This page lists difficulties and peculiarities of Cassandra Storage Engine. I'm not putting them into bug tracker because it is not clear whether these properties should be considered bugs.

No way to get E(#rows in column family)

There seems to be no way to get even a rough estimate of how many different keys are present in a column family. I'm using an arbitrary value of 1000 now, which causes

- EXPLAINS with rows #100. - Odd output for DELETE FROM table. For column family with 3 rows, it prints:

MariaDB [j1]> delete from t1;
Query OK, 1000 rows affected (0.14 sec)

The "1000 rows affected" part looks scary.
