Allow key name metadata
-----------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-2396
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2396
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: API
Reporter: Jonathan Ellis
Assignee: Jon Hermes
Fix For: 0.8
CASSANDRA-2311 allows typed keys. We also want to allow giving keys a name
(that would need to conform to the CF comparator). This is required for Hive
support; HIVE-1434 currently stores that metadata in an external repository but
it would be cleaner to keep it in CFMetadata. This would allow CQL to support
using the key name in select and where clauses, reducing the impedance mismatch
between JDBC/CQL and JDBC/Hive.
