Ed Anuff commented on CASSANDRA-2231:
-------------------------------------
If you can add the -1, 0, 1 e-o-c suggestion, then I'm good with this. We've
been using a preview version of your patch that we put up at
https://github.com/riptano/hector-composite to make sure it works. So far it
seems to meet every use case, with the exception of the previous questions from
April 4 which you correctly pointed out couldn't be solved the way we were
suggesting. So, I'm all for getting this out as soon as possible.

> CompositeType is a custom comparer that makes it possible to create
> comparable composite values out of the basic types that Cassandra currently
> supports, such as Long, UUID, etc. This is very useful in both the creation
> of custom inverted indexes using columns in a skinny row, where each column
> name is a composite value, and also when using Cassandra's built-in secondary
> index support, where it can be used to encode the values in the columns that
> Cassandra indexes. One scenario for the usage of these is documented here:
> http://www.anuff.com/2010/07/secondary-indexes-in-cassandra.html. Source for
> contribution is attached and has been previously maintained on github here:
