Hi,
I am using Casandra 0.7 trunk (r997357) and am having issues with a
secondary index.
I have a ColumnFamily with a secondary index on column "X". Not every row of
data has column X. It looks like when I write a row that does not have
column X, Cassandra throws the following NPE when it writes the index:
ERROR 20:05:37,015 Uncaught exception in thread

This doesn't necessarily happen as soon as the row is written; it happens
after you write enough rows, or after a restart of the server when the
commitlog is replayed.
Is it the case that indexed columns must exist?
Thanks
Colin
