Jonathan,
Thanks again for the reply, good to know. Do you have a 'best
practices' suggestion on how I could map objects (currently row per
object, column per property) while meeting the following 2
requirements:
-Able to do the range scan on an object property, a time stamp, that
is not unique, and each object's timestamp is updated every O(10)
seconds
-Able to do secondary index queries (EQ) on other object properties
Thanks!
David
