I have lots of indexes on columns with the same name. Why don't I have this
problem?

For example:

Keyspace: City:
  Replication Strategy: org.apache.cassandra.locator.SimpleStrategy
    Replication Factor: 3
  Column Families:
    ColumnFamily: AttractionCheckins
      Columns sorted by: org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.UTF8Type
      Row cache size / save period: 0.0/0
      Key cache size / save period: 0.1/14400
      Memtable thresholds: 0.3/64/60
      GC grace seconds: 864000
      Compaction min/max thresholds: 4/64
      Read repair chance: 0.01
      Column Metadata:
        Column Name: 09partition (09partition)
          Validation Class: org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.UTF8Type
          Index Type: KEYS
    ColumnFamily: Attractions
      Columns sorted by: org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.UTF8Type
      Row cache size / save period: 30000.0/14400
      Key cache size / save period: 30000.0/14400
      Memtable thresholds: 0.3/64/60
      GC grace seconds: 864000
      Compaction min/max thresholds: 4/64
      Read repair chance: 0.01
      Column Metadata:
        Column Name: 09partition (09partition)
          Validation Class: org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.UTF8Type
          Index Type: KEYS
    ColumnFamily: CityResources
      Columns sorted by: org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.UTF8Type
      Row cache size / save period: 5000.0/14400
      Key cache size / save period: 5000.0/14400
      Memtable thresholds: 0.3/64/60
      GC grace seconds: 864000
      Compaction min/max thresholds: 4/64
      Read repair chance: 0.01
      Column Metadata:
        Column Name: 09partition (09partition)
          Validation Class: org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.UTF8Type
          Index Type: KEYS
