-G1GC Recommended
-----------------
-    - The G1 settings in jvm8-server.options and jvm11-server.options are updated according to broad feedback
-      and testing. The G1 settings remain commented out by default in 4.1.x. It is recommended to switch
-      to G1 for performance and for simpler GC tuning. CMS is already deprecated in JDK9, and the next major
-      release of Cassandra makes G1 the default configuration.
+New features
+------------
+    - Added new Mathematical CQL functions: abs, exp, log, log10 and round.
+    - Added a trie-based memtable implementation, which improves memory use, garbage collection efficiency and lookup
+      performance. The new memtable is implemented by the TrieMemtable class and can be selected using the memtable
+      API, see src/java/org/apache/cassandra/db/memtable/Memtable_API.md.
+    - Added a new trie-indexed SSTable format with better lookup efficiency and size. The new format removes the index
+      summary component and does not require key caching. Additionally, it is able to efficiently search in partitions
+      spanning thousands or millions of rows.
+      The format is applied by setting "bti" as the selected sstable format in cassandra.yaml's sstables option.
+    - Added a new configuration cdc_on_repair_enabled to toggle whether CDC mutations are replayed through the
+      write path on streaming, e.g. repair. When enabled, CDC data streamed to the destination node will be written into
+      commit log first. When disabled, the streamed CDC data is written into SSTables just the same as normal streaming.
+      If this is set to false, streaming will be considerably faster however it's possible that, in extreme situations
+      (losing > quorum # nodes in a replica set), you may have data in your SSTables that never makes it to the CDC log.
+      The default is true/enabled. The configuration can be altered via JMX.
+    - Added support for reading the write times and TTLs of the elements of collections and UDTs, regardless of being
+      frozen or not. The CQL functions writetime, maxwritetime and ttl can now be applied to entire collections/UDTs,
+      single collection/UDT elements and slices of collection/UDT elements.
+    - Added a new CQL function, maxwritetime. It shows the largest unix timestamp that the data was written, similar to
+      its sibling CQL function, writetime.
+    - New Guardrails added:
+      - Whether ALTER TABLE commands are allowed to mutate columns
+      - Whether SimpleStrategy is allowed on keyspace creation or alteration
+      - Maximum replication factor
+      - Whether DROP KEYSPACE commands are allowed.
+      - Column value size
+      - Partition size
+    - It is possible to list ephemeral snapshots by nodetool listsnaphots command when flag "-e" is specified.
+    - Added a new flag to `nodetool profileload` and JMX endpoint to set up recurring profile load generation on specified
+      intervals (see CASSANDRA-17821)
+    - Added a new property, gossiper.loose_empty_enabled, to allow for a looser definition of "empty" when
+      considering the heartbeat state of another node in Gossip. This should only be used by knowledgeable
+      operators in the following scenarios:
+
+      Currently "empty" w/regards to heartbeat state in Gossip is very specific to a single edge case (i.e. in
+      isEmptyWithoutStatus() our usage of hbState() + applicationState), however there are other failure cases which
+      block host replacements and require intrusive workarounds and human intervention to recover from when you
+      have something in hbState() you don't expect. See CASSANDRA-17842 for further details.
+    - Added new CQL table property 'allow_auto_snapshot' which is by default true. When set to false and 'auto_snapshot: true'
+      in cassandra.yaml, there will be no snapshot taken when a table is truncated or dropped. When auto_snapshot in
+      casandra.yaml is set to false, the newly added table property does not have any effect.
+    - Changed default on resumable bootstrap to be disabled. Resumable bootstrap has edge cases with potential correctness
+      violations or data loss scenarios if nodes go down during bootstrap, tombstones are written, and operations race with
+      repair. As streaming is considerably faster in the 4.0+ era (as well as with zero copy streaming), the risks of
+      having these edge cases during a failed and resumed bootstrap are no longer deemed acceptable.
+      To re-enable this feature, use the -Dcassandra.reset_bootstrap_progress=false environment flag.
+    - Added --older-than and --older-than-timestamp options to nodetool clearsnapshot command. It is possible to
+      clear snapshots which are older than some period for example, "--older-than 5h" to remove
+      snapshots older than 5 hours and it is possible to clear all snapshots older than some timestamp, for example
+      --older-than-timestamp 2022-12-03T10:15:30Z.
+    - Cassandra logs can be viewed in the virtual table system_views.system_logs.
+      Please uncomment the respective appender in logback.xml file to make logs flow into this table. This feature is turned off by default.
+    - Added new CQL table property 'incremental_backups' which is by default true. When 'incremental_backups' property in cassandra.yaml
+      is set to true and table property is set to false, incremental backups for that specific table will not be done.
+      When 'incremental_backups' in casandra.yaml is set to false, the newly added table property does not have any effect.
+      Both properties have to be set to true (cassandra.yaml and table property) in order to make incremental backups.
+    - Added new CQL native scalar functions for collections. The new functions are mostly analogous to the existing
+      aggregation functions, but they operate on the elements of collection columns. The new functions are `map_keys`,
+      `map_values`, `collection_count`, `collection_min`, `collection_max`, `collection_sum` and `collection_avg`.
+    - Added compaction_properties column to system.compaction_history table and nodetool compactionhistory command
+    - SimpleSeedProvider can resolve multiple IP addresses per DNS record. SimpleSeedProvider reacts on
+      the paramater called `resolve_multiple_ip_addresses_per_dns_record` which value is meant to be boolean and by
+      default it is set to false. When set to true, SimpleSeedProvider will resolve all IP addresses per DNS record,
+      based on the configured name service on the system.
+    - Added new native CQL functions for data masking, allowing to replace or obscure sensitive data. The functions are:
+      - `mask_null` replaces the column value by null.
+      - `mask_default` replaces the data by a fixed default value of the same type.
+      - `mask_replace` replaces the data by a custom value.
+      - `mask_inner` replaces every character but the first and last ones by a fixed character.
+      - `mask_outer` replaces the first and last characters by a fixed character.
+      - `mask_hash` replaces the data by its hash, according to the specified algorithm.
+    - On virtual tables, it is not strictly necessary to specify `ALLOW FILTERING` for select statements which would
+      normally require it, except `system_views.system_logs`.
+    - More accurate skipping of sstables in read path due to better handling of min/max clustering and lower bound;
+      SSTable format has been bumped to 'nc' because there are new fields in stats metadata\
+    - Added MaxSSTableSize and MaxSSTableDuration metrics to TableMetrics. The former returns the size of the biggest 
+      SSTable of a table or 0 when there is not any SSTable. The latter returns the maximum duration, computed as 
+      `maxTimestamp - minTimestamp`, effectively non-zero for SSTables produced by TimeWindowCompactionStrategy.
+    - Added local read/write ratio to tablestats.
+    - Added system_views.max_sstable_size and system_views.max_sstable_duration tables.
+    - Added virtual table system_views.snapshots to see all snapshots from CQL shell.
+    - Added support for attaching CQL dynamic data masking functions to table columns on the schema. These masking
+      functions can be attached to or dettached from columns with CREATE/ALTER TABLE statements. The functions obscure
+      the masked data during queries, but they don't change the stored data.
+    - Added new UNMASK permission. It allows to see the clear data of columns with an attached mask. Superusers have it
+      by default, whereas regular users don't have it by default.
+    - Added new SELECT_MASKED permission. It allows to run SELECT queries selecting the clear values of masked columns.
+      Superusers have it by default, whereas regular users don't have it by default.
+    - Added support for using UDFs as masking functions attached to table columns on the schema.
+    - Added `sstablepartitions` offline tool to find large partitions in sstables.
+    - `cassandra-stress` has a new option called '-jmx' which enables a user to pass username and password to JMX (CASSANDRA-18544)
+    - It is possible to read all credentials for `cassandra-stress` from a file via option `-credentials-file` (CASSANDRA-18544)
 
