Hi,
You cannot query using a field that is not indexed in CQL. You have to
create either secondary index or create index tables and manage those
indexes by yourself and query using those. Since those keys are of high
cardinality, usually the recommendation for this kind of use cases is that
you create several tables with all the data.
1) A table with employee_id as the primary key.
2) A table with last_modified_at as the primary key (use case 2)
3) A table with employee_name as the primary key (your test query with
employee_name 'e27' and use cases 1 & 3.)
Then you populate all those tables with your data and then you use those
tables depending on the query.
Cheers,
Hannu
