Allow periods in secondary index column names
---------------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-2348
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2348
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Wish
Components: API
Reporter: David Semeria
Priority: Minor
Premise: it is natural to map JSON objects to column names using periods to
denote the object hierarchy.
For example {food:{fruit;{a:apples,b:bananas,c:cherries}}}
Would map to the following CF names: food.fruit.a, food.fruit.b, food.fruit.c
However, secondary index names cannot contain periods which means workarounds
(ie denormalization) must be used to index such columns.
It would be nice if this restriction could be removed.
