I'm using thrift in C++ and inserting the results in a vector of pairs, so client-side-mangling does not seem to be the problem.
Also I'm using a "test" column where I insert the same value I'm using as super column name (in this case the same date converted to string) and when queried using cassandra cli is unsorted too: cassandra> get Events.EventsByUserDate ['guille'] => (super_column=9088542550893002752, (column=4342323443303834363833383437454339364433324530324538413039373736, value=2010-12-06 17:43:36.000, timestamp=1291657416526732)) => (super_column=5990347482238812160, (column=41414e4c6b54696d6532423656566e6869667a336f654b6147393d2d395a4e797441397a744f39686d3147392b406d61696c2e676d61696c2e636f6d, value=2010-12-06 17:46:08.000, timestamp=1291657568569039)) => (super_column=-3089190841516818432, (column=3634343644353236463830303437363542454245354630343845393533373337, value=2010-12-06 17:44:47.000, timestamp=1291657487450738)) => (super_column=-4026221038986592256, (column=62303232396330372d636430612d343662332d623834382d393632366136323061376532, value=2010-12-06 17:39:50.000, timestamp=1291657190117981)) On Mon, Dec 6, 2010 at 3:02 PM, Tyler Hobbs <ty...@riptano.com> wrote: > What client are you using?
