> This proposal introduces the ability to add comments and security labels to Cassandra schema elements such as keyspaces, tables, columns, and UDTs. Users/Operators can embed human-readable explanations and business context directly into the schema, transforming Cassandra into a more self-documenting system. Comments improve comprehension, onboarding, troubleshooting, and long-term maintainability, while security labels provide a mechanism to mark elements with descriptors such as "PII" for sensitive data. Although security labels are purely descriptive in this proposal and do not alter Cassandra's authorization model, they establish a foundation for future integrations where external providers could enforce policies based on assigned labels, thereby enhancing both documentation and governance capabilities.
