Hi all,
I've red all your messages concerning the top 10 ... any solution is possibile 
but I still did not find the best one.

Using a composite Column Name as suggested would be smart cause it brings to a 
sorted row where I can have my top-10 in any moment but it can slow down all 
the platform since, for every operation, I have to read data from cassandra, 
calculate and store data back. Using counters I could just say "hey, +1 on 
this" and forget. But using counters I don't have any kind of value-sorting ...

I know redis but I think it's too much to use a new key-value db just for this 
sorting ... I think I'll use a thread that run every X to generate the top10 
row ... it won't be realtime but at least it will keep platform performance to 
a good level.

Thank you all and merry christmas
