What if I need to query by list items?
1. Jeremy, with blob field (ByteBuffer), I can query exact matches (just
encode the value in query), but greater/less than queries would not work.
Any sort of serialization kills "native" ways to query data
2. Even with user defined types, I would need to define separate fields for
each value. Running queries would be cumbersome (something like WHERE items
CONTAINS {'text_value': 'foobar'} or WHERE items CONTAINS {'int_value': 3}.
Pavel, did you mean like this?
I'm running 2.1rc1 with python driver 2.0.2.
