             Summary: Clustering key and secondary index
                 Key: CASSANDRA-11510
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11510
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: CQL
         Environment: ubuntu 14.04 LTS
            Reporter: Julien Muller
             Fix For: 3.4, 3.3


I noticed the following change in behavior while migrating from 2.0.11: 
Elements of the clustering key seems to not be secondary indexable anymore.

Using this table:
{code:sql}
CREATE TABLE table1 (
    name text,
    class int,
    inter text,
    power int,
    PRIMARY KEY (name, class, inter)
) WITH CLUSTERING ORDER BY (class DESC, inter ASC);
INSERT INTO table1 (name, class, inter, power) VALUES ('R1',1, 'int1',13);
INSERT INTO table1 (name, class, inter, power) VALUES ('R1',2, 'int1',18);
INSERT INTO table1 (name, class, inter, power) VALUES ('R1',3, 'int1',37);
INSERT INTO table1 (name, class, inter, power) VALUES ('R1',4, 'int1',49);
{code}

In version 2.0.11, I used to have a secondary index on inter, that allowed me 
to make fast queries on the table:
{code:sql}
CREATE INDEX table1_inter ON table1 (inter);
SELECT * FROM table1 where name='R1' AND class>0 AND class<4 AND inter='int1' 
ALLOW FILTERING;
{code}

While testing on 3.3.0, I get the following message:
Clustering column "inter" cannot be restricted (preceding column "class" is 
restricted by a non-EQ relation)
It seems to only be considered as a key and the index and ALLOW FILTERING are 
not taken into account anymore (as it was in 2.0.11).

I found the following workaround: 
Duplicate the column inter as a regular column, and simply query it with the 
secondary index and no ALLOW FILTERING. It looks like the behavior I would 
anticipate and do not understand why it does not work on inter only because it 
is a clustering key. The only answer on the ml evokes a bug.
