-------------------------------------------
Summary: Decide if we want to make user types keyspace scoped
Key: CASSANDRA-6438
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6438
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Sylvain Lebresne
Currently, user types are declared at the top level. I wonder however if we
might not want to make them scoped to a given keyspace. It was not done in the
initial patch for simplicity and because I was not sure of the advantages of
doing so. However, if we ever want to use user types in system tables, having
them scoped by keyspace means we won't have to care about the new type
conflicting with another existing type.
Besides, having user types be part of a keyspace would allow for slightly more
fine grained permissions on them.
