cassandra-cli list <CF> limit number of columns returned
--------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CASSANDRA-3012
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3012
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 0.8.3
            Reporter: Aaron Turner
            Priority: Minor


Right now in the CLI, running: list MyColumnFamily; will return the first 100 
rows and quite easily the bazillion columns associated with those rows.  Often 
times you're interested in just the row keys in the CF and less interested in 
all the columns or perhaps only a subset of columns.

Hence it would be nice to have the limit option take a second, optional 
parameter limiting the number of columns to return:

list MyCF[startkey:] limit 10, 30;

would limit the columns per row to 30 while limiting the number of rows to 10 
and starting at key "startkey".  It should also take values 0 (no columns) and 
-1 (all columns).  -1 should also be acceptable as a row limit also denoting 
"all rows" rather then requiring the user to type a large positive number.
