Row Key Types

2011-02-01 Thread Bill Speirs
What is the type of a Row Key? Can you define how they are compared? I ask because I'm using TimeUUIDs as my row keys, but when I make a call to get a range of row keys (get_range in phpcassa) I have to specify the UTF8 range of '' to '----' instead of the TimeUUID

Get column names without getting the data in them

2011-02-01 Thread Jeremiah Jordan
Is there a way to query for column names or super column names without also pulling down the data they contain? (Besides keeping a second index) I don't see an obvious way to do it from the Thrift API, but maybe I'm missing something. Thanks! -Jeremiah Jeremiah

Most if not all modern web application frameworks support sessions. This applies to Django (with which I have most experience and also run it with X.509 security layer) but also to Ruby on Rails and Pylons. So, why would you re-invent the wheel? Too messy. It's all out there for you to use.

The problem is where to store the session data. If the session need to be accessible by more than one web servers, the external storage is needed. Cassandra only supports eventual consistency. If web server w1 saves the session at node 1 of cassendra while web server w2 retrieve the session

We're using servlets which also support sessions, but you have to rely on the servlet container to offer any sort of distributed session handling and this produces scalability issues past a certain point. Same thing for persistent sessions (survive restart). We also want a mechanism that can
