Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-3663:
---------------------------------------------
bq. "comparator" and "default_validation"
'validation' is a noun, so 'validator' still makes more sense to me.
> 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.
