Hello, The trick with this data model is to get to partition based, and/or cluster based access pattern so C* returns results quickly. In C* you want to model your tables based on your query access patterns and remember that writes are cheap and fast in C*.
So, try something like the following: 1 Table with a Partition Key = Tag String Tag String = "Tag" or "set of Tags" Cluster based on tag combination (probably desc order) This will allow you to select any combination that includes Tag or "set of Tags" This will duplicate data as you will store 1 tag combination in every Tag partition, i.e. if a tag combination has 2 parts, then you will have 2 rows Hope this helps.
