Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-4093:
-------------------------------------------
bq. the field is useful internally in ColumnDefinition so not adding it to
ColumnDef (to say avoid confusing thrift user) would imo be a bit dangerous
Here's what I don't get. We're adding this to support backwards compatibility,
and yet we need to change the interface to do it? Clearly a 0.8 or 1.0 client
isn't going to be aware of this new field.
bq. All the aliases (key_alias, column_aliases, value_alias) are only useful to
CQL3 but yet have been added on the thrift side
Because we added those before we had cqlsh, so the cli was the only way to
configure them. In retrospect, not a great idea.

> ColumnDefinition.{ascii, utf8, bool, ...} static methods used to initialize
> schema_* CFs column_metadata do not respect CF comparator and use
> ByteBufferUtil.bytes(...) for column names which creates problems in CLI and
> probably in other places.
> The CompositeType validator throws exception on first column
> String columnName = columnNameValidator.getString(columnDef.name);
> Because it appears the composite type length header is wrong (25455)
> AbstractCompositeType.getWithShortLength
