Add an AbstractType anytype which stores meta data on a per column basis
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-3281
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3281
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Edward Capriolo
Priority: Minor
A pet project of mine is an AbstractType for Cassandra that stores metadata of
the type in the column. https://github.com/edwardcapriolo/Cassandra-AnyType
I described my use case any my design decisions here.
https://github.com/edwardcapriolo/Cassandra-AnyType/blob/master/README . The
biggest cases were needing to support null and '' as keys, column names, and
column values, however I also think the technique used to serialize Java
Objects as JSON but compare as a Java object is novel.
Side node: (The AbstractType interface has changed multiple times between
0.6.X, 0.7.X, and 1.0.0-beta. I hope it stabilizes! )
If people would like AnyType (or parts of it ) incorporated into Cassandra that
would be great. I am willing to tweak change it based on other peoples ideas.
