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
