being RowMutations on ColumnFamilies with this flag will bypass the commit log
