[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-3281) Add an AbstractType anytype
which stores meta data on a per column basis
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3281?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13185092#comment-13185092 ]
Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-3281:
---------------------------------------------
If we added support for null values in DynamicCompositeType (which I think wouldn't be too hard), with CASSANDRA-3657 (which is not perfect I understand but would allow to add new DCT aliases on-demand) and with CASSANDRA-3625, would there be still a lot of missing things?

> A pet project of mine is an AbstractType for Cassandra that stores metadata of the type in the column. https://github.com/edwardcapriolo/Cassandra-AnyType
> I described my use case any my design decisions here. https://github.com/edwardcapriolo/Cassandra-AnyType/blob/master/README . The biggest cases were needing to support null and '' as keys, column names, and column values, however I also think the technique used to serialize Java Objects as JSON but compare as a Java object is novel.
> Side node: (The AbstractType interface has changed multiple times between 0.6.X, 0.7.X, and 1.0.0-beta. I hope it stabilizes! )
> If people would like AnyType (or parts of it ) incorporated into Cassandra that would be great. I am willing to tweak change it based on other peoples ideas.
