Many applications in thrift use the wide row with composite column name and as an example, let's say golf score for instance and we end up with golf score : pk like so
null : pk56 null : pk45 89 : pk90 89: pk87 90: pk101 95: pk17 Notice that there are some who do not have a golf score(zero would not quite make sense and would be interpreted as a golf score). I am hearing from this post if they are correct that this is not portable to CQL3??? Is this true? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18963248/how-can-i-have-null-column-value-for-a-composite-key-column-in-cql3 (This sounds like a major deficit to me as the wide row now can only be used where actual values exist?????). Is it possible to port this pattern to CQL3? Thanks, Dean
