Hi I am new to to Cassandra and we started with 1.1 and modeled everything with Composite columns and wide rows and chose CQL 3 even if it is beta. Since I could not find a way in Hector to set CQL 3, I started with Thrift and prototyped all my scenarios with Thrift including retrieving all row keys (without CQL). Recently I saw a JDBC driver for 1.1.1 and it is so promising (slightly slower than thrift in most of my scenarios). Apparently JDBC "will be" the ultimate Java API for Cassandra, so the question is:
Since there is no distinct clause in CQL 3, is there a way to retrieve all row keys "with JDBC" without browsing all columns of the CF (and make it distinct yourself) ? Thanks Shahryar Sedghi -- "Life is what happens while you are making other plans." ~ John Lennon
