Can super column family use column_metadata?

[Donal Zang <za...@ihep.ac.cn>]

Hi,
I'm using 0.7.0-rc1,and when I use cassandra-cli to create a column 
family with metadata, I got "null",and no column family is created.
The command I use is:

/create keyspace test;
use test;
create column family test1 with column_type = 'Super' and comparator = 
'LongType' and column_metadata 
=[{column_name:a,validation_class:LongType}];/

And also the examples gived by "help create column family;" won't work!

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Looks like a bug in the CLI:

The first two work fine for me.  The third has an column name that
conflicts with the comparator definition; I've fixed that in r1043274.
 This works:

create column family Foo with comparator=UTF8Type and
column_metadata=[{ column_name:test, validation_class:IntegerType,
index_type:0, index_name:TextIdx}, { column_name:'other name',
validation_class:LongType }];
