Carl Yeksigian updated CASSANDRA-12443:
---------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 3.0.x)
3.x
Status: Patch Available (was: Open)
There was a failure from the UDT changes; the rest seem more related to the
fact that this hasn't been rebased in awhile. In order to seperate that out,
I've added the commit fixing the test onto the branches above, but pushed new
branches which have been rebased to test:

> Remove alter type support

> Key: CASSANDRA-12443
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12443
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Carl Yeksigian

> Fix For: 3.x

>
> Currently, we allow altering of types. However, because we no longer store
> the length for all types anymore, switching from a fixed-width to
> variable-width type causes issues. commitlog playback breaking startup,
> queries currently in flight getting back bad results, and special casing
> required to handle the changes. In addition, this would solve
> CASSANDRA-10309, as there is no possibility of the types changing while an
> SSTableReader is open.
> For fixed-length, compatible types, the alter also doesn't add much over a
> cast, so users could use that in order to retrieve the altered type.
