Cassandra map data types in where clause

Question

I'm new to cassandra, so this may be a trivial question.

Given a table defined as follows: create table Users ( username text, props map, PRIMARY KEY (username) );

Can I use individual elements of the map in a where clause? (i.e. select * from users where props['is_online']='no';)

I've seen examples referencing individual elements on updates and deletes, but haven't been able to find anything regarding usage as part of the where clause.

Indexing collections is not supported until 2.1: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4511
