The SSTable Output step writes to a filesystem directory as a Cassandra SSTable.

Option	Definition
Step name	The name of this step as it appears in the transformation workspace.
Cassandra yaml file	Location of yaml file. A cassandra.yaml file is the main configuration file for Cassandra and defines node and cluster configuration details.
Directory	Location to write the output to. This directory points to the target table to load to and must match the Keyspace field.
Keyspace	Name of the keyspace of the target table to load to. This name must match the Directory field.
Column family (table)	Name of the table to upload to. This assumes the metadata for this table was previously defined in Cassandra.
Incoming field to use as the row key	Allows you to select which incoming row to use as the row key. This drop-down box will be populated with the names of incoming transformation fields.
Buffer (MB)	The buffer size to use. A new table file is written every time the buffer is full.
