Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-1497:
-------------------------------------------
The main reason for going with a binary format initially instead of plaintext
was that, at the time, we had limited information about
column types.
Now that we have column_metadata we've been moving towards more human-readable
formats (e.g. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1933). Key types
are newer (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2311) but the same
principle applies.
Sure feels like (typed) json would be a better fit today than Avro or Thrift.
