What's the difference between creating a table and creating a columnfamily in Cassandra?

Question

I need details from both performance and query aspects, I learnt from some site that only a key can be given when using a columnfamily, if so what would you suggest for

Answer 1

Refer the document: https://cassandra.apache.org/doc/old/CQL-3.0.html

It specifies that the LRM of the CQL supports TABLE keyword wherever COLUMNFAMILY is supported.

This is a proof that TABLE and COLUMNFAMILY are synonyms.
