That's a good question. I just went to a class, Ben was saying that any action on a super column requires de-re-serialization. But, it would be nice if a write had this sort of efficiency.
I have been playing with the 1.1.1 version, in that one there are 'composite' columns, which I think are like super columns, but they don't require serialization and deserialization. However, there seems to be a catch. You can't 'invent' columns on the fly, everything has to be declared when you declare the column family. ---greg On Wed, Jun 13, 2012 at 6:52 PM, Oleg Dulin <oleg.du...@gmail.com> wrote: > Does a write to a sub column involve deserialization of the entire super > column ? > > Thanks, > Oleg >
