Oh, and btw, that's not 2 billion indexed rows per-node, that's 2 billion
rows that have the *same* index value per-node (each index value is a
separate row in the index).

Not exactly. Each replica only indexes the rows that it is a replica for.
So there is a limitation currently indeed, but it is of 2 billion indexed
rows per-node.

Limitations on secondary indexes

2013-03-07 Thread Edward Sargisson
Hi,
Please correct me if this statement is wrong.

Secondary indexes are limited to indexing 2 billion rows - because they
turn a row into a column and C* has a limit of 2 billion columns.
