Appendix A: CQL Keywords
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CQL distinguishes between *reserved* and *non-reserved* keywords.
Reserved keywords cannot be used as identifier, they are truly reserved
for the language (but one can enclose a reserved keyword by
double-quotes to use it as an identifier). Non-reserved keywords however
only have a specific meaning in certain context but can used as
identifier otherwise. The only *raison d’être* of these non-reserved
keywords is convenience: some keyword are non-reserved when it was
always easy for the parser to decide whether they were used as keywords
or not.

Appendix B: CQL Reserved Types
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The following type names are not currently used by CQL, but are reserved
for potential future use. User-defined types may not use reserved type
names as their name.

+-----------------+
| type            |
+=================+
| ``bitstring``   |
+-----------------+
| ``byte``        |
+-----------------+
| ``complex``     |
+-----------------+
| ``enum``        |
+-----------------+
| ``interval``    |
+-----------------+
| ``macaddr``     |
+-----------------+


Appendix C: Dropping Compact Storage
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Starting version 4.0, Thrift and COMPACT STORAGE is no longer supported.

'ALTER ... DROP COMPACT STORAGE' statement makes Compact Tables CQL-compatible,
exposing internal structure of Thrift/Compact Tables:

- CQL-created Compact Tables that have no clustering columns, will expose an
  additional clustering column ``column1`` with ``UTF8Type``.
- CQL-created Compact Tables that had no regular columns, will expose a
  regular column ``value`` with ``BytesType``.
- For CQL-Created Compact Tables, all columns originally defined as
  ``regular`` will be come ``static``
- CQL-created Compact Tables that have clustering but have no regular
  columns will have an empty value column (of ``EmptyType``)
- SuperColumn Tables (can only be created through Thrift) will expose
  a compact value map with an empty name.
- Thrift-created Compact Tables will have types corresponding to their
  Thrift definition.
