Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-3919: --------------------------------------------- bq. the map is a json pseudomap, not a collection. let's convert everything in one go in CASSANDRA-4603 If this ticket is going to go in 1.2 as the current fix version suggests, I'd advise not using a json pseudomap because it is quite unclear to me that CASSANDRA-4603 won't require special casings in the code for each property that needs to be converted. So the pseudomaps we have, the more work/special casings we might have to do. > Dropping a column should do more than just remove the definition > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-3919 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3919 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Core > Reporter: Jonathan Ellis > Assignee: Aleksey Yeschenko > Labels: compaction, cql > Fix For: 1.2.4 > > > Dropping a column should: > - immediately make it unavailable for {{SELECT}}, including {{SELECT *}} > - eventually (i.e., post-compaction) reclaim the space formerly used by that > column -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
