------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok thinking about this is more, this is basically a "what is worse" option. Folks that need to do horrible paging queries because of some legacy interface that they pass around (http://foo.com/?page=9) will just read the whole partition and throw away the extra AKA lousy client side mode.

If we required this be an "ALLOW FILTERING" option, I think that would tag it as a bad idea, but still enable people to do something less horrible than what they're already doing.  For smaller partitions this should be plenty fast enough still.

> While doing this across partitions would be awful, inside of a partition this seems like a reasonable request. Something like:
> SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE bucket='2015-10-10 12:00:00' LIMIT 100 OFFSET 100
> with a schema such as:
> CREATE TABLE my_table (bucket timestamp, id timeuuid, value text, PRIMARY KEY(bucket, id));
> This could ease pain in migration of legacy use cases and I'm not convinced the read cost has to be horrible when it's inside of a single partition.
> EDIT: I'm aware there is already an issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6511. I think the partition key requirement is where we get enough performance to provide the flexibility in dealing with legacy apps that are stuck on a 'go to page 8' concept for their application flow without incurring a huge hit scanning a cluster and tossing the first 5 nodes results.
