Aaron Morton commented on CASSANDRA-4245: ----------------------------------------- You're right, my thinking has been dogmatic. AARON and aaron are never equal, they are just sorted close to each other. Will see if I can hack up a LocalAwareUTF8Type() that takes a local as a type param. > Provide a UT8Type (case insensitive) comparator > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-4245 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4245 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Ertio Lew > Priority: Minor > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
