Don't worry for the language ;) I don't think there is any mecanism today to limit the number of columns into a column family.
There might be multiple options but they will all have some drawback. On option is to have a daily mapreduce job looking at each row and doing the cleanup. This can work if you don't have millions of huge columns because you will have to keep track of all of them to see how many you have and how many you need to remove... There might be some other options, like keep the index in the column name so you know you need to remove all column with name < XXX where XXX is the last index value minus the numbre of columns you can to keep. etc. JM 2013/9/18 M.