 Upgrading
 ---------
+    - Ephemeral marker files for snapshots done by repairs are not created anymore,
+      there is a dedicated flag in snapshot manifest instead. On upgrade of a node to this version, on node's start, in case there
+      are such ephemeral snapshots on disk, they will be deleted (same behaviour as before) and any new ephemeral snapshots
+      will stop to create ephemeral marker files as flag in a snapshot manifest was introduced instead.
+    - There were new table properties introduced called 'allow_auto_snapshot' and 'incremental_backups' (see section 'New features'). Hence, upgraded
+      node will be on a new schema version. Please do a rolling upgrade of nodes of a cluster to converge to one schema version.
     - All previous versions of 4.x contained a mistake on the implementation of the old CQL native protocol v3. That
      mistake produced issues when paging over tables with compact storage and a single clustering column during rolling
      upgrades involving 3.x and 4.x nodes. The fix for that issue makes it can now appear during rolling upgrades from
      4.1.0 or 4.0.0-4.0.7. If that is your case, please use protocol v4 or higher in your driver. See CASSANDRA-17507
      for further details.
+   - Added API for alternative sstable implementations. For details, see src/java/org/apache/cassandra/io/sstable/SSTable_API.md
+   - DateTieredCompactionStrategy was removed. Please change the compaction strategy for the tables using this strategy
+     to TimeWindowCompactionStrategy before upgrading to this version.
+   - The deprecated functions `dateOf` and `unixTimestampOf` have been removed. They were deprecated and replaced by
+     `toTimestamp` and `toUnixTimestamp` in Cassandra 2.2.
+   - Hadoop integration is no longer available (CASSANDRA-18323). If you want to process Cassandra data by big data frameworks, 
+     please upgrade your infrastructure to use Cassandra Spark connector.
+   - Keystore/truststore password configurations are nullable now and the code defaults of those passwords to 'cassandra' are
+     removed. Any deployments that depend upon the code default to this password value without explicitly specifying
+     it in cassandra.yaml will fail on upgrade. Please specify your keystore_password and truststore_password elements in cassandra.yaml with appropriate
+     values to prevent this failure.
 
 Deprecation
 -----------
-    - Hadoop integration in package org.apache.cassandra.hadoop is deprecated and no longer actively maintained.
-      This code is scheduled to be removed in the next major version of Cassandra.
+    - In the JMX MBean `org.apache.cassandra.db:type=RepairService` (CASSANDRA-17668):
+        - deprecate the getter/setter methods `getRepairSessionSpaceInMebibytes` and `setRepairSessionSpaceInMebibytes`
+          in favor of `getRepairSessionSpaceInMiB` and `setRepairSessionSpaceInMiB` respectively
+    - In the JMX MBean `org.apache.cassandra.db:type=StorageService` (CASSANDRA-17668):
+        - deprecate the getter/setter methods `getRepairSessionMaxTreeDepth` and `setRepairSessionMaxTreeDepth`
+          in favor of `getRepairSessionMaximumTreeDepth` and `setRepairSessionMaximumTreeDepth`
+        - deprecate the setter method `setColumnIndexSize` in favor of `setColumnIndexSizeInKiB`
+        - deprecate the getter/setter methods `getColumnIndexCacheSize` and `setColumnIndexCacheSize` in favor of
+          `getColumnIndexCacheSizeInKiB` and `setColumnIndexCacheSizeInKiB` respectively
+        - deprecate the getter/setter methods `getBatchSizeWarnThreshold` and `setBatchSizeWarnThreshold` in favor of
+          `getBatchSizeWarnThresholdInKiB` and `setBatchSizeWarnThresholdInKiB` respectively
+    - All native CQL functions names that don't use the snake case names are deprecated in favour of equivalent names
+      using snake casing. Thus, `totimestamp` is deprecated in favour of `to_timestamp`, `intasblob` in favour
+      of `int_as_blob`, `castAsInt` in favour of `cast_as_int`, etc.
+    - The config property `compaction_large_partition_warning_threshold` has been deprecated in favour of the new
+      guardrail for partition size. That guardrail is based on the properties `partition_size_warn_threshold` and
+      `partition_size_fail_threshold`. The warn threshold has a very similar behaviour to the old config property.

-
-        DESCRIBE KEYSPACES
-
-          Output the names of all keyspaces.
-
-        DESCRIBE KEYSPACE [<keyspacename>]
-
-          Output CQL commands that could be used to recreate the given keyspace,
-          and the objects in it (such as tables, types, functions, etc.).
-          In some cases, as the CQL interface matures, there will be some metadata
-          about a keyspace that is not representable with CQL. That metadata will not be shown.
-          The '<keyspacename>' argument may be omitted, in which case the current
-          keyspace will be described.
-
-        DESCRIBE TABLES
-
-          Output the names of all tables in the current keyspace, or in all
-          keyspaces if there is no current keyspace.
-
-        DESCRIBE TABLE [<keyspace>.]<tablename>
-
-          Output CQL commands that could be used to recreate the given table.
-          In some cases, as above, there may be table metadata which is not
-          representable and which will not be shown.
-
-        DESCRIBE INDEX <indexname>
-
-          Output the CQL command that could be used to recreate the given index.
-          In some cases, there may be index metadata which is not representable
-          and which will not be shown.
-
-        DESCRIBE MATERIALIZED VIEW <viewname>
-
-          Output the CQL command that could be used to recreate the given materialized view.
-          In some cases, there may be materialized view metadata which is not representable
-          and which will not be shown.
-
-        DESCRIBE CLUSTER
-
-          Output information about the connected Cassandra cluster, such as the
-          cluster name, and the partitioner and snitch in use. When you are
-          connected to a non-system keyspace, also shows endpoint-range
-          ownership information for the Cassandra ring.
-
-        DESCRIBE [FULL] SCHEMA
-
-          Output CQL commands that could be used to recreate the entire (non-system) schema.
-          Works as though "DESCRIBE KEYSPACE k" was invoked for each non-system keyspace
-          k. Use DESCRIBE FULL SCHEMA to include the system keyspaces.
-
-        DESCRIBE TYPES
-
-          Output the names of all user-defined-types in the current keyspace, or in all
-          keyspaces if there is no current keyspace.
-
-        DESCRIBE TYPE [<keyspace>.]<type>
-
-          Output the CQL command that could be used to recreate the given user-defined-type.
-
-        DESCRIBE FUNCTIONS
-
-          Output the names of all user-defined-functions in the current keyspace, or in all
-          keyspaces if there is no current keyspace.
-
-        DESCRIBE FUNCTION [<keyspace>.]<function>
-
-          Output the CQL command that could be used to recreate the given user-defined-function.
-
-        DESCRIBE AGGREGATES
-
-          Output the names of all user-defined-aggregates in the current keyspace, or in all
-          keyspaces if there is no current keyspace.
-
-        DESCRIBE AGGREGATE [<keyspace>.]<aggregate>
-
-          Output the CQL command that could be used to recreate the given user-defined-aggregate.
-

 The @<tablename>@ is the table name optionally preceded by the keyspace name.  The @<instruction>@ defines the alteration to perform:
 * @ADD@: Adds a new column to the table. The @<identifier>@ for the new column must not conflict with an existing column. Moreover, columns cannot be added to tables defined with the @COMPACT STORAGE@ option. If the new column already exists, the statement will return an error, unless @IF NOT EXISTS@ is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
 * @DROP@: Removes a column from the table. Dropped columns will immediately become unavailable in the queries and will not be included in compacted sstables in the future. If a column is readded, queries won't return values written before the column was last dropped. It is assumed that timestamps represent actual time, so if this is not your case, you should NOT readd previously dropped columns. Columns can't be dropped from tables defined with the @COMPACT STORAGE@ option. If the dropped column does not already exist, the statement will return an error, unless @IF EXISTS@ is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
+* @ALTER@: Alters an existing column. It can be used to set its data mask, or to set it as unmasked. The data mask is any function meant to obscure the real values of the column.
 * @RENAME@ a primary key column of a table. Non primary key columns cannot be renamed. Furthermore, renaming a column to another name which already exists isn't allowed. It's important to keep in mind that renamed columns shouldn't have dependent secondary indexes. If the renamed column does not already exist, the statement will return an error, unless @IF EXISTS@ is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
 * @DROP COMPACT STORAGE@: Removes Thrift compatibility mode from the table.
 * @WITH@: Allows to update the options of the table. The "supported @<option>@":#createTableOptions (and syntax) are the same as for the @CREATE TABLE@ statement except that @COMPACT STORAGE@ is not supported. Note that setting any @compaction@ sub-options has the effect of erasing all previous @compaction@ options, so you  need to re-specify all the sub-options if you want to keep them. The same note applies to the set of @compression@ sub-options.

 The @<select-clause>@ determines which columns needs to be queried and returned in the result-set. It consists of either the comma-separated list of <selector> or the wildcard character (@*@) to select all the columns defined for the table. Please note that for wildcard @SELECT@ queries the order of columns returned is not specified and is not guaranteed to be stable between Cassandra versions.
 
-A @<selector>@ is either a column name to retrieve or a @<function>@ of one or more @<term>@s.

