"A common misunderstanding is that CQL does not support dynamic columns or wide rows. On the contrary, CQL was designed to support everything you can do with the Thrift model, but make it easier and more accessible." The sentence makes it clear that CQL must not "support" "dynamic columns", because it instead supports "everything you can do" with them. tl;dr : ------- If OP is asking if CQL3 supports actual "dynamic columns" as they existed in CQL2 and thrift, the answer is : "no". If OP is asking if one can use CQL3's E-A-V like scheme to achieve a similar [1] result, the answer is : "yes". =Rob [1] http://www.edwardcapriolo.com/roller/edwardcapriolo/entry/legacy_tables
