Alex Liu commented on CASSANDRA-6102:
-------------------------------------

Since thrift structs do not support inheritance, that is, a struct may not 
extend other structs, so the choice is to create a new struct CfInfo which has 
the following properties

{code}
struct CfInfo {
    1: required string keyspace,
    2: required string name,
    3: optional string column_type="Standard",
    4: optional string comparator_type="BytesType",
    5: optional string subcomparator_type,
    6: optional list<ColumnDef> column_metadata,
    7: optional string default_validation_class,
    8: optional string key_validation_class,
    9: optional boolean compact_cql_table,
    10: optional boolean cql3_table
}
{code}

CfInfo is a new struct, so it doesn't affect the other existing code.

or add two additional properties to CfDef
{code}
     39: optional boolean compact_cql_table,
    40: optional boolean cql3_table
{code}
It adds additional properties only used by Pig, so a little overhead.

> I am seeing something rather strange in the way Cass 1.2 + Pig seem to handle 
> integer values.
> Setup: Cassandra 1.2.10, OSX 10.8, JDK 1.7u40, Pig 0.11.1.  Single node for 
> testing this. 
> First a table:
> {noformat}
> > CREATE TABLE testc (
>  key text PRIMARY KEY,
>  ivalue int,
>  svalue text,
>  value bigint
> ) WITH COMPACT STORAGE;
> > insert into testc (key,ivalue,svalue,value) values ('foo',10,'bar',65);
> > select * from testc;
> key | ivalue | svalue | value
> -----+--------+--------+-------
> foo |     10 |    bar |     65
> {noformat}
> For my Pig setup, I then use libraries from different C* versions to actually 
> talk to my database (which stays on 1.2.10 all the time).
> Cassandra 1.0.12 (using cassandra_storage.jar):
> {noformat}
> testc = LOAD 'cassandra://keyspace/testc' USING CassandraStorage();
> dump testc
> (foo,(svalue,bar),(ivalue,10),(value,65),{})
> {noformat}
> Cassandra 1.1.10:
> {noformat}
> testc = LOAD 'cassandra://keyspace/testc' USING CassandraStorage();
> dump testc
> (foo,(svalue,bar),(ivalue,10),(value,65),{})
> {noformat}
> Cassandra 1.2.10:
> {noformat}
> (testc = LOAD 'cassandra://keyspace/testc' USING CassandraStorage();
> dump testc
> foo,{(ivalue,
> ),(svalue,bar),(value,A)})
> {noformat}
> To me it appears that ints and bigints are interpreted as ascii values in 
> cass 1.2.10.  Did something change for CassandraStorage, is there a 
> regression, or am I doing something wrong?  Quick perusal of the JIRA didn't 
> reveal anything that I could directly pin on this.
> Note that using compact storage does not seem to affect the issue, though it 
> obviously changes the resulting pig format.
> In addition, trying to use Pygmalion 
> {noformat}
> tf = foreach testc generate key, 
> flatten(FromCassandraBag('ivalue,svalue,value',columns)) as 
> (ivalue:int,svalue:chararray,lvalue:long);
> dump tf
> (foo,
> ,bar,A)
> {noformat}
> So no help there. Explicitly casting the values to (long) or (int) just 
> results in a ClassCastException.
