I have a follow on question on this. I have a super column family like this:
<ColumnFamily Name="EventSpace" CompareWith="TimeUUIDType" CompareSubcolumnsWith="BytesType" ColumnType="Super"/> I store some events keyed by a subscriber id, and for each such "row", I have a number of super columns which are keyed by an event time stamp. For example: subscriber1 { ts11 { some columns} ts12 { some columns} .... ts1n { some columns} } subscriber2 { ts21 {...} ... } and so on. What I want to do is to find all events within a period (given T, the period starts from time (T-1 min) to (T+1 min)) for each subscriber, given the subscriber ID and the starting time T. I used this piece of code: SlicePredicate sliceP = new SlicePredicate(); SliceRange range = new SliceRange(); range.setStart(getUUIDForTimeStamp(T-1)); range.setStart(getUUIDForTimeStamp(T+1)); sliceP.setSlice_range(range); ColumnParent parent = new ColumnParent(CF_NAME); List<ColumnOrSuperColumn> result = client.get_sllice(KS, subscriberID, parent, slieceP, ConsistencyLevel.ALL); I've helper routines to add/subtract minutes/hours/seconds to a time stamp, and converting that to UUID and back. But is the approach correct?
