Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-1603:
-------------------------------------------
well, it would really have to be
{code}
get CF[key][column] as <type>
{code}
then if we remember that type so that
{code}
get CF[key]
{code}
shows column correctly, that should be fine.
> cli: allow entering binary data to columns with no metadata

> CASSANDRA-1578 adds support for when we have metadata for the column in the
> schema, but we should also allow manually turning a given string into a
> binary format.
> one option would be to allow something like
> {code}
> set CF[column]=timeuuid(12345678-1234-5678-1234-567812345678)
> {code}
> but this only allows data entry, and would not help when doing gets.
> maybe adding a cli command "assume column family with ..." would be best,
> allowing the operator to create local metadata that unlike "update
> columnfamily" doesn't get sent to the server. (saving the local metadata
> between cli sessions would be good.)
