Sergio Bossa commented on CASSANDRA-6833:
-----------------------------------------
I agree with [~iamaleksey]: that would definitely give users the wrong message,
and encourage what in the end is a bad practice.
I've personally done that in the past (stuffing JSON blobs inside columns), and
that's a pretty opaque and inefficient way of modelling your data, as opposed
to CQL3.

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core

> 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. (And adding formatting
> support in cqlsh?)
