First of all, thanks for the excellent documentation.
Secondly, I have a doubt at http://www.datastax.com/docs/1.1/ddl/column_family

At the "Timeline Table" part, it says:

"The storage engine guarantees that the columns are clustered according to the partition key (tweet_id). ... "

but, isn't tweet_id the remaining key instead of the partition key?

Thanks for your help

Hi tremendows, documentation is correct on tweet_id being partition key as user_id being first component of the primary key in timeline ColumnFamily is effectively a row key.

Edit: Actually you are right, I have just confused composite terminology, we will let documentation team know about this, thanks!
