Pavel Yaskevich commented on CASSANDRA-4795:
--------------------------------------------

bq. But fundamentally creating a last_seen_versions table with cfname (ksname?) 
is simply not that onerous and is the Right Thing To Do.

For that specific case it's actually not worth it because it's always a single 
version as there is no reason to keep older version around, so creating 
separate CF for one row with empty value is overkill as specially as it's even 
not read that often and query wouldn't be as convenient as it was with describe 
keyspace for that single piece of data.

bq. -1 from me, I get that change is painful for people who are abusing schema 
right now but we really shouldn't be encouraging this.

It's usually one/two attributes that go there so I think it's pretty convenient 
to store it that way instead of dealing with separate CF/querying, but I'm 
welcome to new ideas
