A clustering element is composed of a clustering column and its + * associated value. In practice, that class is not only used for clustering elements but also for partition key elements + * and tokens expression. + * + * <p>There are some difference between how predicates are represented in a CQL query and how they have to be expressed + * internally. Those differences are: + * <ul> + * <li>The selected partition keys and clustering columns can be expressed with separates predicates in a CQL query + * but need to be grouped internally to define exact partition and clustering keys. For example, + * <pre>[..] WHERE pk1 = 2 AND pk2 = 3 AND c1 = 5 AND c2 IN (3, 4)</pre> will request 2 rows with clustering (5, 3) and + * (5, 4) from the partition (2, 3).</li> + * <li>When clustering slices are expressed in a CQL query they are expressed as if all columns were in + * ascending order. Internally the engine handle slice according to the clustering columns real order. + * For example, if column c1 is descending and column c2 is ascending the predicate <pre>(c1, c2) >= (1, 2)</pre> + * should be translated internally in [(bottom) .. (1, bottom)),[(1, 2, bottom)..(1.top)].</li> Review Comment: Not sure about this one. The bottom should stay, no? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
