Aleksey Yeschenko commented on CASSANDRA-5224:
----------------------------------------------
bq. it appears that the metadata, however, is not defined correctly.
Can you elaborate?
As for adding a column - not all tables defined with COMPACT STORAGE are in
fact 'compact' as far as CFDefinition is concerned. It's allowed to add columns
to pre-cql3 'static' cfs, even though you have to defined them with COMPACT
STORAGE in cql3 (won't use a composite comparator under the hood).
> alter table add in CQL3 allows adding columns to COMPACT STORAGE tables
