    Its much more concise to just write `node1, node2, node3 = cluster.nodelist()`

> Thrift allows users to define flexible mixed column families - where certain columns would have explicitly pre-defined names, potentially non-default validation types, and be indexed.
> Example:
> {code}
> create column family foo
>     and default_validation_class = UTF8Type
>     and column_metadata = [
>         {column_name: bar, validation_class: Int32Type, index_type: KEYS},
>         {column_name: baz, validation_class: UUIDType, index_type: KEYS}
>     ];
> {code}
> Columns named {{bar}} and {{baz}} will be validated as {{Int32Type}} and {{UUIDType}}, respectively, and be indexed. Columns with any other name will be validated by {{UTF8Type}} and will not be indexed.
> With CASSANDRA-8099, {{bar}} and {{baz}} would be mapped to static columns internally. However, being {{WITH COMPACT STORAGE}}, the table will only expose {{bar}} and {{baz}} columns. Accessing any dynamic columns (any column not named {{bar}} and {{baz}}) right now requires going through Thrift.
> This is blocking Thrift -> CQL migration for users who have mixed dynamic/static column families. That said, it *shouldn't* be hard to allow users to drop the {{compact}} flag to expose the table as it is internally now, and be able to access all columns.
