Jeremiah Jordan commented on CASSANDRA-6477: -------------------------------------------- If you have the race, you may briefly see the other value, but its a race, and it would be just like you read before update #2 happened, so as long as the period of time where you can get the "wrong" data is small, it is ok. > Partitioned indexes > ------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-6477 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6477 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: API, Core > Reporter: Jonathan Ellis > Fix For: 3.0 > > > Local indexes are suitable for low-cardinality data, where spreading the > index across the cluster is a Good Thing. However, for high-cardinality > data, local indexes require querying most nodes in the cluster even if only a > handful of rows is returned. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
