Support SQL data types in CQL
-----------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-2445
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2445
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Jonathan Ellis
Assignee: Jonathan Ellis
Fix For: 0.8
We should support SQL data types where possible:
(sql -> cassandra)
varint -> int
bigint -> long
varchar, text -> utf8
ascii -> ascii (not strictly correct -- sql defines collations for this -- but
close enough for a 1.0)
uuid -> uuid (see CASSANDRA-2233)
bytea -> bytes
IMO the right thing to do is _only_ support the SQL types from CQL, because
there is ambiguity otherwise (in particular with "int").
I believe the only changes needed is to the comparatorType definition in Cql.g
and to the corresponding Map in CreateColumnFamilyStatement.
