Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-1391: ------------------------------------------- bq. Instead of converting deserialized thrift objects to KSMetaData we would need to initialize KSMetaData/CFMetaData and populate those with parameters from db, is it really better? At the least, it lets you re-use apply/diff instead of rewriting that, and easy CASSANDRA-2477. bq. With current patch user will be able to do "SELECT * FROM system.keyspaces" and other queries but after CASSANDRA-2474 is done because `system.keyspaces` uses composite columns Does it? It sure looks like it uses serialized Thrift objects to me.
