Yeah i know about that, but the definition i have is for a cluster that is started/stopped
from a unit test with hector embeddedServerHelper, which takes definitions from the yaml.
So i'd still like to define the index in the yaml file (it should very well be possible I
guess)

Betreff: Re: cant seem to figure out secondary index definition
Hi,
if you download Cassandra and look into "conf/cassandra.yaml" then you can see this:
"this keyspace definition is for demonstration purposes only. Cassandra will not load these
definitions during startup. See http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/FAQ#no_keyspaces for an explanation."
So you should make all schema-related operation via Thrift/AVRO API, or you can use Cassandra
CLI.

Hi,
i am a little puzzled on creation of secondary indexes and the docs in that area are still
very sparse.
What I am trying to do is - in a columnfamily with TimeUUID comparator, I want the "special"
timeuuid 00000000-0000-1000-0000-000000000000 to be indexed. The value being some UTF8 string
on which I want to perform equality checks.
What do I need to put in my cassandra.yaml file?
Something like this?
- column_metadata: [{name: 00000000-0000-1000-0000-000000000000, validation_class: UTF8Type,
index_name: MyIndex, index_type: KEYS}]
This gives me that error:
15:05:12.492 [pool-1-thread-1] ERROR o.a.c.config.DatabaseDescriptor - Fatal error: null;
Can't construct a java object for tag:yaml.org<http://yaml.org>,2002:org.apache.cassandra.config.Config;
exception=Cannot create property=keyspaces for JavaBean=org.apache.cassandra.config.Config@7eb6e2;

Unable to find property 'validation_class' on class: org.apache.cassandra.config.RawColumnDefinition
Bad configuration; unable to start server
I am furthermor uncertain if the column name will be correctly used if given like this. Should
I put the byte representation of the uuid there?
Greetings,
roland
