So am I to keep track on the # of columns for a given key in CF WebsiteArticle? i.e. if I want to do a get_slice for the first 10 OR last 10 (I would need to know the count to get the last 10).
>>Am assuming RP. There are some recommendations on the number of cols per key, in the millions I think I can never >>find it when I want it. So I would have to potentially split the columns to another key then correct? i.e. website_id1, website_id1-2 On Thu, Jul 15, 2010 at 8:17 PM, Aaron Morton <aa...@thelastpickle.com>wrote: > You could build a secondary index, e.g. > > CF > Articles : { > article_id1 : {} > article_id2 : {} > } > > CF > WebsiteArticle : { > website_id1 : { time_uuid : article_id1, time_uuid2 : article_id2} > } > > when you want to get the last 10 for a website, get_slice from the > WebsiteArticle CF then multi get from Articles. > > Am assuming RP.
