Rocco Varela updated CASSANDRA-15908:
-------------------------------------
    Description: 
When attempting to create an index on a frozen collection the error message 
produced can be improved to provide more detail about the problem and possible 
workarounds. Currently, a user will receive a message indicating "...Frozen 
collections only support full() indexes" which is not immediately clear for 
users new to Cassandra indexing and datatype compatibility.

Here is an example:
{code:java}
cqlsh> CREATE KEYSPACE test WITH replication = {'class': 'SimpleStrategy', 
'replication_factor': 1};

cqlsh> CREATE TABLE test.mytable ( id int primary key, addresses 
frozen<set<text>> );

cqlsh> CREATE INDEX mytable_addresses_idx on test.mytable (addresses);
 InvalidRequest: Error from server: code=2200 [Invalid query] message="Cannot 
create values() index on frozen column addresses. Frozen collections only 
support full() indexes"{code}
 

I'm proposing possibly enhancing the messaging to something like this.
{quote}Cannot create values() index on frozen column addresses. Frozen 
collections only support indexes on the entire data structure due to 
immutability constraints of being frozen, wrap your frozen column with the 
full() target type to index properly.

Cannot create values() index on frozen column addresses. Frozen collections 
only support indexes on the entire data structure due to immutability 
constraints of being frozen, wrap your frozen column with the full() target
