Keeping sorted values in a column family

votes

I need data to be sorted in a column family. While discovering about Cassandra I found clustering order by option for column family. But while creating column families dynamically I am unable to set this option.

Via cqlsh when I run

CREATE TABLE con1(day timestamp,ts timestamp,value double, PRIMARY KEY(day,ts))
  WITH CLUSTERING ORDER BY (ts DESC);

it stores ts values as sorted.

When I create a column family via Hector dynamically, it defaults to compact storage. I am unable to define clustering order by using Hector.

Any solution for this problem?

Is there any other way to keep values sorted in column family?

Use the native CQL Java driver instead of Hector: https://github.com/datastax/java-driver
