Sam Tunnicliffe commented on CASSANDRA-3702:
--------------------------------------------

I didn't think the overriding the key bounds would cause a problem, as queries 
of the form 
{{SELECT COUNT(*) FROM <cf> WHERE key='foo'}} and {{SELECT COUNT(*) FROM <cf> 
WHERE key in ('foo', 'bar')}}
aren't treated as key range queries and so go down the branch that uses 
getSlice(). However, I'd overlooked the token() function
(and, I imagine, behaviour when using OrderPreservingPartitioner) where a key 
range can be specified. 

Am I right that the issue with not paging within internal rows is that 
fetching/materialising PAGE_COUNT_SIZE wide rows could still present a problem
by blowing up memory usage? If so, I could rework to add paging within the rows 
(and fix the token()/range queries), or given your comment re: CASSANDRA-2478,  
do you think it'd be better to just abandon this patch and close the ticket as 
a "won't fix"?
