Well, not sure how parallel is multiget. Someone is saying it's in parallel sending requests to the different nodes and on each node it's executed sequentially. I didn't bother looking into the source code yet. Anyone knows it for sure?
I am using Hector, just copied the thrift definition from Cassandra site for reference. You are right, the count is for each individual row.

Also, something looks wrong, since you have list<binary> keys, I would expect the Map to be Map<binary, list<ColumnOrSuperColumn>> Are you sure you have that correct? IF you set range to 100, it should be 100 columns each row but it never hurts to run the code and verify.

I suppose start and end will apply to each individual row. How about range, is it a accumulative column count of all the rows or to the individual row? If I set range to 100, is it 100 columns per row, or total? Thanks for you reply, -Wei multiget_slice * map<string,list<ColumnOrSuperColumn>> multiget_slice(list<binary> keys, ColumnParent column_parent, SlicePredicate predicate, ConsistencyLevel consistency_level)
