I think it comes down to having full time tech writers employed and paid. If Datastax has the $$ to provide a significant benefit to the community (well thought out documentation) that's better than little or no documentation (if it was only done via developers who most likely won't document or do a poor job at documentation).
Having some documentation is much better for the community than the alternative that "the code is the documentation". Nothing is free.

Could someone please explain how can I instantiate a *TupleType*? I have the same question for *Map* type. Thanks for your help. === Best Regards
