Stu Hood updated CASSANDRA-1437:
--------------------------------
Comment: was deleted
(was: Marking as related to 1436 but not dependent: it might be possible to
implement a clean solution to the "two possible defaults" problem by preserving
the fact that we have different objects in the private and public APIs. Public
APIs could remain unions of ["valid", "null"], with programmatic defaults, and
private APIs could call all fields required, and uses defaults.)
> Improve default handling/validation for config.Metadata objects

> Key: CASSANDRA-1437
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1437
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Stu Hood
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.7.0

>
> Post CASSANDRA-1436, we'll be back to single Avro objects to describe schemas
> for client and internal use: it would be a good opportunity to improve our
> handling of defaults and our validation of config.*Metadata objects.
> Right now, we have multiple ways to convert a CfDef to a CFMetaData object
> (for example), due to the differences between the defaults that should be
> chosen for a _new_ column family (when we receive the CfDef from a client),
> versus an _existing_ column family after a new setting has been added
> (deserializing a CfDef from disk). Finding a unified way to handle these two
> (potentially different) default values would be excellent.
