["Christian Spriegel (Commented) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1592?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13155169#comment-13155169 ] 

Christian Spriegel commented on CASSANDRA-1592:
-----------------------------------------------

Any chance that anybody came up with a solution for this in the meantime? 

We are facing the same problem here. So far our solution is to load lots of columns and then do a regex on the column key in our application (Not on the row key!).

May I ask what the problem is with regex? Is it because of binary keys? Beside from that I would say that regex is as universal as it can be.

Thanks in advance for any feedback, Ch

> Sometimes, the client needs to apply advanced filtering to row keys to carry out ad-hoc queries.  Current implementation only supports prefix-match row filtering. This ticket is to extend the get_range_slices() API to filter the row keys by regular expression. 
> It can also be extended to filter the column names by regex.
