Metadata

[A J <s5...@gmail.com>]

If I wish to find name of all the keys in all the column families
along with other related metadata (such as last updated, size of
column value field), is there an additional solution that caches this
metadata OR do I have to always perform range queries and get the
information ?

I am not interested in the actual value contents of the columns but
just the metadata.

Thanks.
