Change syntax of cli for creating column families to be more intuitive
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-3660
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3660
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Tools
Reporter: Donald Smith
Priority: Minor
Currently, the syntax for creating column families is like this:
create column family Users
with comparator=UTF8Type
and default_validation_class=UTF8Type
and key_validation_class=UTF8Type;
It's not clear what "comparator" and "default_validation_class" refer to. Much
clearer would be:
create column family Users
with column_name_comparator=UTF8Type
and column_value_validation_class=UTF8Type
and key_validation_class=UTF8Type;
BTW, instead of "column_name_comparator", I'd actually prefer
"column_key_comparator" since it seems more accurate to call column names
"column keys."
