title: Select first N rows of Cassandra table
body: <p>As stated in this <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/jericevans/cql20">doc</a> to select a range of rows i have to write this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>select first 100 col1..colN from table;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but when I launch this on <strong><em>cql shell</em></strong> I get this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;ErrorMessage code=2000 [Syntax error in CQL query] message="line 1:13 no viable alternative at input '100' (select [first] 100...)"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What's wrong?</p>
