Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-2903:
-------------------------------------------
So you think 0.8.1 should refuse to start up, and force you to downgrade to
0.8.0, fix your names, and retry?
I submit that allowing what was a working system under 0.8.0 to continue to
work is the right thing to do.
> Default behavior of generating index_name for columns might need to be
> improved.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2903
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: API
> Affects Versions: 0.8.1
> Reporter: Boris Yen
>
> I have a few column families, each has a column called user_name. I tried to
> use secondary index on user_name column for each of the column family.
> However, when creating these column families, cassandra keeps reporting
> "Duplicate index name..." exception. I finally figured out that it seems the
> default index name is "column name"+"_idx", this make my column family
> violate the "uniqueness of index name" rule.
> I was wondering if the default index_name generating rule could be like
> "column name"+"cf name", so the index name would not collide with each other
> that easily, if the user do not assign "index_name" when creating a column
> family.
