Kazuomi Kashii updated GORA-138:
--------------------------------
Attachment: GORA-138-v2.patch
Since all related patches (GORA-131, 132, 133, 134, and 139) have been applied
to trunk, I created a new patch for GORA-138.
Also, I have cleaned up duplicated code in gora-cassandra.

> In order to support ARRAY in gora-cassandra, we have two scenarios as follows:
> 1) super column family like the current MAP implementation; or
> 2) single column to store all elements of ARRAY.
> Each senario has pros and cons, but I'd prefer 1) and I have implemented a
> prototype.
> 1) super column family
> ** pros
> - consistent with MAP
> - each column stores primitive type value.
> ** cons
> - ARRAY cannot be contained in RECORD or MAP.
> 2) single column
> ** pros
> - complex type such as RECORD and MAP can have ARRAY value.
> ** cons
> - large size of ARRAY requres a huge single column value.
> - difficult to implement for STRING and BYTES (variable length).
> Currently, super column is used for other complex types such as RECORD and
> MAP,
> so it is consistent to use super column for ARRAY.
> Considering this, the rule that complex type cannot have complex type value
> seems a reasonable limitation, and it makes rule simple.
> If we take 1) senario with super column family,
> I can provide a patch of my implementation.
