Hi,

I've finished my first model and experiments with Cassandra with result I'm
pretty happy with - so I thought I'd move on to something harder.

We have a set of data that has a large number of entities (which is our
primary search key), for each of the entities we have a smallish (<100)
number of sets of data. Each set has a further set the contains column/vale
pairs.

The queries will be for an Entity, for one or more days for one or more of
the subsets. Conceptually I would like to model like it like this:-

Entity {
   Day1: {
       TypeA: {col1:val1, col2:val2, . . . }
       TypeB: {col1:val1, col3:val3, . . . }
          .
          .
   }
   .
   .
   .
   DayN: {
       TypeB: {col3:val3, col5:val5, . . . }
       TypeD: {col3:val3, col6:val6, . . . }
          .
          .
   }
}

My understanding of the Cassandra data model is that I run out of map-dept
to do this in my simplistic approach as the Days are super columns, the
types are column and then I don't have a col/val map left for data.

Does anyone have advice on a good approach ?

thanks
