I'm using SuperColumnFamily as a shortcut to say "ColumnFamily of type 'Super'" which is what you'll find in the configuration. Your diagram was not incorrect. It shows both Columns and SuperColumns under the same family which can't happen in practice but logically do live under the same branch. So it's sort of correct but confusing :) Ted
