Yup, thats a pretty common pattern. How exactly depends on the client you are using.
Say you were using pycassam, you would do a get() http://pycassa.github.com/pycassa/api/pycassa/columnfamily.html#pycassa.columnfamily.ColumnFamily.get with column_start="ABC_" , count to whatever, and column_finish not provided. You can also provide a finish and use the highest encoded character, e.g. ascii 126 is ~ so if you used column_finish = "ABC_~" you would get everything that starts with ABC_ Cheers ----------------- Aaron Morton Freelance Cassandra Developer @aaronmorton http://www.thelastpickle.com On 3 Aug 2011, at 09:28, Eldad Yamin wrote: > Hello, > I wonder if I can select a column or all columns that start with X. > E.g I have columns ABC_1, ABC_2, ZZZ_1 and I want to select all columns that > start with ABC_ - is that possible? > > > > Thanks!
