Sorry if this seems like a dumb question, but I can't find an answer anywhere.
I have a column family with a comparator type of "TimeUUIDType"
I can do inserts to it no problem, and I can also do gets on on without any issue and see my results be shown.
What I am really lost on here, is after I perform a get() what exactly am I getting back? Is it an array of values?
If someone could show me how I might ever go about doing a simple loop to loop through my results, that would be a massive help!
When I do a get, the results are in the following format in terminal :
(key) -> (Column : value) (Column: value) (Column: value)
Thanks in advance!
If memory serves, you get back a tuple of
(key<string>, OrderedDict{column_name: column_value})
So, if you want to go over each column, you would do something like
for column_name, column_value in cf.get(...)[1].items():
print column_name, column_value
**EDIT / CORRECTION **
The return value from a get() is only the columns, not the key and columns.
for column_name, column_value in cf.get(...).items():
print column_name, column_value
I was thinking of multiget / get_range which include them as you are potentially returning more than a single row. Thanks @thobbs for pycassa and the correction.
