Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-1339:
-------------------------------------------
bq. It's hard to think of a use case for which token order would be useful for
GT[E] queries
Nevertheless we should keep column-ordering on result sets for CASSANDRA-1599
> add support for GT, GTE index expressions

> Key: CASSANDRA-1339
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1339
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: API
> Reporter: Jonathan Ellis
> Fix For: 0.7.1

> this will require hitting every node in the cluster and merging results,
> unlike with EQ.
> For instance, say we have the following index rows for some hypothetical
> column C1:
> Node 1, ('' - M]
> 4: A G K
> 5: B F J M
> Node 2, (M - '']
> 4: N P X
> 5: Q R T
> Because we store the index columns sorted in partitioner order, queries for
> C1=4 can scan first node 1, then if insufficient data is found, proceed to
> node 2. But for GT or GTE queries we have to scan everyone and merge.
> (Since we don't know what the next value after 4 is. So an alternative would
> be for each node to send back, along with the data for the first row, the row
> key that comes next. This would be very very messy.)
> Note that since we don't yet support range scans backwards, we can't support
> LT or LTE queries. The easiest workaround there would be to add a way to
> specify that you want to create an index on the comparator, reversed. This
> is also worth doing for optimizations within normal columns -- see
> CASSANDRA-1338.
