Aleksey Yeschenko commented on CASSANDRA-7248:
----------------------------------------------
I don't think it is. You can emulate 6710 w/ tuples, but it's not a direct
clone.

> Key: CASSANDRA-7248
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7248
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Sylvain Lebresne
> Assignee: Sylvain Lebresne
> Labels: cql3
> Fix For: 2.1 rc1
>
>
> For CASSANDRA-6875 we need to be able to talk about tuples values and types
> (for prepared variables). Since we need it there, clients will need to
> support them anyway and so I think it would be a lot cleaner to start
> supporting those more generally. Besides, having tuples is a relatively
> simple and natural extension to what we have. I'll note in particular that
> tuple have a close relationship to user type in the sense that a tuple will
> be really just like an anonymous with no name for the fields and in
> particular a tuple value will be the same than a user type value.
> The syntax would simply look like that:
> {noformat}
> CREATE TABLE foo (
> k int PRIMARY KEY,
> v tuple<int, text, float>
> )
> INSERT INTO foo(k, v) VALUES(0, (3, 'bar', 2.1));
> {noformat}
> We can also add projections in selects if we want:
> {noformat}
> SELECT v[0], v[2] FROM foo WHERE k = 0;
> {noformat}
> but that can come later (after all, we still don't have projections for
> collections and it's not a big deal).
