The reason I didn't go into more fine grained detail regarding typical requirements for cf's, c's and sc's is that webpage data can change quite substantially between pages, hosts, etc. Some context here. We recently introduced a whole series of new serializer options in Apache Gora gora-cassandra module 0.2.1 [0] however I seem to be having problems populating Cassandra with certain super column fields when mapping from webpages to super columns. I'm trying to determine if each field (for the webpage --> cassandra mapping) is correctly configured to store and retrieve the data efficiently. Thanks for your comments, I'll go away and have a more thorough think + test various configs in an attempt to find a best option. Thanks Lewis [0] http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/gora/trunk/gora-cassandra/src/main/java/org/apache/gora/cassandra/serializers/
