Ok. I am able to understand the problem now. Issue is:
If i create a column family altercations as: **********************************************************************************************************8 CREATE TABLE altercations ( instigator text, started_at timestamp, ships_destroyed int, energy_used float, alliance_involvement boolean, PRIMARY KEY (instigator,started_at,ships_destroyed) ); / INSERT INTO altercations (instigator, started_at, ships_destroyed, energy_used, alliance_involvement) VALUES ('Jayne Cobb', '2012-07-23', 2, 4.6, 'false'); ********************************************************************************************************************* It works! But if i create a column family with compound primary key with 2 composite column as: ********************************************************************************************************************* CREATE TABLE altercations ( instigator text, started_at timestamp, ships_destroyed int, energy_used float, alliance_involvement boolean, PRIMARY KEY (instigator,started_at) ); ********************************************************************************************************************* and Then drop this column family: ********************************************************************************************************************* drop columnfamily altercations; ********************************************************************************************************************* and then try to create same one with primary compound key with 3 composite column: ********************************************************************************************************************* CREATE TABLE altercations ( instigator text, started_at timestamp, ships_destroyed int, energy_used float, alliance_involvement boolean, PRIMARY KEY (instigator,started_at,ships_destroyed) ); ********************************************************************************************************************* it gives me error: "TSocket read 0 bytes" Rest, as no column family is created, so nothing onwards will work. Is this an issue? -Vivek ________________________________ From: Jonathan Ellis <jbel...@gmail.com> To: dev@cassandra.apache.org; Vivek Mishra <vivek.mis...@yahoo.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 9, 2012 9:08 AM Subject: Re: Compund/Composite column names Works for me on latest 1.1 in cql3 mode. cql2 mode gives a parse error.
