Ryan King updated CASSANDRA-1205:
---------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 0.8)
1.0
> Unify Partitioners and AbstractTypes
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-1205
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1205
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Stu Hood
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 1.0
>
>
> There is no good reason for Partitioners to have different semantics than
> AbstractTypes. Instead, we should probably have 2 partitioners: Random and
> Ordered, where the Ordered partitioner requires an AbstractType to be
> specified, defaulting to BytesType.
> One solution [suggested by
> jbellis|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-767?focusedCommentId=12841565&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12841565]
> is to have AbstractType generate a collation id (essentially, a Token) for a
> set of bytes.
> Looking forward, we should probably consider laying the groundwork to add
> native support for compound row keys here as well.
