futureproof [KS|CF]MetaData
---------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-1186
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1186
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core
Affects Versions: 0.7
Reporter: Jonathan Ellis
Priority: Critical
Fix For: 0.7
KSMetaData/CFMetaData serialization is fragile. We need to be able to add
fields easily without breaking when we read old-style serialized bytes.
Avro and Thrift are designed to handle this. We should probably use one of
those rather than re-inventing the wheel. If Avro is mature enough for this
then let's use that, otherwise let's use Thrift.