 Additionally, individual values of maps and sets can be selected using @[ <term> ]@. For maps, this will return the value corresponding to the key, if such entry exists. For sets, this will return the key that is selected if it exists and is thus mainly a way to check element existence. It is also possible to select a slice of a set or map with @[ <term> ... <term> @], where both bound can be omitted.

+[[commit-log]]
+== CommitLog
+
+Commitlogs are an append-only log of all mutations local to a Cassandra
+node. Any data written to Cassandra will first be written to a commit
+log before being written to a memtable. This provides durability in the
+case of unexpected shutdown. On startup, any mutations in the commit log
+will be applied to memtables.
+
+All mutations are write-optimized by storing in commitlog segments, reducing
+the number of seeks needed to write to disk. Commitlog segments are
+limited by the `commitlog_segment_size` option. Once the size is
+reached, a new commitlog segment is created. Commitlog segments can be
+archived, deleted, or recycled once all the data has been flushed to
+SSTables. Commitlog segments are truncated when Cassandra has written
+data older than a certain point to the SSTables. Running "nodetool
+drain" before stopping Cassandra will write everything in the memtables
+to SSTables and remove the need to sync with the commitlogs on startup.
+
+* `commitlog_segment_size`: The default size is 32MiB, which is
+almost always fine, but if you are archiving commitlog segments (see
+commitlog_archiving.properties), then you probably want a finer
+granularity of archiving; 8 or 16 MiB is reasonable.
+`commitlog_segment_size` also determines the default value of
+`max_mutation_size` in `cassandra.yaml`. By default,
+`max_mutation_size` is a half the size of `commitlog_segment_size`.
+
+[NOTE]
+.Note
+====
+If `max_mutation_size` is set explicitly then
+`commitlog_segment_size` must be set to at least twice the size of
+`max_mutation_size`.

+
+If space gets above this value, Cassandra will flush every dirty CF in
+the oldest segment and remove it. So a small total commitlog space will
+tend to cause more flush activity on less-active columnfamilies.
+
+The default value is the smallest between 8192 and 1/4 of the total
+space of the commitlog volume.
+
+_Default Value:_ 8192MiB
+
+== Memtables
+
+Memtables are in-memory structures where Cassandra buffers writes. In
+general, there is one active memtable per table. Eventually, memtables
+are flushed onto disk and become immutable link:#sstables[SSTables].
+This can be triggered in several ways:
+
+* The memory usage of the memtables exceeds the configured threshold
+(see `memtable_cleanup_threshold`)
+* The `commit-log` approaches its maximum size, and forces memtable
+flushes in order to allow commitlog segments to be freed
+
+Memtables may be stored entirely on-heap or partially off-heap,
+depending on `memtable_allocation_type`.
+
+== SSTables
+
+SSTables are the immutable data files that Cassandra uses for persisting
+data on disk.
+
+As SSTables are flushed to disk from `memtables` or are streamed from
+other nodes, Cassandra triggers compactions which combine multiple
+SSTables into one. Once the new SSTable has been written, the old
+SSTables can be removed.
+
+Each SSTable is comprised of multiple components stored in separate
+files:
+
+`Data.db`::
+  The actual data, i.e. the contents of rows.
+`Index.db`::
+  An index from partition keys to positions in the `Data.db` file. For
+  wide partitions, this may also include an index to rows within a
+  partition.
+`Summary.db`::
+  A sampling of (by default) every 128th entry in the `Index.db` file.
+`Filter.db`::
+  A Bloom Filter of the partition keys in the SSTable.
+`CompressionInfo.db`::
+  Metadata about the offsets and lengths of compression chunks in the
+  `Data.db` file.
+`Statistics.db`::
+  Stores metadata about the SSTable, including information about
+  timestamps, tombstones, clustering keys, compaction, repair,
+  compression, TTLs, and more.
+`Digest.crc32`::
+  A CRC-32 digest of the `Data.db` file.
+`TOC.txt`::
+  A plain text list of the component files for the SSTable.
+
+Within the `Data.db` file, rows are organized by partition. These
+partitions are sorted in token order (i.e. by a hash of the partition
+key when the default partitioner, `Murmur3Partition`, is used). Within a
+partition, rows are stored in the order of their clustering keys.
+
+SSTables can be optionally compressed using block-based compression.

-* `commitlog_compression`: Compression to apply to the commitlog. If
-omitted, the commit log will be written uncompressed. LZ4, Snappy,
-Deflate and Zstd compressors are supported.
-
-(Default Value: (complex option):
-
-[source, yaml]
-----
-#   - class_name: LZ4Compressor
-#     parameters:
-----
-
-* `commitlog_total_space`: Total space to use for commit logs on
-disk.
-
-If space gets above this value, Cassandra will flush every dirty CF in
-the oldest segment and remove it. So a small total commitlog space will
-tend to cause more flush activity on less-active columnfamilies.
-
-The default value is the smaller of 8192, and 1/4 of the total space of
-the commitlog volume.
-
-_Default Value:_ 8192MiB
-
-== Memtables
-
-Memtables are in-memory structures where Cassandra buffers writes. In
-general, there is one active memtable per table. Eventually, memtables
-are flushed onto disk and become immutable link:#sstables[SSTables].
-This can be triggered in several ways:
-
-* The memory usage of the memtables exceeds the configured threshold
-(see `memtable_cleanup_threshold`)
-* The `commit-log` approaches its maximum size, and forces memtable
-flushes in order to allow commitlog segments to be freed
-
-Memtables may be stored entirely on-heap or partially off-heap,
-depending on `memtable_allocation_type`.
-
-== SSTables
-
-SSTables are the immutable data files that Cassandra uses for persisting
-data on disk.
-
-As SSTables are flushed to disk from `memtables` or are streamed from
-other nodes, Cassandra triggers compactions which combine multiple
-SSTables into one. Once the new SSTable has been written, the old
-SSTables can be removed.
-
-Each SSTable is comprised of multiple components stored in separate
-files:
-
-`Data.db`::
-  The actual data, i.e. the contents of rows.
-`Index.db`::
-  An index from partition keys to positions in the `Data.db` file. For
-  wide partitions, this may also include an index to rows within a
-  partition.
-`Summary.db`::
-  A sampling of (by default) every 128th entry in the `Index.db` file.
-`Filter.db`::
-  A Bloom Filter of the partition keys in the SSTable.
-`CompressionInfo.db`::
-  Metadata about the offsets and lengths of compression chunks in the
-  `Data.db` file.
-`Statistics.db`::
-  Stores metadata about the SSTable, including information about
-  timestamps, tombstones, clustering keys, compaction, repair,
-  compression, TTLs, and more.
-`Digest.crc32`::
-  A CRC-32 digest of the `Data.db` file.
-`TOC.txt`::
-  A plain text list of the component files for the SSTable.
-
-Within the `Data.db` file, rows are organized by partition. These
-partitions are sorted in token order (i.e. by a hash of the partition
-key when the default partitioner, `Murmur3Partition`, is used). Within a
-partition, rows are stored in the order of their clustering keys.
-
-SSTables can be optionally compressed using block-based compression.
-
-== SSTable Versions
-
-This section was created using the following
-https://gist.github.com/shyamsalimkumar/49a61e5bc6f403d20c55[gist] which
-utilized this original
-http://www.bajb.net/2013/03/cassandra-sstable-format-version-numbers/[source].
-
-The version numbers, to date are:
-
-=== Version 0
-
-* b (0.7.0): added version to sstable filenames
-* c (0.7.0): bloom filter component computes hashes over raw key bytes
-instead of strings
-* d (0.7.0): row size in data component becomes a long instead of int
-* e (0.7.0): stores undecorated keys in data and index components
-* f (0.7.0): switched bloom filter implementations in data component
-* g (0.8): tracks flushed-at context in metadata component
-
-=== Version 1
-
-* h (1.0): tracks max client timestamp in metadata component
-* hb (1.0.3): records compression ration in metadata component
-* hc (1.0.4): records partitioner in metadata component
-* hd (1.0.10): includes row tombstones in maxtimestamp
-* he (1.1.3): includes ancestors generation in metadata component
-* hf (1.1.6): marker that replay position corresponds to 1.1.5+
-millis-based id (see CASSANDRA-4782)
-* ia (1.2.0):
-** column indexes are promoted to the index file
-** records estimated histogram of deletion times in tombstones
-** bloom filter (keys and columns) upgraded to Murmur3
-* ib (1.2.1): tracks min client timestamp in metadata component
-* ic (1.2.5): omits per-row bloom filter of column names
-
-=== Version 2
-
-* ja (2.0.0):
-** super columns are serialized as composites (note that there is no
-real format change, this is mostly a marker to know if we should expect
-super columns or not. We do need a major version bump however, because
-we should not allow streaming of super columns into this new format)
-** tracks max local deletiontime in sstable metadata
-** records bloom_filter_fp_chance in metadata component
-** remove data size and column count from data file (CASSANDRA-4180)
-** tracks max/min column values (according to comparator)
-* jb (2.0.1):
-** switch from crc32 to adler32 for compression checksums
-** checksum the compressed data
-* ka (2.1.0):
-** new Statistics.db file format
-** index summaries can be downsampled and the sampling level is
-persisted
-** switch uncompressed checksums to adler32
-** tracks presense of legacy (local and remote) counter shards
-* la (2.2.0): new file name format
-* lb (2.2.7): commit log lower bound included

