Hi, I am using Cassandra 0.6.5. Our application uses the get_range_slices to get rows in the given range.
Could someone please explain how get_range_slices works internally esp when a count parameter (value = 1) is also specified in the SlicePredicate? Does Cassandra first search all in the given range and then return top 1 or it some how reads only 1 and return them? What is the performance & I/O impact if we pass "start key" = "end key" in the SlicePredicate? Will it perform better than passing a range as ["Start key",""] with count = 1? Thanks, Naren
