Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-4212:
---------------------------------------------
First, I'm slightly confused by the patch with respect to the description of
this ticket. Are we talking about aliasing the underlying column "name" or
"value". The description does suggest the value (for which validation has been
added by the 2nd patch of CASSANDRA-4185) but the patch remove the validation
for the name.
That being said, I'll assume you mean that the "value" shouldn't be required to
be aliased, because I can't make sense of it for the column name. And I'll also
suspect you're talking of the case where you're not interested by the column
values and want them to always be empty. If so, I could agree it may be worth
supporting that, but we'd need to at least modify the insertion to
automatically use an EMPTY_BYTE_BUFFER for the value in that case, otherwise
there will be no way to insert data on such column family.
But the last thing adding to my confusion is that system.NodeIdInfo does store
information in the column values, so I'm not totally sure I understand the
suggestion here.
