> column slice, which are ordered.

> An other solution, which is not recommended at all because it leads to hot

> Hello,
>>
>> I have what is perhaps a silly question.
>>
>> Column family other2 which has a varchar as primary key and a uuid column.
>> I have inserted 2000 rows
>>
>> All rows keys start with 'nl' followed by other characters.
>>
>> To my surprise when I do : select count(*) from other2 where key > 'z';
>>
>> It shows :
>>
>> count
>> -------
>> 1947
>>
>> All rows start with a character smaller than 1.
>>
>> But it becomes even more strange:
>>
>> cqlsh:demo> select count(*) from other2 where key > 'zz';
>> count
>> -------
>> 1415
>>
>> cqlsh:demo> select count(*) from other2 where key > 'zzz';
>> count
>> -------
>> 1820 < -- now the row count has even increased.
>>
>> What am I doing wrong here?
