## org.apache.cassandra.io.sstable
Class SSTableSimpleWriter

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.cassandra.io.sstable.AbstractSSTableSimpleWriter
          org.apache.cassandra.io.sstable.SSTableSimpleWriter

    public class SSTableSimpleWriter

extends AbstractSSTableSimpleWriter

A SSTable writer that assumes rows are in (partitioner) sorted order. Contrarily to SSTableSimpleUnsortedWriter, this writer does not buffer anything into memory, however it assumes that row are added in sorted order (an exception will be thrown otherwise), which for the RandomPartitioner means that rows should be added by increasing md5 of the row key. This is rarely possible and SSTableSimpleUnsortedWriter should most of the time be prefered.

  Parameters:
    `directory` - the directory where to write the sstable
    `keyspace` - the keyspace name
    `columnFamily` - the column family name
    `comparator` - the column family comparator
    `subComparator` - the column family subComparator or null if not a Super column family.
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`

Method Detail

### close

    public void close()
               throws java.io.IOException

  Description copied from class: `AbstractSSTableSimpleWriter`

  Specified by:
    `close` in class `AbstractSSTableSimpleWriter`
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`

### writeRow

    protected void writeRow(DecoratedKey key,
                            ColumnFamily columnFamily)
                     throws java.io.IOException

  Specified by:
    `writeRow` in class `AbstractSSTableSimpleWriter`
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`

### getColumnFamily

    protected ColumnFamily getColumnFamily()

  Specified by:
    `getColumnFamily` in class `AbstractSSTableSimpleWriter`
