Creating the simplest composite-key cql3 table I can think of, populating it with a few rows of data, then trying to do a query with an ORDER BY does not yield ordered results.
Here's a cql script:
create keyspace test with strategy_class = 'SimpleStrategy' and strategy_options:replication_factor = 1; use test; create table moo (a int, b int, c int, primary key (a, b)); insert into moo (a, b, c) values (123, 12, 3400); insert into moo (a, b, c) values (122, 13, 3500); insert into moo (a, b, c) values (124, 10, 3600); insert into moo (a, b, c) values (121, 11, 3700); select * from moo; select * from moo order by b;
Here is the output of those two queries:
a | b | c -----+----+------ 121 | 11 | 3700 122 | 13 | 3500 124 | 10 | 3600 123 | 12 | 3400 a | b | c -----+----+------ 121 | 11 | 3700 122 | 13 | 3500 124 | 10 | 3600 123 | 12 | 3400
I also tried these using the bare thrift interface, to make sure it wasn't python-cql or cqlsh doing something stupid. Same results. Am I totally missing something important here about how this is supposed to work?
