Does CQL3 require a schema for Cassandra now?

Question

I\'ve just had a crash course of Cassandra over the last week and went from Thrift API to CQL to grokking SuperColumns to learning I shouldn\'t use them and user Composite Keys

Answer 1

interesting, something I didn't know about CQL3. In PlayOrm, the idea is it is a "partial" schema you must define and in the WHERE clause of the select, you can only use stuff that is defined in the partial schema BUT it returns ALL the data of the rows EVEN the data it does not know about....I would expect that CQL should have been doing the same :( I need to look into this now. thanks, Dean
