Peter Lin created CASSANDRA-4964:
------------------------------------
Summary: Return column metadata for dynamic columns
Key: CASSANDRA-4964
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4964
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core
Affects Versions: 1.1.6
Reporter: Peter Lin
Currently, org.apache.cassandra.thrift.CqlMetadata doesn't return the column
name and value metadata for dynamic columns. If I execute a query against a
dynamic column that was inserted through thrift or hector, the name and/or
value type may not be the same as the default types declared in the column
family definition.
If the dynamic column was inserted through CQL, it will conform to the defined
default types for column name and value. Even in that case, it is still nice to
have the metadata returned. That will facilitate developing tools for CQL and
make it easier on people writing drivers for Cassandra.
I'm willing to contribute to this, if someone points me to the right place.
I've read a lot of the core cassandra code, but I haven't gone through all of
CQL yet.
