Aleksey Yeschenko commented on CASSANDRA-9745:
----------------------------------------------
I'm not a fan of using UDFs for anything internal. It's likely that we won't
have a bullet-proof sandbox any time soon, if it's at all possible, and I don't
want users to switch the UDF toggle for it.
SQL already has a perfectly reasonable CONSTRAINT/CHECK syntax for this kind of
validation.
> Allow validating values through a UDF

> Key: CASSANDRA-9745
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9745
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Sylvain Lebresne
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.x

>
> The only server side validation we do for values is currently that they match
> their type. Now that we have UDFs, we could allow to optionally specify a
> (boolean) value validation function on a per-column basis. This would give us
> a pretty generic way of validating value, which sounds useful to me.
> Once we have that, we could even add some syntactic sugar for some common
> type of validations, like {{v int[0..100]}} for numbers between 0 and 100, or
> {{v text[20]}} for a string that is not longer than 20, ... That's more of a
> follow up however.
