Oded Peer commented on CASSANDRA-11424:
---------------------------------------
Since new syntax was added for JSON select and insert support I feel
comfortable adding new constructs for the new syntax.
Therefore I suggest adding a new keyword to the JSON insert statement adding an
optional keyword "IGNORE_OMITTED" which controls the effect of omitted columns.
Insert statements with IGNORE_OMITTED will not create tombstones for omitted
columns.
> Add support to "unset" JSON fields in prepared statements

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11424
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Ralf Steppacher
>
> CASSANDRA-7304 introduced the ability to distinguish between {{NULL}} and
> {{UNSET}} prepared statement parameters.
> When inserting JSON objects it is not possible to profit from this as a
> prepared statement only has one parameter that is bound to the JSON object as
> a whole. There is no way to control {{NULL}} vs {{UNSET}} behavior for
> columns omitted from the JSON object.
> Please extend on CASSANDRA-7304 to include JSON support.
> {color:grey}
> (My personal requirement is to be able to insert JSON objects with optional
> fields without incurring the overhead of creating a tombstone of every column
> not covered by the JSON object upon initial(!) insert.)
