Jeremiah Jordan commented on CASSANDRA-7895:
--------------------------------------------
I think this is supposed to be:
{noformat}
alter type foo rename somefield to bar;
{noformat}
At least in the spec it only lets you change a field name. Not the type name.
https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-2.1.0/doc/cql3/CQL.textile
{noformat}
<alter-type-stmt> ::= ALTER TYPE <typename> <instruction>
<instruction> ::= ALTER <field-name> TYPE <type>
| ADD <field-name> <type>
| RENAME <field-name> TO <field-name> ( AND <field-name> TO
<field-name> )*
{noformat}
> ALTER TYPE <name> RENAME TO <name> no longer parses as valid cql

> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Russ Hatch
>
> Type renaming seems to be broken. The error looks like perhaps the syntax has
> changed or there's a problem parsing the cql.
> {noformat}
> cqlsh:test> create type foo (somefield int);
> cqlsh:test> alter type foo rename to bar;
> <ErrorMessage code=2000 [Syntax error in CQL query] message="line 1:22 no
> viable alternative at input 'to' (alter type foo rename [to] bar...)">
