Benjamin Lerer updated CASSANDRA-12443: --------------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed Fix Version/s: (was: 3.x) 3.10 3.0.11 Status: Resolved (was: Ready to Commit) Committed into 3.0 at 5f66d48b38d32d3768c78f16753ed4f2095bbede and merged into 3.11 and trunk > Remove alter type support > ------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-12443 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12443 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Carl Yeksigian > Assignee: Carl Yeksigian > Fix For: 3.0.11, 3.10 > > > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
