Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-11067: -------------------------------------------- If we can get a LIKE approach in for 3.4, so much the better. I'm saying that I don't think overloading = is acceptable to ship, and proposing the simplest possible alternative. > Improve SASI syntax > ------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-11067 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11067 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Task > Components: CQL > Reporter: Jonathan Ellis > Assignee: Sam Tunnicliffe > > I think everyone agrees that a LIKE operator would be ideal, but that's > probably not in scope for an initial 3.4 release. > Still, I'm uncomfortable with the initial approach of overloading = to mean > "satisfies index expression." The problem is that it will be very difficult > to back out of this behavior once people are using it. > I propose adding a new operator in the interim instead. Call it MATCHES, > maybe. With the exact same behavior that SASI currently exposes, just with a > separate operator rather than being rolled into =. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
