I can append timeuuid on every update and resolve conflicts on read to support time series data on last-modified-time.
Ex: -- ExampleCF | -- SomeKey = Key | -- TimeUUIDNew = Column-Name | -- PKID = Column-Value ...... | -- TimeUUIDOld = Column-Name | -- PKID = Column-Value But how to GC TimeUUIDOld? One solution is to book-keep this info in a CleanupCF to periodically sweep all old data. Ex: -- ExampleCF | -- SomeKey = Key | -- TimeUUID = Column-Name | -- PKID = Column-Value -- ExampleReverseIndexCF | -- <SomeKey> = Key | -- PKID+TimeUUID = Composite Column-Name | -- Null = Column-Value -- CleanupCF | -- Schedule-Cleanup-Task-Id = Key | -- <Some-Key>+PKID = Composite Column-Name | -- Null = Column-Value Will this approach work? Are there other elegant solutions for this problem of maintaining time-series data for last-modified-time? -- Ravi On Fri, Dec 21, 2012 at 11:07 PM, Andrey Ilinykh <ailin...@gmail.com> wrote: > You can select a column slice (specify time range wich for sure has last > data), but ask cassandra to return only one column.
