-------------------------------------------
Summary: Remove or lift arbitrary hard limit on names of schema
elements.
Key: CASSANDRA-8973
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8973
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Sergey Nagaytsev
ERROR: "Column family names shouldn't be more than 48 characters long"
Why 48 ? Why not 64, 256, or 8 like in good old DOS filenames ?
I have schema generated from XML, it makes names by concatenation for some
kinds of column families, used as manual indexes.
I did all my best for shortening of column names, since they repeat every time
in data (is that true for CQL 3.0.0 ?), but I feel so sad about the necessity
of adding extra shortening logic to other places.