-= logback.xml file
-
-The `logback.xml` configuration file can optionally set logging levels
-for the logs written to `system.log` and `debug.log`. The logging levels
-can also be set using `nodetool setlogginglevels`.
-
-== Options
-
-=== `appender name="<appender_choice>"...</appender>` 
-
-Specify log type and settings. Possible appender names are: `SYSTEMLOG`,
-`DEBUGLOG`, `ASYNCDEBUGLOG`, and `STDOUT`. `SYSTEMLOG` ensures that WARN
-and ERROR message are written synchronously to the specified file.
-`DEBUGLOG` and `ASYNCDEBUGLOG` ensure that DEBUG messages are written
-either synchronously or asynchronously, respectively, to the specified
-file. `STDOUT` writes all messages to the console in a human-readable
-format.
-
-*Example:* <appender name="SYSTEMLOG"
-class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
-
-=== `<file> <filename> </file>` 
-
-Specify the filename for a log.
-
-*Example:* <file>$\{cassandra.logdir}/system.log</file>
-
-=== `<level> <log_level> </level>`
-
-Specify the level for a log. Part of the filter. Levels are: `ALL`,
-`TRACE`, `DEBUG`, `INFO`, `WARN`, `ERROR`, `OFF`. `TRACE` creates the
-most verbose log, `ERROR` the least.
-
-[NOTE]
-.Note
-====
-Note: Increasing logging levels can generate heavy logging output on
-a moderately trafficked cluster. You can use the
-`nodetool getlogginglevels` command to see the current logging
-configuration.
-====
-
-*Default:* INFO
-
-*Example:* <level>INFO</level>
-
-=== `<rollingPolicy class="<rolling_policy_choice>" <fileNamePattern><pattern_info></fileNamePattern> ... </rollingPolicy>`
-
-Specify the policy for rolling logs over to an archive.
-
-*Example:* <rollingPolicy
-class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.SizeAndTimeBasedRollingPolicy">
-
-=== `<fileNamePattern> <pattern_info> </fileNamePattern>`
-
-Specify the pattern information for rolling over the log to archive.
-Part of the rolling policy.
-
-*Example:*
-<fileNamePattern>$\{cassandra.logdir}/system.log.%d\{yyyy-MM-dd}.%i.zip</fileNamePattern>
-
-=== `<maxFileSize> <size> </maxFileSize>`
-
-Specify the maximum file size to trigger rolling a log. Part of the
-rolling policy.
-
-*Example:* <maxFileSize>50MB</maxFileSize>
-
-=== `<maxHistory> <number_of_days> </maxHistory>`
-
-Specify the maximum history in days to trigger rolling a log. Part of
-the rolling policy.
-
-*Example:* <maxHistory>7</maxHistory>
-
-=== `<encoder> <pattern>...</pattern> </encoder>`
-
-Specify the format of the message. Part of the rolling policy.

-== 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.

-= Changes
-
-The following describes the changes in each version of CQL.
-
-== 3.4.6
-
-* Add support for IF EXISTS and IF NOT EXISTS in ALTER statements  (`16916`)
-* Allow GRANT/REVOKE multiple permissions in a single statement (`17030`)
-* Pre hashed passwords in CQL (`17334`)
-* Add support for type casting in WHERE clause components and in the values of INSERT/UPDATE statements (`14337`)
-* Add support for CONTAINS and CONTAINS KEY in conditional UPDATE and DELETE statement (`10537`)
-* Allow to grant permission for all tables in a keyspace (`17027`)
-* Allow to aggregate by time intervals (`11871`)
-
-== 3.4.5
-
-* Adds support for arithmetic operators (`11935`)
-* Adds support for `+` and `-` operations on dates (`11936`)
-* Adds `currentTimestamp`, `currentDate`, `currentTime` and
-`currentTimeUUID` functions (`13132`)
-
-== 3.4.4
-
-* `ALTER TABLE` `ALTER` has been removed; a column's type may not be
-changed after creation (`12443`).
-* `ALTER TYPE` `ALTER` has been removed; a field's type may not be
-changed after creation (`12443`).
-
-== 3.4.3
-
-* Adds a new `duration` `data types <data-types>` (`11873`).
-* Support for `GROUP BY` (`10707`).
-* Adds a `DEFAULT UNSET` option for `INSERT JSON` to ignore omitted
-columns (`11424`).
-* Allows `null` as a legal value for TTL on insert and update. It will
-be treated as equivalent to inserting a 0 (`12216`).
-
-== 3.4.2
-
-* If a table has a non zero `default_time_to_live`, then explicitly
-specifying a TTL of 0 in an `INSERT` or `UPDATE` statement will result
-in the new writes not having any expiration (that is, an explicit TTL of
-0 cancels the `default_time_to_live`). This wasn't the case before and
-the `default_time_to_live` was applied even though a TTL had been
-explicitly set.
-* `ALTER TABLE` `ADD` and `DROP` now allow multiple columns to be
-added/removed.
-* New `PER PARTITION LIMIT` option for `SELECT` statements (see
-https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7017)[CASSANDRA-7017].
-* `User-defined functions <cql-functions>` can now instantiate
-`UDTValue` and `TupleValue` instances via the new `UDFContext` interface
-(see
-https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10818)[CASSANDRA-10818].
-* `User-defined types <udts>` may now be stored in a non-frozen form,
-allowing individual fields to be updated and deleted in `UPDATE`
-statements and `DELETE` statements, respectively.
-(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7423)[CASSANDRA-7423]).
-
-== 3.4.1
-
-* Adds `CAST` functions.

-any primary key columns.
-* `UPDATE` support for `IN` restrictions on any primary key columns.
-
-== 3.3.1
-
-* The syntax `TRUNCATE TABLE X` is now accepted as an alias for
-`TRUNCATE X`.
-
-== 3.3.0
-
-* `User-defined functions and aggregates <cql-functions>` are now
-supported.
-* Allows double-dollar enclosed strings literals as an alternative to
-single-quote enclosed strings.

-control
-* New `date`, `time`, `tinyint` and `smallint` `data types <data-types>`
-have been added.
-* `JSON support <cql-json>` has been added
-* Adds new time conversion functions and deprecate `dateOf` and

-positional fields.
-* `DROP INDEX` now supports optionally specifying a keyspace.
-
-== 3.1.7
-
-* `SELECT` statements now support selecting multiple rows in a single
-partition using an `IN` clause on combinations of clustering columns.
-* `IF NOT EXISTS` and `IF EXISTS` syntax is now supported by
-`CREATE USER` and `DROP USER` statements, respectively.
-
-== 3.1.6
-
-* A new `uuid()` method has been added.
-* Support for `DELETE ... IF EXISTS` syntax.
-
-== 3.1.5
-
-* It is now possible to group clustering columns in a relation, see
-`WHERE <where-clause>` clauses.
-* Added support for `static columns <static-columns>`.
-
-== 3.1.4
-
-* `CREATE INDEX` now allows specifying options when creating CUSTOM
-indexes.
-
-== 3.1.3
-
-* Millisecond precision formats have been added to the
-`timestamp <timestamps>` parser.
-
-== 3.1.2
-
-* `NaN` and `Infinity` has been added as valid float constants. They are
-now reserved keywords. In the unlikely case you we using them as a
-column identifier (or keyspace/table one), you will now need to double
-quote them.
-
-== 3.1.1
-
-* `SELECT` statement now allows listing the partition keys (using the
-`DISTINCT` modifier). See
-https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4536[CASSANDRA-4536].

