Hi All, Well I got most everything working I wanted using Cassandra then discovered I needed to use an Order By. I am using Cassandra 1.2.5. The use of Order By requires Primary Key which appears to be only supported by by using CQL and not Cassandra-cli. So I dropped my table created uisng CLI and used CQL and was able to create a "Table". But when I went to insert data that worked fine on the cli created table I now get an exception: Error while inserting com.datastax.driver.core.exceptions.InvalidQueryException: Unknown identifier type.
I read that thrift clients will not work with CQL created tables due to extra things created by the CQL. If so how can I create Primary Keys and be supported by thrift based clients?? I will post to Datastax the same question but trying to understand how to resolve cli vs CQL issue like this. Seems like Cassandra-cli should support creation of compound primary keys or CQL should create tables readable by thrift based clients. Is there some meta column info people should add? Also CQL tables are not visible via cli.so I can not see details on what was created by CQL and the cqlsh script has errors according to the latest Python windows program I tried. Thanks, -Tony
