Change syntax of cqlsh for creating column families to be more descriptive for
"comparator" and "default_validation"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-3663
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3663
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Tools
Reporter: Donald Smith
Priority: Minor
According to
http://crlog.info/2011/09/17/cassandra-query-language-cql-v2-0-reference/#Column+Family+Options+%28optional%29
the syntax for creating column families in cqlsh uses keywords
"comparator" and "default_validation".
Better, more descriptive names for these would be
"column_name_comparator" and "column_value_validation"
or perhaps better yet
"column_key_comparator" and "column_value_validation".
Two other people on the cassandra users' mailing list agreed with this
suggestion.
The existing syntax is unclear and confusing to beginners.
