--------------------------------------------------------------------
I agree. "column_value_validator" is better than "column_value_validation".
It's more parallel with "column_name_comparator".
Another option is to use "column_name_type" and "column_value_type"! Those
would be natural. Not sure they're descriptive.
BTW, there are row keys and there are column keys. So column_value_validator
(or column_value_type) might be better than column_name_validator (or
column_name_type), since column names are NOT like column names in a relational
database table. Column names can vary for each row, so they're more like keys.

> According to

> the syntax for creating column families in cqlsh uses keywords

> Better, more descriptive names for these would be

> or perhaps better yet
> "column_key_comparator" and "column_value_validation".
> Two other people on the cassandra users' mailing list agreed with this

> The existing syntax is unclear and confusing to beginners.
