Hi Paul, many thanks for your informative answer! It's very exciting to see all those new and upcoming features in Cassandra.

I will try to collect some test cases that have caused that kind of bad behavior during the following week. I will submit a ticket once I have more details available. >> 4.

Want to do that one too? Ticket+Patch: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4577 --- I will continue asking some questions here in this thread instead of creating a new one every time. I guess most of my questions are answered quickly anyway. 5) LIMIT The last query with LIMIT 1 in this example returns a very strange result imho. Instead of just limiting the rows, it also replaces most column values with NULL. Is this the expected behavior? https://gist.github.com/3483042 > Best of luck with progress! Thank you.
