Jorge Bay commented on CASSANDRA-6644:
--------------------------------------

You are right, it looks like the only way would be to filter out rows in the 
coordinator.

> CQL: Select every nth row within the same partition key

> In a time-series schema (like metrics), it is common to create 
> roollups/buckets with datapoints at different rate. 
> It would be nice to have a keyword in CQL to be able to retrieve one every 
> nth row (within a single storage engine wide row).
> For example, in the following schema: 
> CREATE TABLE metrics (
>  ...    metric_id varchar,
>  ...    ts timestamp,
>  ...    value float,
>  ...    PRIMARY KEY (metric_id, ts)
>  ... );
> The following query, will retrieve 1 in every 3 rows:
> (SKIP keyword or something like that, but don't focus on the syntax)
> SELECT ts, value WHERE metric_id = ? SKIP 2;
> This would be very useful for continuous (and somehow linear) metrics.
