Hi
"In practice, one would want to model their data such that the 'row has
too much columns' scenario is prevented."
I am curious how really to prevent this, if the data is sharded with one
day granularity, nothing stops the client to insert enormous amount of new
columns (very often it is not possible to foreseen how much data clients
would insert) then some functionality is needed prevent too much columns in
a row (too much depends on the data), then such runtime sharding in
necessary (to split the day granulary to two rows). I still think if this
runtime sharding is possible in cassandra.
Best regards, Daniel.
