Ah, thankyou, it looks like a combination of multi-column "PRIMARY KEY" and use of collections may well suffice for what I want. I must admit that I did not find any of this particularly obvious from the CQL documentation. By the way, http://cassandra.apache.org/doc/cql3/CQL.html#createTableStmt says "A table with COMPACT STORAGE must also define at least one clustering key", which seems to contradict definition 2 in the thrift-to-cql3 document you pointed me to.
