Nate McCall commented on CASSANDRA-3657:
----------------------------------------
After modifying the column family (for posterity, I'm going to state here that
you do need to modify the comparator declaration to "extend" it) with the above
command on the cli:
{code}
update column family CountryStateCity with comparator =
'CompositeType(UTF8Type,UTF8Type,UTF8Type,LongType)';
{code}
Inserts of three and four values from Hector both work correctly (where the
fourth value is a LongType of course).
All unit tests pass, so LGTM.

> Quoting Sylvain from CASSANDRA-2474,
> bq. if you declare a comparator like CompositeType(IntType, UUIDType,
> UTF8Type), you can have columns that have only some prefix of the component
> (typically '42:92d21d0a-d6cb-437c-9d3f-b67aa733a19f' is a valid column name
> for that comparator), and as a consequence it would be possible to allow
> 'extend' the preceding comparator to say CompositeType(IntType, UUIDType,
> UTF8Type, IntType)
