Aaron Morton commented on CASSANDRA-2734:
-----------------------------------------

Jonathan, 
This is from the Postgres Protocol docs 
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/protocol-flow.html#AEN84318

bq. The response to a SELECT query (or other queries that return row sets, such 
as EXPLAIN or SHOW) normally consists of RowDescription, zero or more DataRow 
messages, and then CommandComplete. COPY to or from the frontend invokes 
special protocol as described in Section 46.2.5. All other query types normally 
produce only a CommandComplete message.

Obviously the ability for of a SQL SELECT to cast and create any data it wants 
makes their life a bit harder.

Longer term we could allow the client to include it's schema ID in the request 
(like the compression param) and then return the schema for the CF involved in 
the select if it does not match. Could get a bit messy with the client holding 
CF definitions from different schema versions. Returning the full KS def may be 
a bit heavy weight.   

Short term and until CASSANDRA-2477 is in place, a possible solution is:

Add an optional string to the CqlResult thrift type that is set to 
DatabaseDescriptor.getDefsVersion() for ROWS result types. 

Have the JDBC client could also call describe_schema_versions() and get the 
schema ID for the node it's connected to when it is building the meta data. 
describe_schema_versions() goes to all live nodes.
