---------------------------------------
The docs should be updated too (patch attached), otherwise, LGTM. +1

> 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 in CQL CREATE
> statements, because there is ambiguity otherwise (in particular with "int").
