in your implementation, is the comment still sorted by TIME? Will UTF8Type sort :author by time? thanks, -aj On Mon, May 10, 2010 at 5:02 PM, Mike Malone wrote: > On Mon, May 10, 2010 at 4:31 PM, AJ Chen wrote: > >> supercolumn is good for modeling profile type of data. simpl

just to correct myself: to sort timeUUID on column in descending order, sliceRange.setReversed(true) does the trick. -aj On Sun, May 9, 2010 at 9:07 AM, AJ Chen wrote: > true, i think. > but don't rush to OrderPreservingPartitioners. it may be better to create > another key CF f

I have a column family for sorting time-uuid and expect to retrieve columns in descending order (i.e. latest on the top). but the following get_slice call returns column in ascending order. Does cassandra sort time-uuid column in descending order by default? Should get_slice call return the most r

key is sorted?

2010-05-07 Thread AJ Chen
I have a super column family for "topic", key being the name of the topic. When I retrieve the rows, the rows are not sorted by the key. Is the row key sorted in cassandra by default? -aj -- AJ Chen, PhD Chair, Semantic Web SIG, sdforum.org http://web2express.org twitter @web2express

cassandra data viewer?

Is there a generic GUI tool for viewing cassandra datastore? being able to view and edit data from a GUI tool like oracle sqldeveloper is very useful. -aj

how to paginate through CF

2010-04-04 Thread AJ Chen
Pagination is be numbers, e.g. get 10 rows starting from number 100 or getRows(100, 10). Column family uses KeyRange to get a section of the table. This assumes the key is always sorted. Is it true? Secondly, the key normally a string. How do you translate the starting row number to a string key?

best practice for migrating data
