Benjamin I quite agree to you, but what in case of duplicate usernames,
suppose if I am not using unique names as in email id's . If we have
duplicacy in usernames we cannot use it for key, so what should be the
solution. I think keeping incremental numeric id as key and keeping the name
and value same in the column family.
Example :
User1 has password as 123456
Cassandra structure :
1 as key
user1 - column name
value - user1
123456 - column name
value - 123456
I m thinking of doing it this way for my applicaton, this way i can run
different sorts of queries too. Any feedback on this is welcome.
