Cassandra's default is to store the rows randomly (using a hash of the
key), so there isn't a way of retrieving the keys that match some filter
without iterating through all of them. There are some things you can do,
like use an ordered partitioner to store the rows in order, but that is not
recommended because you wont get even distribution throughout our cluster.
I think your best bet though is just use the master_id for your row key,
and then use composite columns that begin with the client_id.
