I don't see wide row support going away since they specifically made the change to enable 2 billion columns in a row according to that paper.

I just discovered when speaking to another potential DSE customer that wide rows, or rather columns not defined in the metadata aren't supported in CQL 3. I'm curious to understand the reasoning behind this, whether this is an intentional direction shift away from the big table paradigm, and what's supposed to happen to those of us who have already bought into C* specifically because of the wide row support. What is our upgrade path?
