Hi I've been thinking of using cassandra for our existing application, which has a very complex RDBMS schema as of now, and we need to make a lot of queries using joins and where. Whereas we can eliminate joins by using duplicate entries, its still hard to query cassandra. I have thought of a way of doing it. I dont know how good it. My idea is as :
For a very simple query wherin we need to check username and password I think keeping incremental numeric id as key and keeping the name and value same in the column family should work. Example : User1 has password as 123456 Cassandra structure : 1 as key user1 - column name value - user1 123456 - column name value - 123456 I m thinking of doing it this way for my applicaton, this way i can run different sorts of queries too, using get_slice and other functions. Any feedback on this is welcome.
