> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Benedict
> Priority: Minor
>
> It seems like it would be useful to support an enum data type, that
> automatically converts string data from the user into a fixed-width data type
> with guaranteed uniqueness across the cluster. This data would be replicated
> to all nodes for lookup, but ideally would use only the keyspace RF to
> determine nodes for coordinating quorum writes/consistency.
> This would not only permit improved local disk and inter-node network IO for
> symbology information (e.g. stock tickers, ISINs, etc), but also potentially
> for column identifiers also, which are currently stored as their full string
> representation.
> It should be possible then with later updates to propagate the enum map
> (lazily) to clients through the native protocol, reducing network IO further.
