Jonathan, Thanks again for the reply, good to know. Do you have a 'best practices' suggestion on how I could map objects (currently row per object, column per property) while meeting the following 2 requirements: -Able to do the range scan on an object property, a time stamp, that is not unique, and each object's timestamp is updated every O(10) seconds -Able to do secondary index queries (EQ) on other object properties
Thanks!
