Jon Hermes commented on CASSANDRA-2396: --------------------------------------- Unrelated to this ticket but stumbled upon, moved convertToCFMD(thrift CfDef) into CFMD. It had no business being in CassandraServer. > Allow key name metadata > ----------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-2396 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2396 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: API > Reporter: Jonathan Ellis > Assignee: Jon Hermes > Fix For: 0.8 > > Attachments: 2396.txt > > > CASSANDRA-2311 allows typed keys. We also want to allow giving keys a name > (that would need to conform to the CF comparator). This is required for Hive > support; HIVE-1434 currently stores that metadata in an external repository > but it would be cleaner to keep it in CFMetadata. This would allow CQL to > support using the key name in select and where clauses, reducing the > impedance mismatch between JDBC/CQL and JDBC/Hive. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
