Ruchir, I am curious if you had better luck with the AllRowsReader recipe. Mohammed

You should prefer to use the AllRowsReader recipe: https://github.com/Netflix/astyanax/wiki/AllRowsReader-All-rows-query Note the section titled Reading only the row keys<https://github.com/Netflix/astyanax/wiki/AllRowsReader-All-rows-query#reading-only-the-row-keys>, which seems to match your use case exactly. You should start getting row keys back very, very quickly.

I am interested in getting all the row keys in this column family and I am using the following Astyanax code snippet to do this. This query never finishes (ran it for 2 days but did not finish). This query however works with CF's that have lesser number of columns. This leads me to believe that there might be an API that just retrieves the row keys and does not depend on the number of columns in the CF. Any suggestions are appreciated. I am running Cassandra 2.0.9 and this is a 4 node cluster. keyspace.prepareQuery(this.wideRowTables.get(group)).setConsistencyLevel(ConsistencyLevel.CL_QUORUM).getAllRows().setRowLimit(1000) .setRepeatLastToken(false).withColumnRange(new RangeBuilder().setLimit(1).build()).executeWithCallback(new RowCallback<String, T>() { @Override public boolean failure(ConnectionException e) { return true; } @Override public void success(Rows<String, T> rows) { // iterating over rows here } });
