Uh... don't create a column family per user. Column families are meant to be fairly static; conceptually equivalent to a table in a relational database. Why do you need (or even want) a CF per user? Reconsider your data model, a single column family with an inverted index for a 'user' column is probably more what you are looking for. Operationally, the fewer CFs the better.
Dan From: Alejandro Perez [mailto:sp...@indextank.com] Sent: April-15-11 16:39 To: user@cassandra.apache.org Cc: Support Subject: Schemas diverging while dynamically creating CF. Hello, We're testing cassandra for integration with indextank. In this first try, we're creating one column family for each user. In practice, on the first run and for the first few documents (a few 100s), a new CF is created, and a document is immediately added to it. A few (up to 50) requests of this type are issued in parallel (for different column families). The end result, and quite repeatable, is having the cluster split with different schema versions, and they never agree. Any thoughts?
