Thanks Jeff for your response ,and apologies for such a delayed response , had some personal emergency.
So Following the config which we are using for that table PRIMARY KEY ((customer_app_prefix, customer_session_id), beacon_client_type, sim_created_at) ) WITH CLUSTERING ORDER BY (beacon_client_type ASC, sim_created_at DESC) AND bloom_filter_fp_chance = 0.01 AND caching = {'keys': 'ALL', 'rows_per_partition': 'NONE'} AND comment = '' AND compaction = {'class': 'org.apache.cassandra.db.compaction.DateTieredCompactionStrategy', 'max_threshold': '32', 'min_threshold': '4'} AND compression = {'chunk_length_in_kb': '64', 'class': 'org.apache.cassandra.io.compress.LZ4Compressor'} AND crc_check_chance = 1.0 AND dclocal_read_repair_chance = 0.1 AND default_time_to_live = 0 AND gc_grace_seconds = 864000 AND max_index_interval = 2048 AND memtable_flush_period_in_ms = 0 AND min_index_interval = 128 AND read_repair_chance = 0.0 AND speculative_retry = '99PERCENTILE'; I didn't get the part *"are you using milliseconds or microseconds in your writes?" *, did you mean for the timestamp column in Primary Key , for that we using milliseconds .
