Is there a way to get a row count (key count) of a single column family in Cassandra? get_count can only be used to get the column count.

For instance, if I have a column family containing users and wanted to get the number of users. How could I do it? Each user is it's own row.

If you are using an order-preserving partitioner, you can do this with get_range_slice or get_key_range.

If you are not, you will need to store your user ids in a special row.

I have been getting the counts like this after I convert the data into a hash in PHP.
