This is a focused discussion stream to contemplate future CQL syntax as we add new features.
Succinctly, I proposed to ratify the use of SQL syntax when possible when adding new features. Prior work demonstrating that this can be successful is CEP-52. Needed to add labels to schema, took the previously art in PostgreSQL and used it. This is NOT a proposal to backport or retrofit syntax. What is already in CQL is a part of the spec. The separate topic of adding full SQL support will be in a different DISCUSS thread. The guidance for new feature developers would be: - Review existing SQL syntax for your feature - If there are extraordinary reasons to now use SQL syntax, enumerate them in the CEP - Performance and correctness take precedence.
