The solution maybe work. However, the play list will grow over time and somebody maybe has ten thousands that will slow down the query and sort . Do you mean the oldest one should be removed when a new play is added?
BTW, the version is 2.1.16 in our live system.

In this case you can't use PRIMARY KEY (user_name, video_id), as video_id is demanded to fetch row, so all this stuff may be CREATE TYPE play (video_id text, position int, last_time timestamp); CREATE TABLE recent (user_name text PRIMARY KEY, play_list LIST<frozen<play>>); You can easily retrieve play list for specific user by his ID. Instead of LIST you can use MAP, I don't think that for ten entries it matters.

Maybe I didn't describe the requirement clearly. The use cases should be: 1. a user login our app. 2. show the recent ten movies watched by the user within 30 days. 3. the user can click any one of the ten movie and continue to watch from the last position she/he did. BTW, a movie can be watched several times by a user and the last positon is needed indeed.

Or just as JSON string? So you'll have one row per each pair user-video. It can be something like this: CREATE TYPE play (position int, last_time timestamp); CREATE TABLE recent (user_name text, video_id text, review LIST<frozen<play>>, PRIMARY KEY (user_name, video_id)); UPDATE recent set review = review + [(1234,12345)] where user_name='some user' AND video_id='great video'; UPDATE recent set review = review + [(1234,123456)] where user_name='some user' AND video_id='great video'; UPDATE recent set review = review + [(1234,1234567)] where user_name='some user' AND video_id='great video'; You can delete the oldest entry by index: DELETE review[0] FROM recent WHERE user_name='some user' AND video_id='great video'; or by value, if you know the oldest entry: UPDATE recent SET review = review - [(1234,12345)] WHERE user_name='some user' AND video_id='great video'; Best regards, Vladimir Yudovin, Winguzone<https://winguzone.com?from=list> - Hosted Cloud Cassandra Launch your cluster in minutes. ---- On Mon, 07 Nov 2016 21:54:08 -0500ben ben <diamond....@outlook.com<mailto:diamond....@outlook.com>> wrote ---- Hi guys, We are maintaining a system for an on-line video service. ALL users' viewing records of every movie are stored in C*. So she/he can continue to enjoy the movie from the last point next time. The table is designed as below: CREATE TABLE recent ( user_name text, vedio_id text, position int, last_time timestamp, PRIMARY KEY (user_name, vedio_id) ) It worked well before. However, the records increase every day and the last ten items may be adequate for the business. The current model use vedio_id as cluster key to keep a row for a movie, but as you know, the business prefer to order by the last_time desc. If we use last_time as cluster key, there will be many records for a singe movie and the recent one is actually desired. So how to model that? Do you have any suggestions? Thanks! BRs, BEN
