--------------------------------------

             Summary: LWT IF col = NULL is inconsistent with SQL NULL
                 Key: CASSANDRA-17762
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-17762
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: CQL/Semantics
            Reporter: Avi Kivity


In SQL, any comparison with NULL is NULL, which is interpreted as FALSE in a 
condition. To test for NULLness, you use IS NULL or IS NOT NULL.

But LWT uses IF col = NULL as a NULLness test. This is likely to confuse people 
coming from SQL and hamper attempts to extend the dialect.
