CQL can't work correctly if 2 (CQL) columns have the same name. Now, to allow upgrade from thrift, CQL does use some default names like "key" for the Row key when there isn't anything else.
Honestly I think the easiest workaround here is probably to disambiguate things manually. Typically, you could update the column family definition to set the key_alias (in CfDef) to some name that make sense for you. This will end up being the name of the Row key for CQL. You may also try issue a RENAME from CQL to rename the row key, which "should" work. Typically something like "ALTER KunderaExamples RENAME key TO rowKey". -- Sylvain On Sat, Mar 16, 2013 at 4:39 AM, Vivek Mishra <mishra.v...@gmail.com> wrote: > Any suggestions? > -Vivek > > On Fri, Mar 15, 2013 at 5:20 PM, Vivek Mishra <mishra.v...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> Ok.