-the value expected for the bind variable will be a list of whatever type
-`c` is.
-* It is now possible to use named bind variables (using `:name` instead
-of `?`).
-
-== 3.1.0
-
-* `ALTER TABLE` `DROP` option added.

-* `INSERT` statements optionally supports a `IF NOT EXISTS` condition
-and `UPDATE` supports `IF` conditions.
-
-== 3.0.5
-
-* `SELECT`, `UPDATE`, and `DELETE` statements now allow empty `IN`
-relations (see
-https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5626)[CASSANDRA-5626].
-
-== 3.0.4
-
-* Updated the syntax for custom `secondary indexes <secondary-indexes>`.
-* Non-equal condition on the partition key are now never supported, even
-for ordering partitioner as this was not correct (the order was *not*
-the one of the type of the partition key). Instead, the `token` method
-should always be used for range queries on the partition key (see
-`WHERE clauses <where-clause>`).
-
-== 3.0.3
-
-* Support for custom `secondary indexes <secondary-indexes>` has been
-added.
-
-== 3.0.2
-
-* Type validation for the `constants <constants>` has been fixed. For
-instance, the implementation used to allow `'2'` as a valid value for an
-`int` column (interpreting it has the equivalent of `2`), or `42` as a
-valid `blob` value (in which case `42` was interpreted as an hexadecimal
-representation of the blob). This is no longer the case, type validation
-of constants is now more strict. See the `data types <data-types>`
-section for details on which constant is allowed for which type.
-* The type validation fixed of the previous point has lead to the
-introduction of blobs constants to allow the input of blobs. Do note
-that while the input of blobs as strings constant is still supported by
-this version (to allow smoother transition to blob constant), it is now
-deprecated and will be removed by a future version. If you were using
-strings as blobs, you should thus update your client code ASAP to switch
-blob constants.
-* A number of functions to convert native types to blobs have also been
-introduced. Furthermore the token function is now also allowed in select
-clauses. See the `section on functions <cql-functions>` for details.
-
-== 3.0.1
-
-* Date strings (and timestamps) are no longer accepted as valid
-`timeuuid` values. Doing so was a bug in the sense that date string are
-not valid `timeuuid`, and it was thus resulting in
-https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4936[confusing
-behaviors]. However, the following new methods have been added to help
-working with `timeuuid`: `now`, `minTimeuuid`, `maxTimeuuid` , `dateOf`
-and `unixTimestampOf`.
-* Float constants now support the exponent notation. In other words,
-`4.2E10` is now a valid floating point value.
-
-== Versioning
-
-Versioning of the CQL language adheres to the http://semver.org[Semantic
-Versioning] guidelines. Versions take the form X.Y.Z where X, Y, and Z
-are integer values representing major, minor, and patch level
-respectively. There is no correlation between Cassandra release versions
-and the CQL language version.
-
-[cols=",",options="header",]
-|===
-|version |description
-| Major | The major version _must_ be bumped when backward incompatible changes
-are introduced. This should rarely occur.
-| Minor | Minor version increments occur when new, but backward compatible,
-functionality is introduced.
-| Patch | The patch version is incremented when bugs are fixed.

