Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-1704:
-------------------------------------------

bq. I wonder if this isn't going to set people up for misunderstandings. 

No matter what you do, someone somewhere will misunderstand.  I think the 
greater benefit is that you can start by doing SQL-like SELECTs with index 
clauses and later graduate to doing slices on your own "materialized view" 
columnfamilies.  Emphasizing the similar rather than the different to start 
with is a positive thing imo.

bq. I'd planned to handle that with different term definitions

That works for me, although I'd prefer it to be uniform (long(10000) instead of 
10000L).

> Data access specification and implementation for CQL.  
> This corresponds to the following RPC methods:
> * get()
> * get_slice()
> * get_count()
> * multiget_slice()
> * multiget_count()
> * get_range_slices()
> * get_indexed_slices()
> The initial check-in to trunk/ uses a syntax that looks like:
> {code:SQL}
> SELECT (FROM)? <CF> [USING CONSISTENCY.<LVL>] WHERE <EXPRESSION> [ROWLIMIT X] 
> [COLLIMIT Y] [ASC|DESC]
> {code}
> Where:
> * <CF> is the column family name.
> * <EXPRESSION> consists of relations chained by the AND keyword.
> * <LVL> corresponds to one of the enum values in the RPC interface(s).
> What is still undone:
> * Support for indexes
> * Counts
> * Complete test coverage
> And of course, all of this is still very much open to further discussion.
