Hi,
You could split it into multiple columns on the client side: RowKeyData: Part1: [1mb], Part2: [1mb], Part3: [1mb]...PartN[1mb] Now you can use multiple get() in parallell to get the files back and then join them back to one file. I _think_ maybe the new CQL3-protocol does not have the same limitation, but I have never tried large columns there, so someone with more experience than me will have to confirm this. .vegard, ----- Original Message ----- From: user@cassandra.apache.org To: Cc: Sent:Mon, 21 Jan 2013 11:16:40 -0200 Subject:How to store large columns? We wish to store a column in a row with size larger than thrift_framed_transport_size_in_mb. But, Thrift has a maximum frame size configured by thrift_framed_transport_size_in_mb in cassandra.yaml. so, How to store columns with size larger than thrift_framed_transport_size_in_mb? Increasing this value does not solve the problem, since we have columns with varying sizes. -- Atenciosamente, Sávio S.
