Change syntax of cqlsh for creating column families to be more descriptive for "comparator" and "default_validation" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-3663 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3663 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: Improvement Components: Tools Reporter: Donald Smith Priority: Minor According to http://crlog.info/2011/09/17/cassandra-query-language-cql-v2-0-reference/#Column+Family+Options+%28optional%29 the syntax for creating column families in cqlsh uses keywords "comparator" and "default_validation". Better, more descriptive names for these would be "column_name_comparator" and "column_value_validation" or perhaps better yet "column_key_comparator" and "column_value_validation". Two other people on the cassandra users' mailing list agreed with this suggestion. The existing syntax is unclear and confusing to beginners. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
