Maciej,
In CQL3 "wide rows" are expected to be created using clustering columns. So while the schema will have a relatively smaller number of named columns, the effect is a wide row. For example: CREATE TABLE keyspace.widerow ( row_key text, wide_row_column text, data_column text, PRIMARY KEY (row_key, wide_row_column)); Check out, for example, http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/schema-in-cassandra-1-1.?

Cassandra should support wide rows, meaning tables with millions of columns. Knowing that, I would expect kind of iterator for column names. Am I missing something here? Regards, Maciej Miklas
