You can page yourself using the withColumnRange method (see the slice query
example on the page you linked to). What you do is that you save the last
column you got from the previous query, and you set that as the start of
the range you pass to withColumnRange. You don't need to set an end of a
range, but you want to set a max size.
This code is just a quick rewrite from the page you linked to and I haven't
checked that it worked, but it should give you an idea of where to start
ColumnList<String> result;
int pageSize = 100;
String offset = Character.toString('\0');
while (true) {
result = keyspace.prepareQuery(CF_STANDARD1)
.getKey(rowKey)
.withColumnRange(new
RangeBuilder().setStart(offset).setMaxSize(pageSize).build())
.execute().getResult();
while (result.hasNext()) {
Column<String> col = result.next();
// do something with your column here, then save
// the last column to use as the offset when loading the next page
offset = col.getStringValue();
} while (result.size() == pageSize);
I'm using a string with a null byte as the first offset because that should
sort before all strings, but there might be a better way of doing. If you
have non-string columns or composite columns the exact way to do this is a
bit different but I hope this shows you the general idea.
