Hi, I am creating a review system. for instance lets assume following are the attibutes of system:
Review{ id bigint, product_id bigint, created_at timestamp, summary text, description text, pros set<text>, cons set<text>, feature_rating map<text, int> etc.... } I created partition key as product_id (so that all the reviews for a given product will reside on same node) and clustering key as created_at and id (Desc) so that reviews will be sorted by time. I can have more column and that requirement I want to fulfil by dynamic columns but there are limitations to it explained above. Could you please let me know the best way.
