Hello Aaron,

As long as this works with both the ability to add rows/records and queries.... As I've mentioned in the past, I'm using this to implement a logging system, and I figure I guess I could use family columns to separate a message into the event fields and the parsed message fields, but when making queries, it would be easiest for people using it not to have to differentiate between the column families.

I can see this being handled two ways really. One, making it so that if a column family is not specified, that the query will query all families with that field. The second method I could see is having a method called on the Query object or something specifying which column families to query by default, with the option to specify all column families.

Thanks,
Colton McInroy

I added a task to allow for the family field to be optionally populated.
  Do you think this is enough?

Hello,

     I am wondering about the ability to not have column families. I
noticed that when doing a query it appears you HAVE to specify the column
family where it would be nice to be able to just specify the column name,
and perhaps use a default column family or something.

Instead of having to do somefamily.somecolumn:**somevalue it would be
nice to just do somecolumn:somevalue. I need to be able to expose the query
language to some users, and I think the concept of column families will be
difficult for them to understand, and it makes for larger queries as well.
