Hi all, I'm looking at the specification of statement preparation (section 4.2.5.4 of the CQL protocol) and I'm wondering whether the metadata result of the PREPARE query only returns column information for the query arguments, and not for the columns of the actual query result.
The background is that we're changing gocql to expose this column information to applications in a more useful way and we've noticed that we only get the query argument meta data back from the server. In practice, this might not be an issue, since the RESULT ROWS contains the necessary column metadata. But I was wondering if we were doing something wrong by not returning the result meta data from the PREPARE result (if it does indeed exist). Can anybody shed any light on this? Thanks, Ben
