Robert Coli commented on CASSANDRA-6833:
----------------------------------------
I agree with Aleksey, above. If you make a JSON data type that validates, you
*will* see users constantly using it. If we don't want them to do Stupid
Things, we shouldn't suggest that Cassandra expects them to do said Stupid
Things and wants to make it easier by providing validation. As it is trivial
for them to validate outside of Cassandra, validation within Cassandra suggests
endorsement.

> 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?)
