Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-2475:
-------------------------------------------

The thinking being that it's easier for a client to encode as string?

That's a reasonable point, but having been up close and personal with both of 
our existing client APIs I'd say that saving a 20-line encode case statement is 
not going to make much difference in pain there.  On the other hand, the 
efficiency wins from receiving the data in "native" encoded format seem 
substantial (one of the most common data types, numerics, is particularly 
inefficient to decode-from-string).
