Andres de la Peña updated CASSANDRA-18037:
------------------------------------------
Description:
Most native functions are named all lower case, without underscore nor hyphen
to separate words. That's the case, for example, of "intasblob" or "blobasint".
We also have some functions using camel case, as in "castAsInt" or
"castAsTimestamp". Note that the came cased names require quoting due to CQL's
case insensitivity.
Differently to CQL native functions, system keyspaces, tables and columns
consistently use snake case. For example, we have "system_schema",
"dropped_columns", "default_time_to_live".
As discussed in [this
thread|https://lists.apache.org/thread/k9ml1k4fg6o7mfby1nr3y0mnq9r90dym], we
should adopt snake_case for CQL native function names. Also we should provide
aliases for the current function names, so we don't break compatibility.
