----------------------------------------
Yes - similar to get_[range|paged]_slices.
> FilteredRangeSlice command for regex searches against column names on known

> Key: CASSANDRA-5970
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5970
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Nate McCall
>
> This is the ability to apply a regex against columns when the set of keys is
> known. In filtering the keys, we would like to allow for the following
> clauses: E, GTE, LTE, NE, inclusive list, exclusive list.
> The end goal is to provide for efficient searching in the case where you have
> some knowledge of the keys. A specific use case would be, say, searching user
> agent strings in the given set of date buckets in the classic time-series web
> log use case. This is a "sweet spot" for Cassandra and providing a more
> direct method of access for such will help a lot of users.
> Additionally, this will provide some level of feature parity with RDBMS crowd
> who've had this feature for some time.
> Internally, this will include the introduction of a new Verb, SSTableScanner
> extension and an ExtendedFilter implementation which applies the regex as
> well as a new method on StorageProxy.
> This issue does not cover exposing this new query method to thrift and CQL,
> but obviously that will be required for this to be of any practical use.
> Those should be covered by separate issues.
