CQL 3 tables created without COMPACT STORAGE store all keys and columns using Composite Types. They also store some additional columns you may not expect. If you want to interrop with thrift based API's like PIG it's best to use COMPACT STORAGE. You can always create CF's the old way using the cassandra-cli.
