Aleksey Yeschenko commented on CASSANDRA-5224:
----------------------------------------------
Oh I won't argue that it's somewhat confusing. DESCRIBE TABLE will *NOT* output
WITH COMPACT STORAGE only for sparse composite cfs. Read CFDefinition
constructor code if you are interested in the details (and/or
pylib/cqlshlib/cql3handling.py lines 1466:1478 for my take on it).
> alter table add in CQL3 allows adding columns to COMPACT STORAGE tables

> Key: CASSANDRA-5224
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5224
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.2.1
> Reporter: Michael Kjellman
> Assignee: Aleksey Yeschenko
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.2.2
>
>
> From the docs:
> These additions to a table are not allowed:
> Adding a column having the same name as an existing column.
> Adding columns to tables defined with COMPACT STORAGE.
> however, this still works against a domain defined with COMPACT STORAGE in
> cqlsh
> it appears that the metadata, however, is not defined correctly.
