Storing data un column qualifier

Hi all,

Simple question: is it correct practice to save data in a column family 
qualifier ?
I'd like to save information for a set contents inside a row (e.g. myRow 
: {theSet : [1,2,3]}) ; can I safely and efficiently store it like that 
: myRow : { theSet:1 : {}, theSet:2 : {}, theSet:3 : {}} (theSet being a 
column family and {} being some 0-sized byte array) ?

All the best,

F.Fondement

Others use the qualifier to carry data.  There is no rule against it.
