--------------------------------------
Summary: Can't specify certain keyspace properties in CQL
Key: CASSANDRA-4278
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4278
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core
Affects Versions: 1.0.1
Reporter: paul cannon
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 1.1.1
A user using EC2MultiRegionSnitch, where the datacenter name has to match the
AWS region names, will not be able to specify a keyspace's replica counts for
those datacenters using CQL. AWS region names contain hyphens, which are not
valid identifiers in CQL, and CQL keyspace/columnfamily properties must be
identifiers or identifiers separated by colons.
Example:
{noformat}
CREATE KEYSPACE Foo
WITH strategy_class = 'NetworkTopologyStrategy'
AND strategy_options:"us-east"=1
AND strategy_options:"us-west"=1;
{noformat}
(see
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/cassandra-user/201205.mbox/browser for
context)
..will not currently work, with or without the double quotes.
CQL should either allow hyphens in COMPIDENT, or allow quoted parts of a
COMPIDENT token.
