haha, yes - thats a real possibility.

cassandra is at its heart a key-value store. for every queryable field, you need to create a new in-place copy of the data. so you're basically saving the data n-times, for each way you wish to query the data.

if you however try to query on a field which hasn't been marked as query-able, the cluster will have to basically select everything in the table and do a for loop to filter for the 'where' clause :-)

But i haven't used in production yet, so you've got more experience then i do
