Hello, When running that kind of query with TRACING ON; I noticed the coordinator is also performing multiple time the same query
Because the element in the IN statement can involve many nodes, it makes sense to map/reduce the query, but running multiple time the same sub query should not happen. What if the result set change? Let’s imagine that query : SELECT * FROM t WHERE key IN (123, 123, …. X1000, 123), and while this query runs, the data for 123 change? key | value -----+------- 123 | 456 123 | 456 123 | 456 123 | 789 <-- Change here ☹ 123 | 789 There’s also something very important: when your table define a tuple being unique for a specific key, this is a real problem to be able to have a result set having multiple time the same key, which should be unique. This is why on every SQL implementation, this is not happening I think this is a bug Edouard COLE De : Alain RODRIGUEZ [mailto:arodr...@gmail.com] Envoyé : Thursday, February 04, 2016 11:55 AM À : Edouard COLE Cc : user@cassandra.apache.org Objet : Re: Duplicated key with an IN statement Hi, This is interesting. It seems rational that if you are looking at 2 keys and both exist (which is the case) it returns you 2 keys, it. Yet, I just checked this kind of command on MySQL and it gives a one line result. So here CQL differs from SQL (at least MySQL). I know we are trying to fit as much as possible with SQL to avoid loosing people, so we might want to change this. Not sure if this behavior is intentional / known. Not even sure someone ever tried to do this kind of query actually :). Does anyone know about that ? Should we raise a ticket ? ----------------- Alain Rodriguez France The Last Pickle http://www.thelastpickle.com 2016-02-04 8:36 GMT+00:00 Edouard COLE <edouard.c...@rgsystem.com<mailto:edouard.c...@rgsystem.com>>: Hello, I just discovered this, and I think this is weird: ed@debian:~$ cqlsh 192.168.10.8 Connected to _CLUSTER_ at 192.168.10.8:9160<http://192.168.10.8:9160>.

(2 rows) Adding multiple time the same key into an IN statement make the query returns multiple time the tuple This looks weird to me, can anyone give me some feedback on such a behavior?
