ByteOrderedPartitioner

ByteOrderedPartitioner sorts rows in the cluster lexically by partition key. Queried results are then returned ordered by that key. Tokens are calculated by the hexadecimal value of the beginning of the partition key.

When we discuss data modeling and CQL later on, the ability to order a result set by a partition key may seem like a good idea. But there are several problems with this partitioner. Foremost among them is that data distribution typically suffers.
