> What marshray suggested would look like this: create table bucket.users (name text, field text, value text, primary key ((name, field))); - with a composite partition key. Then you'd have two separate single-cell partitions "jbellis:email" : "jbellis@example.com" and "jbellis:phone" : "555-5555". You don't want to do that in either Riak or Cassandra.

Ah I see what you mean. I thought the intent was to group by some unique ID for the user.
