Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-3779: --------------------------------------------- Forgot to say: The doc is trying to a vocabulary that I think make sense for CQL3. In that respect, it does not respect the current Cassandra vocabulary. For instance, the notion of column and row in the document are the ones of SQL, *not* the one of our internal representation. I also use the term table instead of column family systematically. While I understand this may be confusing for current user of Cassandra, I think this happens to be a very good fit to CQL3 and imho trying to do otherwise would make it very hard to explain CQL3. Besides, I doubt Cassandra users have already forgotten the notion of columns and rows in SQL, so the confusion should be minimal as long as we make the context clear. But this means I'll probably add a small warning at the beginning of the doc. > need forked language document > ----------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-3779 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3779 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: API > Affects Versions: 1.1.0 > Reporter: Eric Evans > Assignee: Sylvain Lebresne > Labels: cql > Fix For: 1.1.1 > > > The language doc ({{doc/cql/CQL.textile}}) needs to be forked for CQLv3 and > updated accordingly. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
