                 Key: CASSANDRA-3663
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3663
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Tools
            Reporter: Donald Smith
            Priority: Minor


According to 
http://crlog.info/2011/09/17/cassandra-query-language-cql-v2-0-reference/#Column+Family+Options+%28optional%29
the syntax for creating column families in cqlsh uses keywords

    "comparator"  and "default_validation".

Better, more descriptive names for these would be

    "column_name_comparator"  and "column_value_validation"

or perhaps better yet

    "column_key_comparator"  and "column_value_validation".

Two other people on the cassandra users' mailing list agreed with this 
suggestion.

The existing syntax is unclear and confusing to beginners.
