I was trying to get a range of rows based on a secondary_index that was defined. Any rows where age was greater than or equal to ... it didn't work. Is this a continued limitation? Did a quick look in JIRA, couldn't find anything.
The output from "help get;" on the cli contains the following, which led me to believe it was a limitation on Cassandra 0.7.x and not on 0.8.x ... get <cf> where <col> <operator> <value> [ and <col> <operator> <value> and ...] [limit <limit>]; get <cf> where <col> <operator> <function>(<value>) [ and <col> <operator> <function> and ...] [limit <limit>]; - operator: Operator to test the column value with. Supported operators are =, >, >=, <, <= . In Cassandra 0.7 at least one = operator must be present. [default@sdo] get user where age >= 18; No indexed columns present in index clause with operator EQ [default@sdo] get user where gender = 1 and age >= 18 (returns results) Tested this behavior on 0.8.2, 0.8.6 and now 0.8.7 ... create column family user with column_type = 'Standard' and comparator = 'UTF8Type' and default_validation_class = 'BytesType' and key_validation_class = 'BytesType' and memtable_operations = 0.24843749999999998 and memtable_throughput = 53 and memtable_flush_after = 1440 and rows_cached = 0.0 and row_cache_save_period = 0 and keys_cached = 200000.0 and key_cache_save_period = 14400 and read_repair_chance = 1.0 and gc_grace = 864000 and min_compaction_threshold = 4 and max_compaction_threshold = 32 and replicate_on_write = true and row_cache_provider = 'ConcurrentLinkedHashCacheProvider' and column_metadata = [ {column_name : 'gender', validation_class : LongType, index_name : 'user_gender_idx', index_type : 0}, {column_name : 'year', validation_class : LongType, index_name : 'user_year_idx', index_type : 0}]; -- Sasha Dolgy sasha.do...@gmail.com
