We are using the cassandra thrift interface to interact with Cassandra. In our use case, we store time-series data with one column per day (per row-key) , and we have a fixed number of column families to store data over time. Since we have data for hundreds of days, we cannot create column-families for individual time-ranges easily ( if that's what you're suggesting). Is there another way we can achieve what we intend to do ?
