Zach, this is embarrassing.....you were right, I was running 2.1!!!!
shame on me! but now I'm getting the error: *InvalidRequest: code=2200 [Invalid query] message="JSON values map contains unrecognized column: address"* any idea? This is the sequence of commands that I'm running: CREATE KEYSPACE json WITH REPLICATION = { 'class' :'SimpleStrategy', 'replication_factor' : 1 }; USE json; CREATE TYPE address (street text,city text,zip_code int,phones set<text>); CREATE TABLE users (id int PRIMARY KEY,name text,addresses map<text, frozen<address>>); INSERT INTO users JSON '{"id": 123,"name": "jbellis","address": {"home": { "street": "123 Cassandra Dr","city":"Austin","zip_code": 78747,"phones": [ 2101234567]}}}'; Consider that I'm running a "just downloaded" C2.2 instance (I'm on a mac) Thanks and sorry for the waste of time before!