-== Cassandra Query Language (CQL) v3.4.3
-
-\{toc:maxLevel=3}
-
-=== CQL Syntax
-
-==== Preamble
-
-This document describes the Cassandra Query Language (CQL) version 3.
-CQL v3 is not backward compatible with CQL v2 and differs from it in
-numerous ways. Note that this document describes the last version of the
-languages. However, the link:#changes[changes] section provides the diff
-between the different versions of CQL v3.
-
-CQL v3 offers a model very close to SQL in the sense that data is put in
-_tables_ containing _rows_ of _columns_. For that reason, when used in
-this document, these terms (tables, rows and columns) have the same
-definition than they have in SQL. But please note that as such, they do
-*not* refer to the concept of rows and columns found in the internal
-implementation of Cassandra and in the thrift and CQL v2 API.
-
-==== Conventions
-
-To aid in specifying the CQL syntax, we will use the following
-conventions in this document:
-
-* Language rules will be given in a
-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backus%E2%80%93Naur_Form[BNF] -like
-notation:
-
-bc(syntax). ::= TERMINAL
-
-* Nonterminal symbols will have `<angle brackets>`.
-* As additional shortcut notations to BNF, we’ll use traditional regular
-expression’s symbols (`?`, `+` and `*`) to signify that a given symbol
-is optional and/or can be repeated. We’ll also allow parentheses to
-group symbols and the `[<characters>]` notation to represent any one of
-`<characters>`.
-* The grammar is provided for documentation purposes and leave some
-minor details out. For instance, the last column definition in a
-`CREATE TABLE` statement is optional but supported if present even
-though the provided grammar in this document suggest it is not
-supported.
-* Sample code will be provided in a code block:
-
-bc(sample). SELECT sample_usage FROM cql;
-
-* References to keywords or pieces of CQL code in running text will be
-shown in a `fixed-width font`.
-
-[[identifiers]]
-==== Identifiers and keywords
-
-The CQL language uses _identifiers_ (or _names_) to identify tables,
-columns and other objects. An identifier is a token matching the regular
-expression `[a-zA-Z]``[a-zA-Z0-9_]``*`.
-
-A number of such identifiers, like `SELECT` or `WITH`, are _keywords_.
-They have a fixed meaning for the language and most are reserved. The
-list of those keywords can be found in link:#appendixA[Appendix A].
-
-Identifiers and (unquoted) keywords are case insensitive. Thus `SELECT`
-is the same than `select` or `sElEcT`, and `myId` is the same than
-`myid` or `MYID` for instance. A convention often used (in particular by
-the samples of this documentation) is to use upper case for keywords and
-lower case for other identifiers.
-
-There is a second kind of identifiers called _quoted identifiers_
-defined by enclosing an arbitrary sequence of characters in
-double-quotes(`"`). Quoted identifiers are never keywords. Thus
-`"select"` is not a reserved keyword and can be used to refer to a
-column, while `select` would raise a parse error. Also, contrarily to
-unquoted identifiers and keywords, quoted identifiers are case sensitive
-(`"My Quoted Id"` is _different_ from `"my quoted id"`). A fully
-lowercase quoted identifier that matches `[a-zA-Z]``[a-zA-Z0-9_]``*` is
-equivalent to the unquoted identifier obtained by removing the
-double-quote (so `"myid"` is equivalent to `myid` and to `myId` but
-different from `"myId"`). Inside a quoted identifier, the double-quote
-character can be repeated to escape it, so `"foo "" bar"` is a valid
-identifier.
-
-*Warning*: _quoted identifiers_ allows to declare columns with arbitrary
-names, and those can sometime clash with specific names used by the
-server. For instance, when using conditional update, the server will
-respond with a result-set containing a special result named
-`"[applied]"`. If you’ve declared a column with such a name, this could
-potentially confuse some tools and should be avoided. In general,
-unquoted identifiers should be preferred but if you use quoted
-identifiers, it is strongly advised to avoid any name enclosed by
-squared brackets (like `"[applied]"`) and any name that looks like a
-function call (like `"f(x)"`).
-
-==== Constants
-
-CQL defines the following kind of _constants_: strings, integers,
-floats, booleans, uuids and blobs:
-
-* A string constant is an arbitrary sequence of characters characters
-enclosed by single-quote(`'`). One can include a single-quote in a
-string by repeating it, e.g. `'It''s raining today'`. Those are not to
-be confused with quoted identifiers that use double-quotes.
-* An integer constant is defined by `'-'?[0-9]+`.
-* A float constant is defined by
-`'-'?[0-9]+('.'[0-9]*)?([eE][+-]?[0-9+])?`. On top of that, `NaN` and
-`Infinity` are also float constants.
-* A boolean constant is either `true` or `false` up to
-case-insensitivity (i.e. `True` is a valid boolean constant).
-* A http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier[UUID]
-constant is defined by `hex{8}-hex{4}-hex{4}-hex{4}-hex{12}` where `hex`
-is an hexadecimal character, e.g. `[0-9a-fA-F]` and `{4}` is the number
-of such characters.
-* A blob constant is an hexadecimal number defined by `0[xX](hex)+`
-where `hex` is an hexadecimal character, e.g. `[0-9a-fA-F]`.
-
-For how these constants are typed, see the link:#types[data types
-section].
-
-==== Comments
-
-A comment in CQL is a line beginning by either double dashes (`--`) or
-double slash (`//`).
-
-Multi-line comments are also supported through enclosure within `/*` and
-`*/` (but nesting is not supported).
-
-bc(sample). +
-— This is a comment +
-// This is a comment too +
-/* This is +
-a multi-line comment */
-
-==== Statements
-
-CQL consists of statements. As in SQL, these statements can be divided
-in 3 categories:
-
-* Data definition statements, that allow to set and change the way data
-is stored.
-* Data manipulation statements, that allow to change data
-* Queries, to look up data
-
-All statements end with a semicolon (`;`) but that semicolon can be
-omitted when dealing with a single statement. The supported statements
-are described in the following sections. When describing the grammar of
-said statements, we will reuse the non-terminal symbols defined below:
-
-bc(syntax).. +
-::= any quoted or unquoted identifier, excluding reserved keywords +
-::= ( `.')?
-
-::= a string constant +
-::= an integer constant +
-::= a float constant +
-::= |  +
-::= a uuid constant +
-::= a boolean constant +
-::= a blob constant
-
-::=  +
-|  +
-|  +
-|  +
-|  +
-::= `?' +
-| `:'  +
-::=  +
-|  +
-|  +
-| `(' ( (`,' )*)? `)'
-
-::=  +
-|  +
-|  +
-::= `\{' ( `:' ( `,' `:' )* )? `}' +
-::= `\{' ( ( `,' )* )? `}' +
-::= `[' ( ( `,' )* )? `]'
-
-::=
-
-::= (AND )* +
-::= `=' ( | | ) +
-p. +
-Please note that not every possible productions of the grammar above
-will be valid in practice. Most notably, `<variable>` and nested
-`<collection-literal>` are currently not allowed inside
-`<collection-literal>`.
-
-A `<variable>` can be either anonymous (a question mark (`?`)) or named
-(an identifier preceded by `:`). Both declare a bind variables for
-link:#preparedStatement[prepared statements]. The only difference
-between an anymous and a named variable is that a named one will be
-easier to refer to (how exactly depends on the client driver used).
-
-The `<properties>` production is use by statement that create and alter
-keyspaces and tables. Each `<property>` is either a _simple_ one, in
-which case it just has a value, or a _map_ one, in which case it’s value
-is a map grouping sub-options. The following will refer to one or the
-other as the _kind_ (_simple_ or _map_) of the property.
-
-A `<tablename>` will be used to identify a table. This is an identifier
-representing the table name that can be preceded by a keyspace name. The
-keyspace name, if provided, allow to identify a table in another
-keyspace than the currently active one (the currently active keyspace is
-set through the `USE` statement).
-
-For supported `<function>`, see the section on
-link:#functions[functions].
-
-Strings can be either enclosed with single quotes or two dollar
-characters. The second syntax has been introduced to allow strings that
-contain single quotes. Typical candidates for such strings are source
-code fragments for user-defined functions.
-
-_Sample:_
-
-bc(sample).. +
-`some string value'
-
-$$double-dollar string can contain single ’ quotes$$ +
-p.
-
-[[preparedStatement]]
-==== Prepared Statement
-
-CQL supports _prepared statements_. Prepared statement is an
-optimization that allows to parse a query only once but execute it
-multiple times with different concrete values.
-
-In a statement, each time a column value is expected (in the data
-manipulation and query statements), a `<variable>` (see above) can be
-used instead. A statement with bind variables must then be _prepared_.
-Once it has been prepared, it can executed by providing concrete values
-for the bind variables. The exact procedure to prepare a statement and
-execute a prepared statement depends on the CQL driver used and is
-beyond the scope of this document.
-
-In addition to providing column values, bind markers may be used to
-provide values for `LIMIT`, `TIMESTAMP`, and `TTL` clauses. If anonymous
-bind markers are used, the names for the query parameters will be
-`[limit]`, `[timestamp]`, and `[ttl]`, respectively.
-
-[[dataDefinition]]
-=== Data Definition
-
-[[createKeyspaceStmt]]
-==== CREATE KEYSPACE
-
-_Syntax:_
-
-bc(syntax).. +
-::= CREATE KEYSPACE (IF NOT EXISTS)? WITH  +
-p. +
-_Sample:_
-
-bc(sample).. +
-CREATE KEYSPACE Excelsior +
-WITH replication = \{’class’: `SimpleStrategy', `replication_factor' :
-3};
-
-CREATE KEYSPACE Excalibur +
-WITH replication = \{’class’: `NetworkTopologyStrategy', `DC1' : 1,
-`DC2' : 3} +
-AND durable_writes = false; +
-p. +
-The `CREATE KEYSPACE` statement creates a new top-level _keyspace_. A
-keyspace is a namespace that defines a replication strategy and some
-options for a set of tables. Valid keyspaces names are identifiers
-composed exclusively of alphanumerical characters and whose length is
-lesser or equal to 32. Note that as identifiers, keyspace names are case
-insensitive: use a quoted identifier for case sensitive keyspace names.
-
-The supported `<properties>` for `CREATE KEYSPACE` are:
-
-[cols=",,,,",options="header",]
-|===
-|name |kind |mandatory |default |description
-|`replication` |_map_ |yes | |The replication strategy and options to
-use for the keyspace.
-
-|`durable_writes` |_simple_ |no |true |Whether to use the commit log for
-updates on this keyspace (disable this option at your own risk!).
-|===
-
-The `replication` `<property>` is mandatory. It must at least contains
-the `'class'` sub-option which defines the replication strategy class to
-use. The rest of the sub-options depends on that replication strategy
-class. By default, Cassandra support the following `'class'`:
-
-* `'SimpleStrategy'`: A simple strategy that defines a simple
-replication factor for the whole cluster. The only sub-options supported
-is `'replication_factor'` to define that replication factor and is
-mandatory.
-* `'NetworkTopologyStrategy'`: A replication strategy that allows to set
-the replication factor independently for each data-center. The rest of
-the sub-options are key-value pairs where each time the key is the name
-of a datacenter and the value the replication factor for that
-data-center.
-
-Attempting to create an already existing keyspace will return an error
