Stu Hood updated CASSANDRA-2001: -------------------------------- Attachment: 0004-Set-a-default-for-rep-on-write-and-revert-0001.txt Attaching the patch discussed in IRC. In summary: it is necessary to add a default with every new field, independent of whether you are using a union to make the field optional. Defaults are used in places where the writer's schema doesn't contain a field, but the reader's schema does. Unions are used to make fields optional: you can use a union together with a default to add a new optional field. > 0.7 migrations/schema serializations are incompatible with trunk > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-2001 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2001 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Core > Reporter: Gary Dusbabek > Assignee: Gary Dusbabek > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.8 > > Attachments: 0004-Set-a-default-for-rep-on-write-and-revert-0001.txt, > data.zip, v1-0001-use-the-writer-schema-and-not-the-current-schema-when-.txt, > v1-0002-get-rid-of-the-avro-db.migrations-classes-that-were-du.txt, > v1-0003-fix-order-of-replicate_on_write-and-make-sure-it-s-not.txt > > > Two problems: > 1. inserting replicate_on_write into the middle of the CfDef members created > a problem with serialization. > 2. merging the genavro files created a strange namespacing problem. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
