Eric Evans commented on CASSANDRA-1186:
---------------------------------------
bq. I imagine something similar applies to Avro, since this is very much a use
case it is designed for.
It can. This is the purpose of a default in Avro (as confusing as that has
proven to be).

> 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
> Assignee: Gary Dusbabek
> 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.
