Queries which require joins are not recommended in Cassandra because they don't perform or scale well. If you have to do a JOIN to satisfy an application request, it implies that you didn't get your data model right.
You need to design your data model such that each app query maps to one table. If you have to do a client-side JOIN it means that you had to query the database multiple times to get the data. It may work for you but it will never perform as well as making a single read request to one table. Cheers!
