Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-2878: ------------------------------------------- bq. i do have a upcoming usecase where a basic combination would be useful: m/r over all rows where a given supercolumn exists. Is this possible? Can you point me towards relevant issues? Not really. Even on non-supercolumns we don't have "existence" indexes. You can kind of workaround it (in the non-SC case) by setting a "flag" column to stand in for that, though. In the SC case I wonder if you could put the relevant data in a separate CF. > Allow CQL-based map/reduce > -------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-2878 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2878 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Hadoop > Reporter: Mck SembWever > Assignee: Jonathan Ellis > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.1 > > > Currently, when running a MapReduce job against data in a Cassandra data > store, it reads through all the data for a particular ColumnFamily. This > could be optimized to only read through those rows that have to do with the > query. > Adding CQL support to m/r will allow using an index more simply than trying > to cram support for more parameters into the job configuration. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
