how to make a subselect in cassandra db

Question

I'm trying to recover the last state of my object, but this sub select does not work, I've seen that the new version of cassandra db supports aggregate operations and subqueries.

select * from event_store 
   where event_version = (select max(event_version) from event_store) 
    ALLOW FILTERING;

SyntaxException: line 1:49 no viable alternative at input 'select' (...from event_store where event_version = [(]select...)

Answer 1

You can do this by using 2 separate queries:

select max(event_version) from event_store;

and then

select * from event_store where event_version = 2 allow filtering;

I might be a bit outdated but it looks like there is no sub select support:

There were some attempts to do this:

But overall this is just not supported in cassandra.
