Jonathan Ellis resolved CASSANDRA-8973.
---------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Because the full sstable path name needs to be under 255, and limiting table
names (which are included in the path) helps stay under that limit.
> Remove or lift arbitrary hard limit on names of schema elements.

> 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.
