Hi! I have couple of questions regarding your model: 1. What Cassandra version are you using? I am still working with 1.0 and this seems to make sense, but 1.2 gives you much more power I think. 2. Maybe I don't understand your model, but I think you need DynamicComposite columns, as user columns are different in number of components and maybe type. 3. How do you associate between the SMS or MMS and the user you are chating with. Is it done by a separate CF?
