Cassandra partitioning and limit

[Jean Paul Adant <je...@gmail.com>]

Hi all

I'm using cassandra 1.1.9
I have this columnFamily, created with hector API. Here is its cql2
descrition.


CREATE TABLE TDF (
  KEY bigint PRIMARY KEY
) WITH
  comment='' AND

comparator='CompositeType(org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.LongType,org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.LongType,org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.LongType,org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.UTF8Type,org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.UTF8Type,org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.UTF8Type)'
AND
  read_repair_chance=1.000000 AND
  gc_grace_seconds=864000 AND
  default_validation=text AND
  min_compaction_threshold=4 AND
  max_compaction_threshold=32 AND
  replicate_on_write='true' AND
  compaction_strategy_class='SizeTieredCompactionStrategy' AND
  compression_parameters:sstable_compression='SnappyCompressor';


- I must insert a lot of sorted data (about 100 per second) and i'm using
composite keys as column name.
- Almost all datas are written on columns under the same row key


Question?
I understand row partitioning, and understood that all columns will be on
the same row, so on the same partitioner (so on the same machine)
As columnsFamilies have limitations of 2 billions cells per partitioner,
 will the CF limited to 2 billions entries?

Thanks!

note: my english is not so good, feel free to ask me questions if needed

You should not use CQL2, it will be removed from future versions of
Cassandra.