-unless the `IF NOT EXISTS` option is used. If it is used, the statement
-will be a no-op if the keyspace already exists.
-
-[[useStmt]]
-==== USE
-
-_Syntax:_
-
-bc(syntax). ::= USE
-
-_Sample:_
-
-bc(sample). USE myApp;
-
-The `USE` statement takes an existing keyspace name as argument and set
-it as the per-connection current working keyspace. All subsequent
-keyspace-specific actions will be performed in the context of the
-selected keyspace, unless link:#statements[otherwise specified], until
-another USE statement is issued or the connection terminates.
-
-[[alterKeyspaceStmt]]
-==== ALTER KEYSPACE
-
-_Syntax:_
-
-bc(syntax).. +
-::= ALTER KEYSPACE (IF EXISTS)? WITH  +
-p. +
-_Sample:_
-
-bc(sample).. +
-ALTER KEYSPACE Excelsior +
-WITH replication = \{’class’: `SimpleStrategy', `replication_factor' :
-4};
-
-The `ALTER KEYSPACE` statement alters the properties of an existing
-keyspace. The supported `<properties>` are the same as for the
-link:#createKeyspaceStmt[`CREATE KEYSPACE`] statement.
-
-[[dropKeyspaceStmt]]
-==== DROP KEYSPACE
-
-_Syntax:_
-
-bc(syntax). ::= DROP KEYSPACE ( IF EXISTS )?
-
-_Sample:_
-
-bc(sample). DROP KEYSPACE myApp;
-
-A `DROP KEYSPACE` statement results in the immediate, irreversible
-removal of an existing keyspace, including all column families in it,
-and all data contained in those column families.
-
-If the keyspace does not exists, the statement will return an error,
-unless `IF EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
-
-[[createTableStmt]]
-==== CREATE TABLE
-
-_Syntax:_
-
-bc(syntax).. +
-::= CREATE ( TABLE | COLUMNFAMILY ) ( IF NOT EXISTS )?  +
-`(' ( `,' )* `)' +
-( WITH ( AND )* )?
-
-::= ( STATIC )? ( PRIMARY KEY )? +
-| PRIMARY KEY `(' ( `,' )* `)'
-
-::=  +
-| `(' (`,' )* `)'
-
-::=  +
-| COMPACT STORAGE +
-| CLUSTERING ORDER +
-p. +
-_Sample:_
-
-bc(sample).. +
-CREATE TABLE monkeySpecies ( +
-species text PRIMARY KEY, +
-common_name text, +
-population varint, +
-average_size int +
-) WITH comment=`Important biological records';
-
-CREATE TABLE timeline ( +
-userid uuid, +
-posted_month int, +
-posted_time uuid, +
-body text, +
-posted_by text, +
-PRIMARY KEY (userid, posted_month, posted_time) +
-) WITH compaction = \{ `class' : `LeveledCompactionStrategy' }; +
-p. +
-The `CREATE TABLE` statement creates a new table. Each such table is a
-set of _rows_ (usually representing related entities) for which it
-defines a number of properties. A table is defined by a
-link:#createTableName[name], it defines the columns composing rows of
-the table and have a number of link:#createTableOptions[options]. Note
-that the `CREATE COLUMNFAMILY` syntax is supported as an alias for
-`CREATE TABLE` (for historical reasons).
-
-Attempting to create an already existing table will return an error
-unless the `IF NOT EXISTS` option is used. If it is used, the statement
-will be a no-op if the table already exists.
-
-[[createTableName]]
-===== `<tablename>`
-
-Valid table names are the same as valid
-link:#createKeyspaceStmt[keyspace names] (up to 32 characters long
-alphanumerical identifiers). If the table name is provided alone, the
-table is created within the current keyspace (see `USE`), but if it is
-prefixed by an existing keyspace name (see
-link:#statements[`<tablename>`] grammar), it is created in the specified
-keyspace (but does *not* change the current keyspace).
-
-[[createTableColumn]]
-===== `<column-definition>`
-
-A `CREATE TABLE` statement defines the columns that rows of the table
-can have. A _column_ is defined by its name (an identifier) and its type
-(see the link:#types[data types] section for more details on allowed
-types and their properties).
-
-Within a table, a row is uniquely identified by its `PRIMARY KEY` (or
-more simply the key), and hence all table definitions *must* define a
-PRIMARY KEY (and only one). A `PRIMARY KEY` is composed of one or more
-of the columns defined in the table. If the `PRIMARY KEY` is only one
-column, this can be specified directly after the column definition.
-Otherwise, it must be specified by following `PRIMARY KEY` by the
-comma-separated list of column names composing the key within
-parenthesis. Note that:
-
-bc(sample). +
-CREATE TABLE t ( +
-k int PRIMARY KEY, +
-other text +
-)
-
-is equivalent to
-
-bc(sample). +
-CREATE TABLE t ( +
-k int, +
-other text, +
-PRIMARY KEY (k) +
-)
-
-[[createTablepartitionClustering]]
-===== Partition key and clustering columns
-
-In CQL, the order in which columns are defined for the `PRIMARY KEY`
-matters. The first column of the key is called the _partition key_. It
-has the property that all the rows sharing the same partition key (even
-across table in fact) are stored on the same physical node. Also,
-insertion/update/deletion on rows sharing the same partition key for a
-given table are performed _atomically_ and in _isolation_. Note that it
-is possible to have a composite partition key, i.e. a partition key
-formed of multiple columns, using an extra set of parentheses to define
-which columns forms the partition key.
-
-The remaining columns of the `PRIMARY KEY` definition, if any, are
-called __clustering columns. On a given physical node, rows for a given
-partition key are stored in the order induced by the clustering columns,
-making the retrieval of rows in that clustering order particularly
-efficient (see `SELECT`).
-
-[[createTableStatic]]
-===== `STATIC` columns
-
-Some columns can be declared as `STATIC` in a table definition. A column
-that is static will be ``shared'' by all the rows belonging to the same
-partition (having the same partition key). For instance, in:
-
-bc(sample). +
-CREATE TABLE test ( +
-pk int, +
-t int, +
-v text, +
-s text static, +
-PRIMARY KEY (pk, t) +
-); +
-INSERT INTO test(pk, t, v, s) VALUES (0, 0, `val0', `static0'); +
-INSERT INTO test(pk, t, v, s) VALUES (0, 1, `val1', `static1'); +
-SELECT * FROM test WHERE pk=0 AND t=0;
-
-the last query will return `'static1'` as value for `s`, since `s` is
-static and thus the 2nd insertion modified this ``shared'' value. Note
-however that static columns are only static within a given partition,
-and if in the example above both rows where from different partitions
-(i.e. if they had different value for `pk`), then the 2nd insertion
-would not have modified the value of `s` for the first row.
-
-A few restrictions applies to when static columns are allowed:
-
-* tables with the `COMPACT STORAGE` option (see below) cannot have them
-* a table without clustering columns cannot have static columns (in a
-table without clustering columns, every partition has only one row, and
-so every column is inherently static).
-* only non `PRIMARY KEY` columns can be static
-
-[[createTableOptions]]
-===== `<option>`
-
-The `CREATE TABLE` statement supports a number of options that controls
-the configuration of a new table. These options can be specified after
-the `WITH` keyword.
-
-The first of these option is `COMPACT STORAGE`. This option is mainly
-targeted towards backward compatibility for definitions created before
-CQL3 (see
-http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/thrift-to-cql3[www.datastax.com/dev/blog/thrift-to-cql3]
-for more details). The option also provides a slightly more compact
-layout of data on disk but at the price of diminished flexibility and
-extensibility for the table. Most notably, `COMPACT STORAGE` tables
-cannot have collections nor static columns and a `COMPACT STORAGE` table
-with at least one clustering column supports exactly one (as in not 0
-nor more than 1) column not part of the `PRIMARY KEY` definition (which
-imply in particular that you cannot add nor remove columns after
-creation). For those reasons, `COMPACT STORAGE` is not recommended
-outside of the backward compatibility reason evoked above.
-
-Another option is `CLUSTERING ORDER`. It allows to define the ordering
-of rows on disk. It takes the list of the clustering column names with,
-for each of them, the on-disk order (Ascending or descending). Note that
-this option affects link:#selectOrderBy[what `ORDER BY` are allowed
-during `SELECT`].
-
-Table creation supports the following other `<property>`:
-
-[cols=",,,",options="header",]
-|===
-|option |kind |default |description
-|`comment` |_simple_ |none |A free-form, human-readable comment.
-
-|`gc_grace_seconds` |_simple_ |864000 |Time to wait before garbage
-collecting tombstones (deletion markers).
-
-|`bloom_filter_fp_chance` |_simple_ |0.00075 |The target probability of
-false positive of the sstable bloom filters. Said bloom filters will be
-sized to provide the provided probability (thus lowering this value
-impact the size of bloom filters in-memory and on-disk)
-
-|`default_time_to_live` |_simple_ |0 |The default expiration time
-(``TTL'') in seconds for a table.
-
-|`compaction` |_map_ |_see below_ |Compaction options, see
-link:#compactionOptions[below].
-
-|`compression` |_map_ |_see below_ |Compression options, see
-link:#compressionOptions[below].
-
-|`caching` |_map_ |_see below_ |Caching options, see
-link:#cachingOptions[below].
-|===
-
-[[compactionOptions]]
-===== Compaction options
-
-The `compaction` property must at least define the `'class'` sub-option,
-that defines the compaction strategy class to use. The default supported
-class are `'SizeTieredCompactionStrategy'`,
-`'LeveledCompactionStrategy'`, `'DateTieredCompactionStrategy'` and
-`'TimeWindowCompactionStrategy'`. Custom strategy can be provided by
-specifying the full class name as a link:#constants[string constant].
-The rest of the sub-options depends on the chosen class. The sub-options
-supported by the default classes are:
-
-[cols=",,,",options="header",]
-|===
-|option |supported compaction strategy |default |description
-|`enabled` |_all_ |true |A boolean denoting whether compaction should be
-enabled or not.
-
-|`tombstone_threshold` |_all_ |0.2 |A ratio such that if a sstable has
-more than this ratio of gcable tombstones over all contained columns,
-the sstable will be compacted (with no other sstables) for the purpose
-of purging those tombstones.
-
-|`tombstone_compaction_interval` |_all_ |1 day |The minimum time to wait
-after an sstable creation time before considering it for ``tombstone
-compaction'', where ``tombstone compaction'' is the compaction triggered
-if the sstable has more gcable tombstones than `tombstone_threshold`.
-
-|`unchecked_tombstone_compaction` |_all_ |false |Setting this to true
-enables more aggressive tombstone compactions - single sstable tombstone
-compactions will run without checking how likely it is that they will be
-successful.
-
-|`min_sstable_size` |SizeTieredCompactionStrategy |50MB |The size tiered
-strategy groups SSTables to compact in buckets. A bucket groups SSTables
-that differs from less than 50% in size. However, for small sizes, this
-would result in a bucketing that is too fine grained. `min_sstable_size`
-defines a size threshold (in bytes) below which all SSTables belong to
-one unique bucket
-
-|`min_threshold` |SizeTieredCompactionStrategy |4 |Minimum number of
-SSTables needed to start a minor compaction.
-
-|`max_threshold` |SizeTieredCompactionStrategy |32 |Maximum number of
-SSTables processed by one minor compaction.
-
-|`bucket_low` |SizeTieredCompactionStrategy |0.5 |Size tiered consider
-sstables to be within the same bucket if their size is within
-[average_size * `bucket_low`, average_size * `bucket_high` ] (i.e the
-default groups sstable whose sizes diverges by at most 50%)
-

