Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-9901:
---------------------------------------------
bq. Or, if you prefer, I don't mind having an abstract
{{isByteOrderComparable()}} and memoizing the result of it to a boolean
property during construction.
Nah, I'm fine with the enum after all. I do like the option of being able to
declare the type as incomparable to enforce it's never used in a clustering.
> Make AbstractType.isByteOrderComparable abstract

> I can't recall _precisely_ what was agreed at the NGCC, but I'm reasonably
> sure we agreed to make this method abstract, put some javadoc explaining we
> may require fields to yield true in the near future, and potentially log a
> warning on startup if a user-defined type returns false.
> This should make it into 3.0, IMO, so that we can look into migrating to
> byte-order comparable types in the post-3.0 world.
