Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-2474: --------------------------------------------- bq. In this situation, cqlsh should deserialize 'keyname' values as uuid, and 'username' values as utf8, but any other column values should be deserialized as floa I guess my point is that your example wouldn't be valid anymore after this patch (it may still be accepted for one version for compatibility sake but that's all). And the ASSUME would look like: {noformat} ASSUME column_name IS type IN cf; {noformat} Of course, for a good part, this amount to my argument that static CF should be really static. If we end up disagreeing with that (which would be a mistake but that's another point :D), then yes, both the 'WITH default_validation' syntax for CREATE and the default_validator in the CqlMetatada would have to stay (which is actually not a bad argument in favor of my proposal of static is static IMHO). But let's say that at least CqlMetadata.name_types and CqlMetadata.comparator will lose their usefulness in any case. > CQL support for compound columns and wide rows > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-2474 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2474 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: API, Core > Reporter: Eric Evans > Assignee: Sylvain Lebresne > Priority: Critical > Labels: cql > Fix For: 1.1 > > Attachments: 2474-transposed-1.PNG, 2474-transposed-raw.PNG, > 2474-transposed-select-no-sparse.PNG, 2474-transposed-select.PNG, > cql_tests.py, raw_composite.txt, 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.
