Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-2474: --------------------------------------------- bq. The core difference is that (..,..,..) notation will return given aliases (category, subcategory) as column names in the results But how will it do that ? The result of {noformat} SELECT c1:*..c2:*, value FROM events WHERE key = <timestamp>; {noformat} would be something like {noformat} Key | c1:subc1 | c1:subc2 | c1:subc3 | c2:subc1 | <timestamp> | event_value1 | event_value2 | event_value3 | event_value4 | {noformat} How do the result look like with 'given aliases (category, subcategory) as column names in the results' ? > CQL support for compound columns > -------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-2474 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2474 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: API, Core > Reporter: Eric Evans > Assignee: Pavel Yaskevich > Labels: cql > Fix For: 1.0 > > Attachments: screenshot-1.jpg, screenshot-2.jpg > > > For the most part, this boils down to supporting the specification of > compound column names (the CQL syntax is colon-delimted terms), and then > teaching the decoders (drivers) to create structures from the results. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
