Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-3647: ------------------------------------------- bq. Why isn't the discard syntax as simple as [...] I like it! bq. I assume BTW that braces ("[") are signifying a position in an ordered list, and Brackets ("{") are signifying a value (or label) and not a position That's reasonable, but then you still have the problem of Maps that don't really fit either of those. And like I said, a Set feels more like a Map-without-values to me, than like a List-without-indexes. > Support set and map value types in CQL > -------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-3647 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3647 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: API, Core > Reporter: Jonathan Ellis > Assignee: Sylvain Lebresne > Labels: cql > Fix For: 1.2 > > > Composite columns introduce the ability to have arbitrarily nested data in a > Cassandra row.
