Hi, I am running into timeout issues using composite columns in cassandra 1.1.1 and cql 3.
My keyspace and table is defined as the following: create keyspace bn_logs with strategy_options = [{replication_factor:1}] and placement_strategy = 'org.apache.cassandra.locator.SimpleStrategy'; CREATE TABLE logs ( id text, ref text, time bigint, datum text, PRIMARY KEY(id, ref, time) ); I import some data to the table by using a combination of the thrift interface and the hector Composite.class by using its serialization as the column name: Column col = new Column(composite.serialize()); This all seems to work fine until I try to execute the following query which leads to a request timeout: SELECT datum FROM logs WHERE id='861' and ref = 'raaf' and time > '3000'; I really would like to figure out, why running this query on my laptop (single node, for development) will not finish. I also would like to know if the following query would actually work SELECT datum FROM logs WHERE id='861' and ref = 'raaf*' and time > '3000'; or how else there is a way to define a range for the second component of the column key? Any thoughts? Thanks in advance and kind regards Henning
