My best guess from looking at the code (I haven't tested it) is that it will try to fulfil the request on the "wrong" kind of CF, but I don't think it actually handles that case correctly. If you could verify that there is a bug here and file a JIRA ticket if so, that would be helpful. :) > Also, is there no get_slice_super_since and get_slice_super_by_name_range? Right -- currently supercolumns are always name-sorted, and their subcolumns are always time-sorted. -Jonathan
