The super column consists of a (unique) super column name, and a number of columns.
A super column is a tuple (a pair) with a binary super column name and a value that maps it to many columns.[1] They consist of a key-value pairs, where the values are columns. Theoretically speaking, super columns are (sorted) associative array of columns.[2] Similar to a regular column family where a row is a sorted map of column names and column values, a row in a super column family is a sorted map of super column names that maps to column names and column values.
A super column is part of a keyspace (data model) together with other super columns and column families, and columns.
Code example
Written in the JSON-like syntax, a super column definition can be like this:
{
"mccv": {
"Tags": {
"cassandra": {
"incubator": {"url": "http://incubator.apache.org/cassandra/"},
"jira": {"url": "http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA"}
},
"thrift": {
"jira": {"url": "http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT"}
}
}
}
}
