----------------------------------------------
This is probably something that should seek consensus on the ML.
> 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
> Priority: Normal
> Fix For: 4.x

>
> 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.
