Correct. You can use get_range_slices with RandomPartitioner too, BUT
the iteration order is non-predictable, that is, you will not know in
which order you get the rows (RandomPartitioner would probably better
be called ObscurePartitioner - it ain't random, but it's as good as if
it were ;-). This I find to be mostly useful when you want to go
through your entire keyspace, like when doing something map-reduce
like. Or you just have a fairly small CF.

Hi All,
I was under the impression that in order to query with
get_range_slices one has to have a OrderPreservingPartitioner.
Can we do get_range_slices with RandomPartitioner also? I can
distinctly remember I read that(OrderPreservingPartitioner for
get_range_slices) in Cassnadra WIKI but now somehow I'm not finding
it anymore.
Can anyone throw some light on it.
Thanks and Regards,
Rana
