Partition key and clustering In CQL, the order in which columns are defined for the @PRIMARY KEY@ matters. The first column of the key is called the __partition key__. It has the property that all the rows sharing the same partition key (even across table in fact) are stored on the same physical node. Also, insertion/update/deletion on rows sharing the same partition key for a given table are performed __atomically__ and in __isolation__. Note that it is possible to have a composite partition key, i.e. a partition key formed of multiple columns, using an extra set of parentheses to define which columns forms the partition key. -The remaining columns of the @PRIMARY KEY@ definition, if any, are called __clustering keys__. On a given physical node, rows for a given partition key are stored in the order induced by the clustering keys, making the retrieval of rows in that clustering order particularly efficient (see SELECT). +The remaining columns of the @PRIMARY KEY@ definition, if any, are called __clustering columns.
