Do you think a composite key using a key type of Bytes would work?
How many bytes can it be?
public static byte [] createRowKey(int websiteid, long stamp)
throws Exception {
byte [] websiteidBytes = Bytes.toBytes(websiteid);
byte [] stampBytes = Bytes.toBytes(stamp);
return Bytes.add(websiteidBytes, stampBytes);
}
So say this key is used in a ColumnFamily that stores Articles for all
websites, using a key like this would allow me to get a range of
articles written, ordered by date, for a specific website correct?
