Description

Here is a CQL3 range query sample where I get wrong results (tested using cqlsh --cql3) from my perspective:

CREATE KEYSPACE testing WITH strategy_class = 'SimpleStrategy' AND strategy_options:replication_factor = 1;

USE testing;

CREATE TABLE bug_test (a int, b int, c int, d int, e int, f text, PRIMARY KEY (a, b, c, d, e) );

INSERT INTO bug_test (a, b, c, d, e, f) VALUES (1, 1, 1, 1, 2, '2');
INSERT INTO bug_test (a, b, c, d, e, f) VALUES (1, 1, 1, 1, 1, '1');
INSERT INTO bug_test (a, b, c, d, e, f) VALUES (1, 1, 1, 2, 1, '1');
INSERT INTO bug_test (a, b, c, d, e, f) VALUES (1, 1, 1, 1, 3, '3');
INSERT INTO bug_test (a, b, c, d, e, f) VALUES (1, 1, 1, 1, 5, '5');

----------

Normal select everything query:

SELECT * FROM bug_test;

Results:

a | b | c | d | e | f
------+--
1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1
1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2
1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 3
1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 5 | 5
1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1

Everything fine so far.

----------

Select with greater equal comparison for last column of composite key:

SELECT a, b, c, d, e, f FROM bug_test WHERE a = 1 AND b = 1 AND c = 1 AND d = 1 AND e >= 2;

Results:

a | b | c | d | e | f
------+--
1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2
1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 3
1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 5 | 5
1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1

Bug:
Why was the last row returned? It shouldn't be there, right?

The same issue is also present with between ranges (e >= 1 AND e <= 2)...
