Hi Mohammad,
  Our requirement is that,
  Initially we have created a table 'emp'  with the below detail in single 
column family (cfemp )
    cfemp:eno
    cfemp:ename
    cfemp:address

After that we have added two columns  in the table  (  address2, address3 and  
city),
  We plan to create a new coloum family called  'cfadd'  to store all the 
address details as below
     cfemp:eno
     cfemp:ename
     cfadd:address   -- Previously it was in cfemp column family
     cfadd:address2
     cfadd:address3
     cfadd:city

Regards,
Ravi

Hello Ravi,

    Short answer, no. We don't have a way to achieve this. At lest I am not
aware of any. (Please share with us if you are able to achieve this.)

But, just out of curiosity, I would like to ask you, why would you want to
do that? I mean I don't see any fundamental difference between both the
schemata.

Regards,
    Mohammad Tariq
