Jonathan Ellis resolved CASSANDRA-3660.
---------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
cli is kept around for backwards compatiblity at this point; cqlsh is "the
future."
> Change syntax of cli for creating column families to be more intuitive
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-3660
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3660
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Tools
> Reporter: Donald Smith
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently, the syntax for creating column families is like this:
> create column family Users
> with comparator=UTF8Type
> and default_validation_class=UTF8Type
> and key_validation_class=UTF8Type;
> It's not clear what "comparator" and "default_validation_class" refer to.
> Much clearer would be:
> create column family Users
> with column_name_comparator=UTF8Type
> and column_value_validation_class=UTF8Type
> and key_validation_class=UTF8Type;
> BTW, instead of "column_name_comparator", I'd actually prefer
> "column_key_comparator" since it seems more accurate to call column names
> "column keys."
