Stu Hood commented on CASSANDRA-749:
------------------------------------

> "maybe it had the columns requested, maybe not, but it didn't match your 
> where clause"
I'm not talking about looking at values here: just keys/names. So the only 
question that query is answering is "did this column key/name exist with these 
parents".

The _only_ way to query values with the API I proposed is to create a view by 
the value.

> "my system lets me do queries that are slow" is NOT a complaint most people 
> have about sql
I disagree, but perhaps we misunderstood eachother on that first point.

----

Are there any alternatives to 'null rows', that aren't as awkward? Essentially, 
what a user is supposed to understand is: "the database had to scan 100 null 
rows for every 1 that it returned"
