Hello,

Composite keys are always good  and model looks clean to me. Run pilot with 
around 10 GB or more data and compare it with RDBMS and make changes 
accordingly.

Thanks and Regards

Subject: DataModel Question

Hi -  We are designing a Cassandra based storage for the following use cases-


*         Store SMS messages

*         Store MMS messages

*         Store Chat history

What would be the ideal was to design the data model for this kind of 
application ? I am thinking on these lines ..

Row-Key :  Composite key [ PhoneNum : Day]


*         Example:   19876543456:05022013

Dynamic Column Families


*         Composite column key for SMS [SMS:MessageId:TimeUUID]

*         Composite column key for MMS [MMS:MessageId:TimeUUID]

*         Composite column key for user I am chatting with 
[UserId:198765432345] - This can have multiple values since each chat conv can 
have many messages. Should this be a super column ?


19866666666:05022013

SMS:xxxx:ttttttt

SMS:xxx12:ttttttt

MMS:xxxx:ttttttt

XXXX:1933333333

19877777777:05022013









19878888888:05022013











Thanks,
Kanwar
