I was doing some testing with CQL and noticed something. I'm guessing it's probably user error on my part, but just in case it isn't.
If I execute a query like this, I get the following error "Caused by: InvalidRequestException(why:No indexed columns present in by-columns clause with "equals" operator)" select * from user_columnfamily where effectiveTime >= 1323203100182 The relevant parts of the exception thrown: me.prettyprint.hector.api.exceptions.HInvalidRequestException: InvalidRequestException(why:No indexed columns present in by-columns clause with "equals" operator) at me.prettyprint.cassandra.service.ExceptionsTranslatorImpl.translate(ExceptionsTranslatorImpl.java:50) at me.prettyprint.cassandra.model.CqlQuery$1.execute(CqlQuery.java:127) at me.prettyprint.cassandra.model.CqlQuery$1.execute(CqlQuery.java:94) at me.prettyprint.cassandra.service.Operation.executeAndSetResult(Operation.java:101) at me.prettyprint.cassandra.connection.HConnectionManager.operateWithFailover(HConnectionManager.java:232) at me.prettyprint.cassandra.model.ExecutingKeyspace.doExecuteOperation(ExecutingKeyspace.java:97) at me.prettyprint.cassandra.model.CqlQuery.execute(CqlQuery.java:93) If I change the query and add another filter with equal operator, it works fine. select * from user_columnfamily where effectiveTime >= 1323203100182 and firstName = 'bob' I'm assuming this is "as designed" in 0.8.x release. thanks peter
