Hi, My use case is storing pdf files from one side, and it's content as text from the other. Two kind of queries would either get the text, or the pdf from the primary key. Rarely both.
Then I guess the option is to create two columns family, one containing a VARBINARY column to store the binary pdf, and the other column family containing the text and other metadata in other columns. Since text can be compressed, I guess that's would be a good idea to compress the table. CREATE TABLE DOCUMENTS (HOST VARCHAR NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, A.CONTENT VARBINARY, B.TEXT VARCHAR, B.LABEL VARCHAR, B.DATE_CREATE TIMESTAMP) COMPRESSION='GZ' The problem is the compression here is for both column family. As a result, I will end up compressing pdf, that is lost of efforts. What do you suggest ? Thanks
