Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-2474:
-------------------------------------------

bq. CQL has been 1.0 since 0.8.  That's not alpha.

The 1.0 designation was Eric's.  I didn't push back because I remembered when 
he said this:

bq. the only reason to fuss about a 1.0, is that it is loaded with special 
meaning.  To impart some vague notion of readiness on people who should be 
paying less attention to a number, and doing more due diligence.

I also take this part of the CQL docs to mean that a X.Y version number implies 
no stability or maturity, only levels of compatibility:

{noformat}
Versioning of the CQL language adheres to the "Semantic 
Versioning":http://semver.org guidelines.  Versions take the form X.Y.Z where 
X, Y, and Z are integer values representing major, minor, and patch level 
respectively.
{noformat}

In any case, a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, and calling an 
incomplete, untested API 1.0 doesn't make it non-alpha.

> 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.
