It is my understanding that you must have all parts of the partition key
in order to calculate the token. The partition key is the first part of
the primary key, in your case the userId.
You should be able to get the token from the userId. Give it a try:
cqlsh select userId, token(userId) from users limit 10;

Hi All,
I am a bit confused on how the underlying token aware routing is
working in the case of composite key.
Let's say I have a column family like this USERS( uuid userId, text
firstname, text lastname, int age, PRIMARY KEY(userId, firstname,
lastname))
My question is do we need to have the values of the userId, firstName
and lastName available in the same time to create the token from the
composite key, or we can get the right token just by looking at the
routing key userId?
Looking at the datastax driver code, is a bit confusing, it seems that
it calculate the token only when all the values of a composite key is
available, or I am missing something?
Thanks,
Haithem
