Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-4245:
---------------------------------------------
I'm more concerned with proliferating comparators when another solution is just
as good. The cost of supporting comparators runs deep into clients, hadoop,
pig, and more, and I feel like we've already taken one misstep with DateType,
which is just a long underneath (and a timestamp as a long would've worked just
fine instead.)
> Provide a UT8Type (case insensitive) comparator

> It is a common use case to use a bunch of entity names as column names & then
> use the row as a search index, using search by range. For such use cases &
> others, it is useful to have a UTF8 comparator that provides case insensitive
> ordering of columns.
