Hey Aaron,
Yes, in regards to SCF definition, you are correct: name: Sensor column_type: Super compare_with: TimeUUIDType gc_grace_seconds: 864000 keys_cached: 10000.0 read_repair_chance: 1.0 rows_cached: 0.0 I'm not quite sure I follow you, though, as I think I'm doing what you specify. The Pelops code is below. Basically, I want to get rows starting from a Super Column with a specific UUID and limit the number, just as you inferred. When I run this code I just get the last N values (25 in this case) if non-reversed, and the first N values if reversed. However, regardless of what start param we use (Super Column UUID is String startKey below), we still get the same values for the specified amount (e.g. the same 25). *public* *void* getSuperRowKeys(String rowKey, String columnFamily, *int* limit, String startKey) *throws* Exception { *byte*[] byteArray = UuidHelper.*timeUuidStringToBytes*(startKey); ByteBuffer bb = ByteBuffer.*wrap*(byteArray); *new* UUID (bb.getLong(), bb.getLong()); List<SuperColumn> cols = selector.getPageOfSuperColumnsFromRow(columnFamily, rowKey, Bytes.*fromByteBuffer*(bb), *false*, limit, ConsistencyLevel.*ONE*); *for* (SuperColumn col : cols) { *if* (col.getName() != *null*) { System.*out*.println("NAME: " + UUID.*nameUUIDFromBytes*(col.getName())); *for* (Column c : col.columns) { System.*out*.println("\t\tName: " + Bytes.*toUTF8*(c.getName()) + " Value: " + Bytes.*toUTF8*(c.getValue()) + " timestamp: " + c.timestamp); } } } } Here is some example data from the CLI. If we specify 2f814d30-f758-11df-2f81-4d30f75811df as the start param (second super column down), we still get 52e6540-f759-11df-952e-6540f75911df (first super column) returned. => (super_column=952e6540-f759-11df-952e-6540f75911df, (column=64617465, value=323031302d31312d32332032333a32393a30332e303030, timestamp=1290554997141000) (column=65787472615f696e666f, value=6e6f6e65, timestamp=1290554997141000) (column=726561736f6e, value=6e6f6e65, timestamp=1290554997141000) (column=7365636f6e64735f746f5f6e657874, value=373530, timestamp=1290554997141000) (column=73657269616c, value=393135353032353731, timestamp=1290554997141000) (column=737461747573, value=5550, timestamp=1290554997141000) (column=74797065, value=486561727462656174, timestamp=1290554997141000)) => (super_column=2f814d30-f758-11df-2f81-4d30f75811df, (column=64617465, value=323031302d31312d32332032333a31393a30332e303030, timestamp=1290554397060000) (column=65787472615f696e666f, value=6e6f6e65, timestamp=1290554397060000) (column=726561736f6e, value=6e6f6e65, timestamp=1290554397060000) (column=7365636f6e64735f746f5f6e657874, value=373530, timestamp=1290554397060000) (column=73657269616c, value=393135353032353731, timestamp=1290554397060000) (column=737461747573, value=5550, timestamp=1290554397060000) (column=74797065, value=486561727462656174, timestamp=1290554397060000)) => (super_column=7c959f00-f757-11df-7c95-9f00f75711df, (column=64617465, value=323031302d31312d32332032333a31343a30332e303030, timestamp=1290554096881000) (column=65787472615f696e666f, value=6e6f6e65, timestamp=1290554096881000) (column=726561736f6e, value=6e6f6e65, timestamp=1290554096881000) (column=7365636f6e64735f746f5f6e657874, value=373530, timestamp=1290554096881000) (column=73657269616c, value=393135353032353731, timestamp=1290554096881000) (column=737461747573, value=5550, timestamp=1290554096881000) (column=74797065, value=486561727462656174, timestamp=1290554096881000)) => (super_column=c9be6330-f756-11df-c9be-6330f75611df, (column=64617465, value=323031302d31312d32332032333a30393a30332e303030, timestamp=1290553796836000) (column=65787472615f696e666f, value=6e6f6e65, timestamp=1290553796836000) (column=726561736f6e, value=6e6f6e65, timestamp=1290553796836000) (column=7365636f6e64735f746f5f6e657874, value=373530, timestamp=1290553796836000) (column=73657269616c, value=393135353032353731, timestamp=1290553796836000) (column=737461747573, value=5550, timestamp=1290553796836000) (column=74797065, value=486561727462656174, timestamp=1290553796836000)) => (super_column=17108150-f756-11df-1710-8150f75611df, (column=64617465, value=323031302d31312d32332032333a30343a30332e303030, timestamp=1290553497067000) (column=65787472615f696e666f, value=6e6f6e65, timestamp=1290553497067000) (column=726561736f6e, value=6e6f6e65, timestamp=1290553497067000) (column=7365636f6e64735f746f5f6e657874, value=373530, timestamp=1290553497067000) (column=73657269616c, value=393135353032353731, timestamp=1290553497067000) (column=737461747573, value=5550, timestamp=1290553497067000) (column=74797065, value=486561727462656174, timestamp=1290553497067000)) => (super_column=641da730-f755-11df-641d-a730f75511df, (column=64617465, value=323031302d31312d32332032323a35393a30332e303030, timestamp=1290553196836000) (column=65787472615f696e666f, value=6e6f6e65, timestamp=1290553196836000) (column=726561736f6e, value=6e6f6e65, timestamp=1290553196836000) (column=7365636f6e64735f746f5f6e657874, value=373530, timestamp=1290553196836000) (column=73657269616c, value=393135353032353731, timestamp=1290553196836000) (column=737461747573, value=5550, timestamp=1290553196836000) (column=74797065, value=486561727462656174, timestamp=1290553196836000)) => (super_column=4bce9420-f753-11df-4bce-9420f75311df, (column=64617465, value=323031302d31312d32332032323a34343a30332e303030, timestamp=1290552297060000) (column=65787472615f696e666f, value=6e6f6e65, timestamp=1290552297060000) (column=726561736f6e, value=6e6f6e65, timestamp=1290552297060000) (column=7365636f6e64735f746f5f6e657874, value=373530, timestamp=1290552297060000) (column=73657269616c, value=393135353032353731, timestamp=1290552297060000) (column=737461747573, value=5550, timestamp=1290552297060000) (column=74797065, value=486561727462656174, timestamp=1290552297060000)) On Wed, Dec 1, 2010 at 2:25 PM, Aaron Morton <aa...@thelastpickle.com>wrote: > The Partitioner applies to the row keys, not the columns.
