Since I have around 20 items to query, I guess making 20 queries to retrieve activities by all followies on all of those 20 columns would too inefficient, so to take the advantage of more efficient queries, are supercolumns recommended for this case ? Anyways, in case I use supercolumns, I need to retrieve the entire supercolumn at any point of time & I am writing subcolumn(s) to the supercolumn at different times not at once.
