Next, I also need to store the blogComments which I am planning to
store all, in another single row. 1 comment per column. Thus the
entire information about the a single comment like  commentBody,
commentor would be serialized(using google Protocol buffers) and
stored in a single column,


Is there any limitation/issue in having a signle row with a lot of
