Benjamin Lerer commented on CASSANDRA-11424: -------------------------------------------- +1 for {{DEFAULT UNSET/NULL}} > Add support to "unset" JSON fields in prepared statements > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-11424 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11424 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Ralf Steppacher > > CASSANDRA-7304 introduced the ability to distinguish between {{NULL}} and > {{UNSET}} prepared statement parameters. > When inserting JSON objects it is not possible to profit from this as a > prepared statement only has one parameter that is bound to the JSON object as > a whole. There is no way to control {{NULL}} vs {{UNSET}} behavior for > columns omitted from the JSON object. > Please extend on CASSANDRA-7304 to include JSON support. > {color:grey} > (My personal requirement is to be able to insert JSON objects with optional > fields without incurring the overhead of creating a tombstone of every column > not covered by the JSON object upon initial(!) insert.) > {color} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
