paul cannon commented on CASSANDRA-4217:
----------------------------------------
I've dealt with a couple people recently who were quite confused about
timestamps- thinking that column values or names which happened to be of cql
type "timestamp" were the same thing as column timestamps. It might be helpful
if we had some sort of different terminology for these. Something more
different than "timestampof" or "ts". "coltimestamp", at least, or maybe
something like "writetime"?
Not to bikeshed unnecessarily, but that extra data point may help.
> Easy access to column timestamps (and maybe ttl) during queries

> It would be interesting to allow accessing the timestamp/ttl of a column
> though some syntax like
> {noformat}
> SELECT key, value, timestamp(value) FROM foo;
> {noformat}
> and the same for ttl.
> I'll note that currently timestamp and ttl are returned in the resultset
> because it includes thrift Column object, but adding such syntax would make
> our future protocol potentially simpler as we wouldn't then have to care
> about timestamps explicitely (and more compact in general as we would only
> return timestamps when asked)
