Alright, so assuming we're looking for a slice of the grid against a
given time-frame, that would look something like:
get_range_slice(
keyspaceName,
ColumnParent(CFname, timeFrame),
SlicePredicate(
slice_range=SliceRange(xstart, xend, false, colCount)
),
ystart,
yend,
rowCount,
consistencyLevel,
)
Does that help?

The result will be a collection of KeySlices representing the key and
corresponding columns, (so yes).
