hi there, was playing around today and had a simple CF with sample user data with the following columns:
| email | name | nickname | >From the cassandra-cli I ran the following: update column family user with column_metadata=[{column_name: nickname, validation_class: UTF8Type,index_type: KEYS}, {column_name: email, validation_class: UTF8Type, index_type: KEYS}]; Subsequently, when I tried with an index clause to retrieve the rows that matched my email address (only 1) it returned no results. It was only after I performed the following from the cassandra-cli: set user ['some-random-key']['email'] = 'my@email.address'; That it worked. Is this normal behaviour? In that, I should clearly define which columns I want indexed prior to data population? Thanks in advance, -sd -- Sasha Dolgy sasha.do...@gmail.com
