Hello all,

I am trying to test Cassandra for deploying it in production in our
company, and I am very pleased with the performance of the
reads/writes on Columns. I did run into an issue with the API though
while trying to play with supercolumns. Here is my code:

// Creating a supercolumn with name = "key" and columns ("value", "created").
        long now = System.currentTimeMillis();
        byte[] keyAsBytes = key.getBytes();

        ColumnOrSuperColumn colOrSuperCol = new ColumnOrSuperColumn();
        SuperColumn superCol = new SuperColumn();
        colOrSuperCol.setSuper_column(superCol);
        superCol.setName(keyAsBytes);
        List<Column> cols = new ArrayList<Column>();

        // first the key/value pair
        Column col = new Column();
        col.setName("value".getBytes());
        col.setValue(value);
        cols.add(col);

        // then the time created
        col = new Column();
        col.setName("created".getBytes());
        col.setValue((now + "").getBytes());
        cols.add(col);

        superCol.setColumns(cols);

        Map<String, List<ColumnOrSuperColumn>> map = new
HashMap<String, List<ColumnOrSuperColumn>>();
        List<ColumnOrSuperColumn> list = new ArrayList<ColumnOrSuperColumn>();
        list.add(colOrSuperCol);
        map.put(COLUMN_FAMILY_NAME, list);

        client.batch_insert(KEYSPACE_NAME, key, map, ConsistencyLevel.ONE);


// The GET of the supercolumn
        SlicePredicate predicate = new SlicePredicate(null, new
SliceRange(new byte
[0], new byte[0], false, 2));
        ColumnParent parent = new ColumnParent(COLUMN_FAMILY_NAME,
key.getBytes());

        List<ColumnOrSuperColumn> columns = null;
            columns = client.get_slice(KEYSPACE_NAME, key,
                    parent, predicate, ConsistencyLevel.ONE);


// delete the supercolumn
            client.remove(KEYSPACE_NAME, key,new
ColumnPath(COLUMN_FAMILY_NAME, null, null),
System.currentTimeMillis(),ConsistencyLevel.ONE);

// Do the get again

When I try to delete the super column and then I try to read it again,
I get an exception thrown by cassandra

I was expecting a NotFoundException() since I thought the read will
not find anything. Also anytime I try to rerun this after the delete I
always get an exception in the reads.

Am I doing something seriously wrong? Thanks a lot for your help
