The "API" page has been changed by BenjaminBlack: http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/API?action=diff&rev1=30&rev2=31 Comment: Clarify semantics of reversed for SliceRange ||'''Attribute''' ||'''Type''' ||'''Default''' ||'''Required''' ||'''Description''' || ||`start` ||`binary` ||n/a ||Y ||The column name to start the slice with. This attribute is not required, though there is no default value, and can be safely set to `''`, i.e., an empty byte array, to start with the first column name. Otherwise, it must be a valid value under the rules of the Comparator defined for the given `ColumnFamily`. || ||`finish` ||`binary` ||n/a ||Y ||The column name to stop the slice at. This attribute is not required, though there is no default value, and can be safely set to an empty byte array to not stop until `count` results are seen. Otherwise, it must also be a valid value to the `ColumnFamily` Comparator. || - ||`reversed` ||`bool` ||`false` ||Y ||Whether the results should be ordered in reversed order. Similar to `ORDER BY blah DESC` in SQL. || + ||`reversed` ||`bool` ||`false` ||Y ||Whether the results should be ordered in reversed order. Similar to `ORDER BY blah DESC` in SQL. When reversed is `true`, `start` will determine the right end of the range while `finish` will determine the left, meaning `start` must be >= `finish`.|| ||`count` ||`integer` ||`100` ||Y ||How many columns to return. Similar to `LIMIT 100` in SQL. May be arbitrarily large, but Thrift will materialize the whole result into memory before returning it to the client, so be aware that you may be better served by iterating through slices by passing the last value of one call in as the `start` of the next instead of increasing `count` arbitrarily large. ||
