Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-2474:
-------------------------------------------
Reaching back into the past to reply to Rick:
bq. The keyword "AS" may be a bit confusing to SQL users. It is a optional
keyword that signifies that that the following word is to be taken has an alias
for the first word.
That's exactly how it's being used in [my proposals for] CQL: giving an alias
to a column ("componentX") that isn't very meaningful in a resultset.

> For the most part, this boils down to supporting the specification of
> compound column names (the CQL syntax is colon-delimted terms), and then
> teaching the decoders (drivers) to create structures from the results.
