It wasn't that large a database if I remember -- maybe 1TB? The sstable sizes seemed reasonable at the time, I think it was just explosion due to json.

Anywhoo, one huge file is fine, what's not fine is having one huge json object -- streaming parsers might be ubiquitous in the XML world, but definitely not in json land. Something simple like small json documents separated by newlines would work.
