Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-2355: ------------------------------------------- ... never mind, it's totally reasonable to say "don't create a comparator w/ this new feature until you've upgraded the entire cluster" > Allow parameters for comparator > ------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-2355 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2355 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Core > Reporter: Sylvain Lebresne > Assignee: Sylvain Lebresne > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.7.5 > > Attachments: Allow-comparators-to-take-arguments-ReversedType.patch > > Original Estimate: 4h > Remaining Estimate: 4h > > Being able to provide arguments to a comparator, to parametrize its behavior, > can be useful. > For example, a generic ReverseComparator is trivial to write, but without the > ability to provide arguments at the comparator constriction, it cannot be > used. > CASSANDRA-2231 provides another use case for this. > This ticket proposes to introduce a parser for comparator definition that > supports optional parameters and to introduce a generic ReverseType as a > simple example of this. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
