title: Shuffling items into a column family depending on date?
body: <p>I'll use a blog as an analogy. Our main document type has active and inactive entries in the table. Think of it like blog posts that are set to be published on a pre defined date. They also disappear on a pre defined date.</p>
  
  <p>Does Cassandra offer a way to cleanly query objects basted on if they are currently active, aka active on today's date? The only option I can see is having a second table that contains the active items, along with a regular scheduled job that scans the entire main table for items that are becoming active or inactive.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a neater way?</p>
