If you're interested in only checking part of a column's value, you can generally just store that part of the value in a different column. So, have an "email_addr" column and a "email_domain" column, which stores "aol.com", for example.
Then you can just use a secondary index on the "email_domain" column. - Tyler On Wed, Oct 6, 2010 at 10:33 AM, Brayton Thompson <thomp...@grnoc.iu.edu>wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Ok, I am VERY new to Cassandra and trying to get my head around its core > ideas. > > So lets say I have a CF of Users that contains all the info I would ever > want to know about them.
