title: How does Cassandra handle the case of hash collision of the token function
body: <p>Considering three rows, (a, b), (a, f) and (c, e).</p>
  <p>Sadly, under some flake partitioning algorithm, the partition key value <code>a</code> and <code>c</code> hashes to the same value.</p>
  <p>In this case, how does Cassandra internally order the rows?</p>
  <p>Will it be in:</p>
  <pre><code>(a,b)
  (a,f)
  (c,e)
  </code></pre>
  <p>or in</p>
  <pre><code>(a, b)
  (c, e)
  (a, f)
  </code></pre>
