Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-2231: --------------------------------------------- bq. I don't think that has anything to do with the problem though, does it? Well, actually that might, the class you linked is not related to this patch (and is not compatible with it as far as I can tell). > Add CompositeType comparer to the comparers provided in > org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-2231 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2231 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Contrib > Reporter: Ed Anuff > Assignee: Sylvain Lebresne > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.8.1 > > Attachments: > 0001-Add-compositeType-and-DynamicCompositeType-v2.patch, > 0001-Add-compositeType-and-DynamicCompositeType-v3.patch, > 0001-Add-compositeType-and-DynamicCompositeType-v4.patch, > 0001-Add-compositeType-and-DynamicCompositeType_0.7.patch, > CompositeType-and-DynamicCompositeType.patch, > edanuff-CassandraCompositeType-1e253c4.zip > > > CompositeType is a custom comparer that makes it possible to create > comparable composite values out of the basic types that Cassandra currently > supports, such as Long, UUID, etc. This is very useful in both the creation > of custom inverted indexes using columns in a skinny row, where each column > name is a composite value, and also when using Cassandra's built-in secondary > index support, where it can be used to encode the values in the columns that > Cassandra indexes. One scenario for the usage of these is documented here: > http://www.anuff.com/2010/07/secondary-indexes-in-cassandra.html.
