This is only a problem when upgrading from thrift to CQL. Forbidding "key"
as a column name in thrift would be weird to say the least.
What could be done is that CQL could, when it picks the default name it
uses, pick one that is not used already. That's definitively possible
and please do open a JIRA ticket for that.
But at the end of the day, if you are going to use CQL, I highly suggest
picking meaningful names for your CQL columns, so you will want
to rename the default name that CQL picks for the row key initially.
