Hello Jonathan,

I supposed the same, that's why I tried the count_columns() call, but when I 
try it with some big SCF, I get the same error message:

Thrift::TransportException: Socket: Timed out reading 4096 bytes from 
127.0.0.1:9160

Should I use count_columns() or is there any other way to know how much columns 
exists?

Best regards
