Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-4093:
-------------------------------------------
I think we'll regret the precedent in trying to preserve all the arbitrarily
complex things you could do with the old CFMetadata. It really doesn't make
sense to have a CompositeType as a column name. Given that, and given that
CFMetadata names under <= 1.0 were only useful for validation (and indexes, but
we don't index CTs yet either), I'd rather say "we don't support that in 1.1+,
and if you were doing that, drop the column definition before you upgrade."
Optionally, we could auto-drop it for them and log a warning.
> schema_* CFs do not respect column comparator which leads to CLI commands
> failure.
