             Summary: Allow partition scan, querying cluster keys out of order
                 Key: CASSANDRA-15911
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-15911
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Tri Nguyen


 

On the following table
{code:java}
CREATE TABLE actors_by_video (
   video_id TIMEUUID,
   actor_name TEXT,
   character_name TEXT,
   PRIMARY KEY ((video_id), actor_name, character_name)
);{code}
 

The query

 
{code:java}
SELECT * FROM actors_by_video
WHERE video_id = 1234abcd-1111-2222-3333-aaaabbbbcccc
AND character_name = 'The PK Father';{code}
 

fails with the following error:
{color:#de350b}InvalidRequest: Error from server: code=2200 [Invalid query] 
message="PRIMARY KEY column "character_name" cannot be restricted as preceding 
column "actor_name" is not restricted {color}

*QUESTION:*

Let's assume this is a query which doesn't occur frequently, so it is not worth 
to create a new table with the proper Primary Key. However, because the scope 
of the query is limited within ONE SINGLE partition key. I am willing to accept 
the performance penalty incurred for that "partition scan".

Would it be possible to allow CQL to allow this query, in a similar fastion 
than "ALLOW FILTERING" ? But here, to denote a scan within a partition, maybe 
can we name it "ALLOW PARTITION FILTERING" ?
