Generally no. But yes if retrieving the key through index is faster than going through the hash buckets.
Currently I am thinking there could be 100s of million or billion of rows and in that case if we have to retrieve a row which one will be fast going through hash bucket or index? I am thinking in such scenario Index would be faster. Please help me understand where I am going wrong. Some example will be helpful. -- View this message in context: http://cassandra-user-incubator-apache-org.3065146.n2.nabble.com/Understanding-Indexes-tp6058238p6061197.html Sent from the cassandra-u...@incubator.apache.org mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
