Hi,
As documented in the http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/API, the key range for get_range_slices are both inclusive. As discussed in this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/jassandra-user/browse_thread/thread/c2e56453c de067d3, there is a case that user want to discover all keys (huge number) in a column family. What I think is doing batchly: using empty string as start and finish first, then using the last key returned as start and query second. My question is: using this method, the last key returned for the first query, will be returned again in the second query as the first key. And it's a duplication. Is there any other API to discover keys without duplications in current implementation? Thanks, Regards, Dop
