So far i've been working with just grabbing all the columns in a row or just getting a specific column that i know the name of. If it is possible, can anyone point me in the right direction of how to do this? I'm using 0.6.4 with the thrift interface in java, i use hector but i'd much prefer knowing how its done via thrift first :) thanks -- Best Regards, Chen Xinli
