Hi Sebastien! I'm totally new to Cassandra, but as far as I know there is no way of getting just the keys that are in the database, they are not stored separately but only with the data itself.
Why do you want a list of keys, what are you going to use them for? Maybe there is another way of solving your problem. What you are describing, getting all the keys/rows for a given column sounds like you have to fetch all the data that you have and then filter every key on your column, I don't think that get_key_range will do that for you even, says that it takes column_family, but like I said I'm totally new Erik 2010/2/2 Sébastien Pierre <sebastien.pie...@gmail.com> > Hi all, > > I would like to know how to retrieve the list of available keys available > for a specific column.
