Tupshin Harper created CASSANDRA-6710: -----------------------------------------
Summary: Support union types Key: CASSANDRA-6710 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6710 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: Improvement Components: API, Core Reporter: Tupshin Harper Priority: Minor I sometimes find myself wanting to abuse Cassandra datatypes when I want to interleave two different types in the same column. An example is in CASSANDRA-6167 where an approach is to tag what would normally be a numeric field with text indicating that it is special in some ways. A more elegant approach would be to be able to explicitly define disjoint unions in the style of Haskell's and Scala's Either types. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
