Cassandra wouldn't know that the column name is composite of two different things. So you could just request the column names and values for a specific key like this and then just look at the column names that get returned:
[default@MyKeyspace] get DemoCF[ascii('key_42')]; => (column=CA_SanJose, value=50, timestamp=1305236885112000) => (column=CA_PaloAlto, value=49, timestamp=1305236885192000) => (column=FL_Orlando, value=45, timestamp=1305236885280000) => (column=NY_NYC, value=40, timestamp=1305236885361000) And I'm not sure what you mean by inputting composite column names. You just input them like any other column name: [default@MyKeyspace] set DemoCF['key_42']['CA_SanJose']='51'; Value inserted.
