Aleksey Yeschenko commented on CASSANDRA-6833: ---------------------------------------------- bq. Actually, to my mind this whole thing makes a lot of sense: use jsonblob for prototyping then once the schema settles convert to UDT. The json read/writes still work as intended, but magically it gets better for field lookups etc. Or, you know, just put it in a blob, since it only affects validation anyway, and changes literally nothing else - except maybe cqlsh output formatting. > Add json data type > ------------------ > > Key: CASSANDRA-6833 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6833 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Core > Reporter: Jonathan Ellis > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.0.7 > > > While recognizing that UDT (CASSANDRA-5590) is the Right Way to store > hierarchical data in C*, it can still be useful to store json blobs as text. > Adding a json type would allow validating that data.
