Re: Bad Request: No indexed columns present in by-columns clause with Equal operator?
I tested the same and it seems to be so that you cannot such queries with indexed columns. Probably you need to have at least one condition with equal sign in the where clause. I am not sure. You can achieve your goal by defining the primary key as follows: create table test ( employee_id text, employee_name text, value text, last_modified_date timeuuid, primary key (employee_id, last_modified_date) ); and then querying like this: select * from test where last_modified_date mintimeuuid('2013-11-03 13:33:30') and last_modified_date maxtimeuuid('2013-11-05 13:33:45') ALLOW FILTERING; However, that will be slow because it has to do scanning. Therefore you need to say ALLOW FILTERING. Without that you will get a warning: Bad Request: Cannot execute this query as it might involve data filtering and thus may have unpredictable performance. If you want to execute this query despite the performance unpredictability, use ALLOW FILTERING The performance by using Cassandra like this is probably far from optimal. Hannu 2013/11/3 Techy Teck comptechge...@gmail.com Thanks Hannu. I got your point.. But in my example `employee_id` won't be larger than `32767`.. So I am thinking of creating an index on these two columns - create index employee_name_idx on test (employee_name); create index last_modified_date_idx on test (last_modified_date); As the chances of executing the queries on above is very minimal.. Very rarely, we will be executing the above query but if we do, I wanted system to be capable of doing it. Now I can execute the below queries after creating an index - select * from test where employee_name = 'e27'; select employee_id from test where employee_name = 'e27'; select * from test where employee_id = '1'; But I cannot execute the below query which is - Give me everything that has changed within 15 minutes . So I wrote the below query like this - select * from test where last_modified_date mintimeuuid('2013-11-03 13:33:30') and last_modified_date maxtimeuuid('2013-11-03 13:33:45'); But it doesn't run and I always get error as - Bad Request: No indexed columns present in by-columns clause with Equal operator Any thoughts what wrong I am doing here?

Hi, You cannot query using a field that is not indexed in CQL. You have to create either secondary index or create index tables and manage those indexes by yourself and query using those. Since those keys are of high cardinality, usually the recommendation for this kind of use cases is that you create several tables with all the data. 1) A table with employee_id as the primary key. 2) A table with last_modified_at as the primary key (use case 2) 3) A table with employee_name as the primary key (your test query with employee_name 'e27' and use cases 1 3.)
