Robert Stupp commented on CASSANDRA-6167:
-----------------------------------------
Ping on this one.
Now that we have CASSANDRA-4914 and CASSANDRA-8053, it could be possible to add
some kind of "row limit per CQL partition key" or "end aggregate calculation".
WDYT?
> Add end-slice termination predicate

> Key: CASSANDRA-6167
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6167
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: API, Core
> Reporter: Tupshin Harper
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: cql
>
> When doing performing storage-engine slices, it would sometimes be beneficial
> to have the slice terminate for other reasons other than number of columns or
> min/max cell name.
> Since we are able to look at the contents of each cell as we read it, this is
> potentially doable with very little overhead.
> Probably more challenging than the storage-engine implementation itself, is
> to come up with appropriate CQL syntax (Thrift, should we decide to support
> it, would be trivial).
> Two possibilities ar
> 1) special where function:
> SELECT pk,event from cf WHERE pk IN (1,5,10,11) AND
> partition_predicate({predicate})
> or a bigger language change, but i think one I prefer. more like:
> 2) SELECT pk,event from cf where pk IN (1,5,10,11) UNTIL PARTITION event
> {predicate}
> Neither feels perfect, but I do like the fact that the second one at least
> clearly states what it is intended to do.
> By using "UNTIL PARTITION", we could re-use the UNTIL keyword to handle other
> kinds of early-termination of selects that the coordinator might be able to
> do, such as stop retrieving additional rows from shards after a particular
> criterion was met.
