title: cassandra write throughput and scalability
body: <p>This may sound like a dumb question but still I wanted someone/expert to answer/confirm this.</p>
  
  <p>Lets say I have a 3 node cassandra cluster. Lets say I have one database and just one table. For this single table lets say I get a throughput of 1K writes/second with 3 node cassandra. If tomorrow my write load on this table increases/scales to 10K or 20K, will I be able to handle this write load by increasing the size of cluster by say 10x or 20x?</p>
  
  <p>My understanding of cassandra says it is possible (as cassandra is both read and write scalable) but would want an expert to confirm.</p>
