As for indexes, cassandra supports columns as indexes (there is a property called some sort of "type" that can have the value "KEYS". Start your search in that direction (this is a feature from 0.7) introduce when you create dinamically columnfamilies and you declare its columns
On the other hand, if your application will use heavily cassandra i recommend making a calcularon of the data volumen that will handle and using a partition that is actually 3 to 5 times bigger. Doing so you will be able to play around with compactation strategy to avoid latency when your application is under heavy load. Hope this information is useful to you Regards, Javier canillas El 12/02/2011, a las 04:24, mcasandra <mohitanch...@gmail.com> escribió: > > Are indexes supported in Cassandra? If yes then what kind?
