How to sort counters from Kassandra

Question

I have a row of counters and I want its columns sorted by values. Are there any strategies or data models for this?

Answer 1

I am afraid that Cassandra will not do this for you; you will need to get the entire line from Cassandra (swap for large lines) and sort it in the client.

You can use the MapReduce batch job to do this for you, and cache the result of the job back in Cassandra if your solution can handle the results without uptodate.
