We are streaming data with 1 stream per 1 CF and we have 1000's of CF. When using the tools they are all geared to analyzing ONE column family at a time :(. If I remember correctly, Cassandra supports as many CF's as you want, correct? Even though I am going to have tons of funs with limitations on the tools, correct?
(I may end up wrapping the node tool with my own aggregate calls if needed to sum up multiple column families and such). Thanks, Dean
