In theory, you should be able to do joins by creating an extra column in one column family, holding the "foreign key" of the matching row in the other family.
This assumes that the info you are joining on is available in both CFs (is not some sort of functional transformation). I have just found that the implementation for secondary indexes is not yet very close to optimal for more complex "joins" involving multiple indexes, I'm not sure if that affects you as you didn't say what you are joining on. -- Shaun On Feb 6, 2011, at 4:22 PM, Aaron Morton wrote: > Is it possible for you to dernormalise and write all the intersection values? > Will depend on how many I guess. > > The other alternative is to pull back more data that you need and the > intersection in code in the client. > > > Hope that helps. > Aaron > On 7/02/2011, at 7:11 AM, Aklin_81 <asdk...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> @buddhasystem : yes that's well known solution.
