Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-5970:
-------------------------------------------
Then I would encode the function call information in IndexExpression and
RangeSliceCommand can take it from there. We could just use an enum for now
since we are not proposing user defined functions yet.
> FilteredRangeSlice command for regex searches against column names on known
> sets of keys

> 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.
