Jonathan Ellis resolved CASSANDRA-3663. --------------------------------------- Resolution: Won't Fix comparator and default_validation are both going to be obsolete and deprecated with CASSANDRA-2474 done, so it's not worth bikeshedding what they are called until then. > 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.
