Cassandra Limit Query - How to Limit Rows Returned in Query Results
Sometimes it is useful to limit the number of rows that are returned from a query. This can be especially useful when querying very large tables.
The Cassandra CQL limit syntax can be used to limit the number of rows returned from a query. Listed below are some examples.
Example 1: Returning the first 10 rows from a table called employee:
select * from employee limit 10;
Example 2: Returning the first 10000 rows from a table called employee and only selecting
a subset of columns:
select fname, lname from employee limit 10000;
