> Key: CASSANDRA-6643
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6643
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Environment: java version "1.7.0_51"
> cassandra from trunk, 4b54b8...
> Reporter: Russ Hatch
> Assignee: Sylvain Lebresne
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.1 beta2
>

> I'm not 100% certain this is a bug.
> The current syntax for "alter type rename" requires the keyspace on the old
> and new table name (if a keyspace is not active). So, to rename the type
> 'foo' to 'bar', you have to issue this statement:
> ALTER TYPE ks.foo rename to ks.bar .
> As a result, this syntax will also allow renaming the type into another
> existing keyspace, which updates the metadata in system.schema_usertypes.
> I'm wondering if perhaps we can omit the second keyspace prefix and
> implicitly rename into the same keyspace.
> To reproduce:
> {noformat}
> cqlsh> create keyspace user_types with replication =
> {'class':'SimpleStrategy', 'replication_factor':3} ;
> cqlsh> create keyspace user_types2 with replication =
> {'class':'SimpleStrategy', 'replication_factor':3} ;
> cqlsh> CREATE TYPE user_types.simple_type (user_number int);
> cqlsh> alter type user_types.simple_type rename to user_types2.simple_type;
> {noformat}
> Renaming to another keyspace is also possible when a keyspace is active, like
> so:
> {noformat}
> cqlsh:user_types> alter type simple_type rename to user_types2.simple_type;
> {noformat}
