Pattern matching / better filtering for column / super column names for
get_slice
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-570
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-570
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.5, 0.9
Reporter: Suhail Doshi
It would be useful to be able to pattern match or wildcard in a column name.
The problem is sometimes you need more depth where supercolumns are not enough.
The hack around solution is prefixing things but when you prefix things you
realize you need a better way to filter through the prefixed data.
I am voting for a way to pattern match or permit some kind of wildcarding in
the column if possible.
For example:
column name="prefix_20091122_male"
column name="prefix2_20091122_female"
Cassandra could be used in complex data situation for people who want to grab
all data from the date: 20091122 or grab all data from the date: "20091122" and
that is of type male or female through some kind of wildcard / pattern matching
scheme.
I won't propose one because I do not understand Cassandra well enough to but it
seems like this may be possible and worth a discussion.
