> Currently, if I want to perform range query on lexical type I need to do something like this:
> {code}
> SELECT * FROM profile WHERE profile_id = 123 AND
>                   attribute > 'interests.food.' AND
>                   attribute < 'interests.food.z';
> {code}
> This is very efficient range query. Yet, many users who are not familiar with Thrift and storage level implementation are unaware of this "trick".
> Therefore, it would be convenient to introduce CQL keyword which will do this more simply:
> {code}
> SELECT * FROM profile WHERE profile_id = 123 AND
>                   attribute START_WITH('interests.food.');
> {code}
> Keyword would have same restrictions as other inequality search operators plus some type restrictions.
> Allowed types would be:
>  * {{ascii}}
>  * {{text}} / {{varchar}}
>  * {{inet}} (?)
>  * {{map<text, *>}} (same for ascii) (?)
>  * {{set<text>}} (same for ascii) (?)
> (?) may require more work, therefore optional
