[jira] [Created] (CASSANDRA-6060) Remove internal use of Strings for ks/cf namaes

Jonathan Ellis created CASSANDRA-6060:
-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Remove internal use of Strings for ks/cf namaes
                 Key: CASSANDRA-6060
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6060
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core
            Reporter: Jonathan Ellis
             Fix For: 2.1


We toss a lot of Strings around internally, including across the network.  Once a request has been Prepared, we ought to be able to encode these as int ids.

Unfortuntely, we moved from int to uuid in CASSANDRA-3794, which was a reasonable move at the time, but a uuid is a lot bigger than an int.  Now that we have CAS we can allow concurrent schema updates while still using sequential int IDs.
