Hi all, Apologies if I'm still stuck in RDBMS mentality - first project using Cassandra!
I'll be using Cassandra to store quite a lot (10s of millions) of records, each of which has a type. I'll want to query the records to get all of a certain type; it's an analagous situation to the TaggedPosts schema from Arin's blog post ( http://arin.me/blog/wtf-is-a-supercolumn-cassandra-data-model). The thing is, each type (or tag) row key will be pointing at millions of records. I know I can use multiget_slice with all those record IDs as one request, but is this The Right Way of "filtering" a large column family by type? Coming from an RDBMS-ingrained mindset, it seems kind of awkward... Thanks! James
