Another problem is that I am not sure how to select on keys which are strings.
Check this:
{noformat}
cassandra@cqlsh> DESCRIBE ks.tb2;
CREATE TABLE ks.tb2 (id text PRIMARY KEY) ...
cassandra@cqlsh> select * from ks.tb2;
id
----------
a
O'Reilly(2 rows)
cassandra@cqlsh> select * from system_views.primary_ids where keyspace_name =
'ks' and table_name = 'tb2' and key = 'a';
SyntaxException: Failed parsing CQL term: [a] reason: SyntaxException line 0:-1
no viable alternative at input '<EOF>'
cassandra@cqlsh> select * from system_views.primary_ids where keyspace_name =
'ks' and table_name = 'tb2' and key = 'O''Reilly';
SyntaxException: Failed parsing CQL term: [O'Reilly] reason: SyntaxException
line 1:8 mismatched character '<EOF>' expecting '''
{noformat}
Huh? it works when key is int:
{noformat}
cassandra@cqlsh> DESCRIBE ks.tb;
CREATE TABLE ks.tb (
id int PRIMARY KEY,
val text
) ..
cassandra@cqlsh> select * from ks.tb;
id | val
----+-----
1 | a
(1 rows)
cassandra@cqlsh> select * from system_views.primary_ids where keyspace_name =
'ks' and table_name = 'tb' and key = '1';
keyspace_name | table_name | token_value | key | size_estimate |
sstables
---------------+------------+----------------------+-----+---------------+----------
ks | tb | -4069959284402364209 | 1 | 15 |
1(1 rows)
{noformat}
EDIT:
OK, so this works:
{noformat}
cassandra@cqlsh> select * from system_views.primary_ids where keyspace_name =
'ks' and table_name = 'tb2' and key = '''a'''; keyspace_name | table_name |
token_value | key | size_estimate | sstables
---------------+------------+----------------------+-----+---------------+----------
ks | tb2 | -8839064797231613815 | 'a' | 9 |
1
{noformat}
That is a little bit ... yikes.
Also for tables like this:
{noformat}
CREATE TABLE ks.tb3 (
id1 text,
id2 text,
val int,
PRIMARY KEY ((id1, id2))
) {noformat}
I was not able to do that, all I could do is to do select on vtable without any
key and then do this:
{code:java}
cassandra@cqlsh> select * from system_views.primary_ids where keyspace_name =
'ks' and table_name = 'tb3' and key = '0x0001610000016200';
keyspace_name | table_name | token_value | key |
size_estimate | sstables
---------------+------------+---------------------+--------------------+---------------+----------
ks | tb3 | 7470152180878494447 | 0x0001610000016200 |

> Virtual table to query partition keys in a table
> ------------------------------------------------

> Key: CASSANDRA-20161
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-20161
> Project: Apache Cassandra
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Feature/Virtual Tables
> Reporter: Chris Lohfink
> Assignee: Chris Lohfink
> Priority: Low
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Introduce a new virtual table, {{{}PrimaryIdTable{}}}, to allow users to
> query partition keys and related metadata for a specific table within a
> keyspace. This feature provides insights into SSTable-level details, such as
> token values, size estimates, and SSTable counts, without requiring expensive
> disk-based operations.
