Robert Stupp commented on CASSANDRA-10411:
------------------------------------------
bq. So once I applied the formatting, formatting changes popped up
Yup - might be. But please do not format code, that's not changed. That would
cause conflicts with other merges and make the patch itself unnecessarily big
(and difficult to review). And yes, automatic formatting of the whole file is
not what you want then ;)
bq. can have separate JIRA ticket for that
Sure, go ahead :)

> Currently it is only possible to add one column at a time in an alter table
> statement. It would be great if we could add multiple columns at a time.
> The primary reason for this is that adding each column individually seems to
> take a significant amount of time (at least on my development machine), I
> know all the columns I want to add, but don't know them until after the
> initial table is created.
> As a secondary consideration it brings CQL slightly closer to SQL where most
> databases can handle adding multiple columns in one statement.
