----------------------------------------
Summary: len() function to retrieve the serialized size of a
column / cell
Key: CASSANDRA-11704
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11704
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Robert Stupp
Assignee: Robert Stupp
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 3.x
Sometimes it's helpful to select the serialized size of a column/cell for
debugging purposes.
Having a function like {{len(x)}} that accepts every type and just returns the
serialized size would be helpful and is more readable than pages of raw text or
even blob output in cqlsh.
Such a function could take a whole column and also individual elements of
non-frozen collections.
With such a function, one can build a UDA that produces a histogram over
multiple CQL rows. But that's just an add-on that people can build (not
considered for this ticket).
