-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for the review. Sorry for such long turnaround.
bq. The first commit has various nits, including some around making language a
bit more consistent.
Great. I did have the same idea; however at time {{Schema}} sounded like a more
logical place for it (mostly because {{trunk}} has this method there). But I
agree it makes the diff smaller, so it's good.
bq. In the parser, I was a bit worried about allowing empty strings in
QUOTED_NAME directly,
Completely agreed. I had the same idea, but my impression was since it's still
possible to programmatically create empty names, it's worth to have validations
anyways, so I went with the current approach. I agree this change might be
safer though...
bq. So I added it in SchemaAlteringStatement directly (and I've let changes on
keyspaces/non compact tables go because no real reason to refuse them). That's
the third commit.
You're right, the way it worked was any alterations that were allowed for
compact tables were still working (there are only few though). But for safety
it's better to disallow them.
I've extended and moved from {{NEWS.txt}} the section describing which columns
get exposed when; now this information is in the CQL appendix as we discussed.
I've changed wording a bit in both news and CQL appendix and got rid of
internal details. The doc changes are only in 3.11 patch as there's no doc
website in 3.0...

> Allow dropping COMPACT STORAGE flag from tables in 3.X
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-10857
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10857
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: CQL, Distributed Metadata
> Reporter: Aleksey Yeschenko
> Assignee: Alex Petrov
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 3.0.x, 3.11.x
>
>
> Thrift allows users to define flexible mixed column families - where certain
> columns would have explicitly pre-defined names, potentially non-default
> validation types, and be indexed.
> Example:
> {code}
> create column family foo
> and default_validation_class = UTF8Type
> and column_metadata = [
> {column_name: bar, validation_class: Int32Type, index_type: KEYS},
> {column_name: baz, validation_class: UUIDType, index_type: KEYS}
> ];
> {code}
> Columns named {{bar}} and {{baz}} will be validated as {{Int32Type}} and
> {{UUIDType}}, respectively, and be indexed. Columns with any other name will
> be validated by {{UTF8Type}} and will not be indexed.
> With CASSANDRA-8099, {{bar}} and {{baz}} would be mapped to static columns
> internally. However, being {{WITH COMPACT STORAGE}}, the table will only
> expose {{bar}} and {{baz}} columns. Accessing any dynamic columns (any column
> not named {{bar}} and {{baz}}) right now requires going through Thrift.
> This is blocking Thrift -> CQL migration for users who have mixed
> dynamic/static column families. That said, it *shouldn't* be hard to allow
> users to drop the {{compact}} flag to expose the table as it is internally
> now, and be able to access all columns.
