------------------------------------------
Summary: Use snake case for the names of CQL native functions (was: Use
snake case for the names CQL native functions)
> Use snake case for the names of CQL native functions
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-18037
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-18037
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: CQL/Syntax
> Reporter: Andres de la Peña
> Assignee: Andres de la Peña
> Priority: Normal
> Fix For: 5.x
>
>
> 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.
