Nope, partitioning is done per CF in PlayOrm. Dean

Thank you very much for the fast answer. Does playORM use different column families for each partition in Cassandra?

We use Astyanax and programmatically create CFs based on a time period of our choosing that makes sense for our system, programmatically drop CFs if/when they are outside a certain time period (rather than using C*'s TTL), and write data to the different CFs as needed. ~Jeremy On Wed, May 29, 2013 at 8:36 AM, cem <cayiro...@gmail.com<mailto:cayiro...@gmail.com>> wrote: Hi All, I used time range partitions 5 years ago with MySQL to clean up data much faster. I had a big FACT table with time range partitions and it was very is to drop old partitions (with archiving) and do some saving on disk. Has anyone implemented such a thing in Cassandra? It would be great if we have that in Cassandra. Best Regards, Cem.
