Nope, I didn’t comment on that query. I specifically answered your question about "select * from hello where a='foo' allow filtering;”
The query you’ve listed here looks like it would also do a full table scan (again, I don’t see how it would be avoided). I recommend firing up a 3 node cluster using CCM, creating a key space with RF=1, and seeing what it does. > On May 9, 2017, at 9:12 AM, Kant Kodali <k...@peernova.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > Are you saying The following query select max(b) from hello where a='a1' > allow filtering; doesn't result in a table scan?
