Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Cassandra Wiki" for change notification.
The "API" page has been changed by JonathanEllis. http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/API?action=diff&rev1=32&rev2=33 -------------------------------------------------- Keyspace:: Contains multiple Column Families. CF:: !ColumnFamily. SCF:: !ColumnFamily of type "Super". - Key:: A unique value that identifies a row in a CF. + Key:: A unique string that identifies a row in a CF. For clarity, rows are always identified by keys; columns are identified by names. Note that Thrift's Java code [i.e., Cassandra server] assumes that Strings are always encoded as UTF-8, but if you are using a non-Java client, you may need to manually encode non-ascii strings as utf8 first. (This is the major place Thrift does not support interoperability between different platforms well.) + Column:: A tuple of name, value, and timestamp; names are unique within rows. == Exceptions == NotFoundException:: A specific column was requested that does not exist.
