Well, depends on the size of your rows, keeping lists of 1mil+ column names will eventually become reeeeally slow (at least in ruby). > > This is useful because it is not always possible to increment or > decrement (depending on iteration order) a column name (for example, > in the case of byte strings, because there is no defined maximum > possible length so the lexicographically "previous" column name might > be infinitely long). You only ever need to decrement/increment by one and that should be pretty simple in almost all cases. Granted it was a little tricky for TimeUUID, but we are talking bytes here, so there really is only 0-255 +/- 1. If you are talking ASCII just trim that range down a little. /thomas
