I was wondering something. Since I can take OPP and I can create a layer that for certain column families, I hash the key so that some column families are just like RP but on top of OPP and some of my other column families are then on OPP directly so I could use lucandra, why not make RP deprecated and instead allow users to create OPP by column family or RP where RP == doing the hash of the key on my behalf and prefixing my key with that hashcode and stripping it back off when I read it in again.
ie. why have RP when you could do RP per column family with the above reasoning on top of OPP and have the best of both worlds????? ie. I think of having some column families random and then some column famiiles ordered so I could range query or use lucandra on top of those ones. thoughts? I was just curious. thanks, Dean
