Wide rows does not work well if you start getting past 10,000,000 columns though so be very very careful there. PlayOrm does some wide row indices for us and each row length is as large as the number of rows in a partition so without playorm you could do partitioning yourself by the way….It's as simple as store every row and add to the partitions index.

If you add timestamp to your column name you have naturally sorted data. You can easily select any time range without any indexes.
