Hi, I am trying to implement a custom partitioner that evenly distributes, yet preserves order.
The partitioner returns a token by BigInteger as RandomPartitioner does, while does a decorated key by string as OrderPreservingPartitioner does. * for now, since IPartitioner<T> does not support different types for token and key, BigInteger is simply converted to string Then, I played around with cassandra-cli. As expected, in my 3 nodes test cluster, get/set worked, but list(get_range_slices) didn't. This came from a challenge to overcome a wide row scalability. So, I want to make it work! I am aware that some efforts are required to make get_range_slices work. But are there any other critical problems? For example, it seems there is an assumption that token and key are the same. If this is throughout the whole C* code, this partitioner is not practical. Or have your tried something similar? I would appreciate your feedback! Thanks, Takenori
