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.

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 ________________________________ NOTE: This message may contain information that is confidential, proprietary, privileged or otherwise protected by law.
