Yeah i know about that, but the definition i have is for a cluster that is started/stopped from a unit test with hector embeddedServerHelper, which takes definitions from the yaml. So i'd still like to define the index in the yaml file (it should very well be possible I guess)

Cassandra will not load these definitions during startup. See http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/FAQ#no_keyspaces for an explanation." So you should make all schema-related operation via Thrift/AVRO API, or you can use Cassandra CLI. Augi 2011/2/15 Roland Gude <roland.g...@yoochoose.com<mailto:roland.g...@yoochoose.com>> Hi, i am a little puzzled on creation of secondary indexes and the docs in that area are still very sparse. What I am trying to do is - in a columnfamily with TimeUUID comparator, I want the "special" timeuuid 00000000-0000-1000-0000-000000000000 to be indexed. The value being some UTF8 string on which I want to perform equality checks. What do I need to put in my cassandra.yaml file? Something like this? - column_metadata: [{name: 00000000-0000-1000-0000-000000000000, validation_class: UTF8Type, index_name: MyIndex, index_type: KEYS}] This gives me that error: 15:05:12.492 [pool-1-thread-1] ERROR o.a.c.config.DatabaseDescriptor - Fatal error: null; Can't construct a java object for tag:yaml.org<http://yaml.org>,2002:org.apache.cassandra.config.Config; exception=Cannot create property=keyspaces for JavaBean=org.apache.cassandra.config.Config@7eb6e2; Cannot create property=column_families for JavaBean=org.apache.cassandra.config.RawKeyspace@987a33; Cannot create property=column_metadata for JavaBean=org.apache.cassandra.config.RawColumnFamily@716cb7; Cannot create property=validation_class for JavaBean=org.apache.cassandra.config.RawColumnDefinition@e29820; Unable to find property 'validation_class' on class: org.apache.cassandra.config.RawColumnDefinition Bad configuration; unable to start server I am furthermor uncertain if the column name will be correctly used if given like this. Should I put the byte representation of the uuid there?
