Hi, I believe what he's recommending is:
CREATE TABLE count3 ( counter text, ts timeuuid, key1 text, value int, PRIMARY KEY (counter, ts) ) That way counter will be your partitioning key, and all the rows that have the same counter value will be clustered (stored as a single wide row sorted by the ts value). In this scenario the query: where counter = 'test' and ts > minTimeuuid('2013-06-18 16:23:00') and ts < minTimeuuid('2013-06-18 16:24:00'); would actually be a sequential read on a wide row on a single node. -- Francisco Andrades Grassi www.bigjocker.com @bigjocker On Jun 19, 2013, at 12:17 PM, "Ryan, Brent" <br...@cvent.com> wrote: > Tyler, > > You're recommending this schema instead, correct? > > CREATE TABLE count3 ( > counter text, > ts timeuuid, > key1 text, > value int, > PRIMARY KEY (ts, counter) > ) > > I believe I tried this as well and ran into similar problems but I'll try it > again.
