Either I am not explaning properly or I don't understand the data model just
yet. Please check again:
In below example this is what I understand:
1) UserProfile is a CF
2) 1111 is a row key
3) username is a column. Each row (eg 1111) has username column
My understanding is that secondary indexes can be created only on column
value. Which means I can create secondary index only on username, email etc.
not on 1111. 1111 is the row key, but you keep saying that I need secondary
index, but I am actually asking about index on the row key.
Is my understanding incorrect about this?
> UserProfile = { // this is a ColumnFamily
> 1111 { // this is the key to this Row inside the CF
> // now we have an infinite # of columns in this row
> username: "phatduckk",
> email: "[hidden email]",
> phone: "(900) 976-6666"
> }, // end row
> 2222 { // this is the key to another row in the CF
> // now we have another infinite # of columns in this row
> username: "ieure",
> email: "[hidden email]",
> phone: "(888) 555-1212"
> age: "66",
> gender: "undecided"
> },
> }
