Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-6915:
---------------------------------------------

bq.  I would argue that it's important to understand the storage layer 
difference between PRIMARY KEY ((id, timestamp), event) and PRIMARY KEY (id, 
timestamp, event)

It's important to understand what your partition key is, and that the partition 
key decides how our table rows will be distributed on the cluster. But you 
don't need to delve into "storage layer" representation to explain that. Again, 
I think the approach of CASSANDRA-6910 of using separate colors in the 
resultset header (colors that we could reuse in DESC) is simple and efficient.

> In Cassandra it's super important to understand how your CQL schema

> to do this.