-===== Compression options
-
-For the `compression` property, the following sub-options are available:
-
-[cols=",,,,,",options="header",]
-|===
-|option |default |description | | |
-|`class` |LZ4Compressor |The compression algorithm to use. Default
-compressor are: LZ4Compressor, SnappyCompressor and DeflateCompressor.
-Use `'enabled' : false` to disable compression. Custom compressor can be
-provided by specifying the full class name as a link:#constants[string
-constant]. | | |
-
-|`enabled` |true |By default compression is enabled. To disable it, set
-`enabled` to `false` |`chunk_length_in_kb` |64KB |On disk SSTables are
-compressed by block (to allow random reads). This defines the size (in
-KB) of said block. Bigger values may improve the compression rate, but
-increases the minimum size of data to be read from disk for a read
-
-|`crc_check_chance` |1.0 |When compression is enabled, each compressed
-block includes a checksum of that block for the purpose of detecting
-disk bitrot and avoiding the propagation of corruption to other replica.
-This option defines the probability with which those checksums are
-checked during read. By default they are always checked. Set to 0 to
-disable checksum checking and to 0.5 for instance to check them every
-other read | | |

-
-[[cachingOptions]]
-===== Caching options
-
-For the `caching` property, the following sub-options are available:
-
-[cols=",,",options="header",]
-|===
-|option |default |description
-|`keys` |ALL |Whether to cache keys (``key cache'') for this table.
-Valid values are: `ALL` and `NONE`.
-
-|`rows_per_partition` |NONE |The amount of rows to cache per partition
-(``row cache''). If an integer `n` is specified, the first `n` queried
-rows of a partition will be cached. Other possible options are `ALL`, to
-cache all rows of a queried partition, or `NONE` to disable row caching.
-|===
-
-===== Other considerations:
-
-* When link:#insertStmt[inserting] / link:#updateStmt[updating] a given
-row, not all columns needs to be defined (except for those part of the
-key), and missing columns occupy no space on disk. Furthermore, adding
-new columns (see `ALTER TABLE`) is a constant time operation. There is
-thus no need to try to anticipate future usage (or to cry when you
-haven’t) when creating a table.
-
-[[alterTableStmt]]
-==== ALTER TABLE
-
-_Syntax:_
-
-bc(syntax).. +
-::= ALTER (TABLE | COLUMNFAMILY) (IF EXISTS)?
-
-::= ADD (IF NOT EXISTS)? +
-| ADD  (IF NOT EXISTS)? ( ( , )* ) +
-| DROP (IF EXISTS)?  +
-| DROP (IF EXISTS)? ( ( , )* ) +
-| RENAME (IF EXISTS)? TO (AND TO)* +
-| WITH ( AND )* +
-p. +
-_Sample:_
-
-bc(sample).. +
-ALTER TABLE addamsFamily
-
-ALTER TABLE addamsFamily +
-ADD gravesite varchar;
-
-ALTER TABLE addamsFamily +
-WITH comment = `A most excellent and useful column family'; +
-p. +
-The `ALTER` statement is used to manipulate table definitions. It allows
-for adding new columns, dropping existing ones, or updating the table
-options. As with table creation, `ALTER COLUMNFAMILY` is allowed as an
-alias for `ALTER TABLE`.
-If the table does not exist, the statement will return an error, unless `IF EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
-
-The `<tablename>` is the table name optionally preceded by the keyspace
-name. The `<instruction>` defines the alteration to perform:
-
-* `ADD`: Adds a new column to the table. The `<identifier>` for the new
-column must not conflict with an existing column. Moreover, columns
-cannot be added to tables defined with the `COMPACT STORAGE` option.
-If the new column already exists, the statement will return an error, unless `IF NOT EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
-* `DROP`: Removes a column from the table. Dropped columns will
-immediately become unavailable in the queries and will not be included
-in compacted sstables in the future. If a column is readded, queries
-won’t return values written before the column was last dropped. It is
-assumed that timestamps represent actual time, so if this is not your
-case, you should NOT read previously dropped columns. Columns can’t be
-dropped from tables defined with the `COMPACT STORAGE` option.
-If the dropped column does not already exist, the statement will return an error, unless `IF EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
-* `RENAME` a primary key column of a table. Non primary key columns cannot be renamed.
-Furthermore, renaming a column to another name which already exists isn't allowed.
-It's important to keep in mind that renamed columns shouldn't have dependent seconday indexes.
-If the renamed column does not already exist, the statement will return an error, unless `IF EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
-
-* `WITH`: Allows to update the options of the table. The
-link:#createTableOptions[supported `<option>`] (and syntax) are the same
-as for the `CREATE TABLE` statement except that `COMPACT STORAGE` is not
-supported. Note that setting any `compaction` sub-options has the effect
-of erasing all previous `compaction` options, so you need to re-specify
-all the sub-options if you want to keep them. The same note applies to
-the set of `compression` sub-options.
-
-===== CQL type compatibility:
-
-CQL data types may be converted only as the following table.
-

-CREATE CUSTOM INDEX ON users (email) USING `path.to.the.IndexClass' WITH
-OPTIONS = \{’storage’: `/mnt/ssd/indexes/'};
-
-The `CREATE INDEX` statement is used to create a new (automatic)
-secondary index for a given (existing) column in a given table. A name
-for the index itself can be specified before the `ON` keyword, if
-desired. If data already exists for the column, it will be indexed
-asynchronously. After the index is created, new data for the column is
-indexed automatically at insertion time.
-
-Attempting to create an already existing index will return an error
-unless the `IF NOT EXISTS` option is used. If it is used, the statement
-will be a no-op if the index already exists.
-
-[[keysIndex]]
-===== Indexes on Map Keys
-
-When creating an index on a link:#map[map column], you may index either
-the keys or the values. If the column identifier is placed within the
-`keys()` function, the index will be on the map keys, allowing you to
-use `CONTAINS KEY` in `WHERE` clauses. Otherwise, the index will be on
-the map values.

-p. +
-The `DROP INDEX` statement is used to drop an existing secondary index.
-The argument of the statement is the index name, which may optionally

-SELECT * +
-FROM monkeySpecies +
-WHERE population IS NOT NULL AND species IS NOT NULL +
-PRIMARY KEY (population, species) +
-WITH comment=`Allow query by population instead of species'; +
-p. +
-The `CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW` statement creates a new materialized
-view. Each such view is a set of _rows_ which corresponds to rows which
-are present in the underlying, or base, table specified in the `SELECT`
-statement. A materialized view cannot be directly updated, but updates
-to the base table will cause corresponding updates in the view.
-
-Attempting to create an already existing materialized view will return
-an error unless the `IF NOT EXISTS` option is used. If it is used, the
-statement will be a no-op if the materialized view already exists.
-
-[[createMVWhere]]
-===== `WHERE` Clause
-
-The `<where-clause>` is similar to the link:#selectWhere[where clause of
-a `SELECT` statement], with a few differences. First, the where clause
-must contain an expression that disallows `NULL` values in columns in
-the view’s primary key. If no other restriction is desired, this can be
-accomplished with an `IS NOT NULL` expression. Second, only columns
-which are in the base table’s primary key may be restricted with
-expressions other than `IS NOT NULL`. (Note that this second restriction
-may be lifted in the future.)
-
-[[alterMVStmt]]
-==== ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW
-
-_Syntax:_

-
-CREATE TYPE work_and_home_addresses ( +
-home_address address, +

-p. +
-The `CREATE TYPE` statement creates a new user-defined type. Each type
-is a set of named, typed fields. Field types may be any valid type,
-including collections and other existing user-defined types.
-
-Attempting to create an already existing type will result in an error
-unless the `IF NOT EXISTS` option is used. If it is used, the statement
-will be a no-op if the type already exists.
-
-[[createTypeName]]
-===== `<typename>`
-
-Valid type names are identifiers. The names of existing CQL types and
-link:#appendixB[reserved type names] may not be used.
-
-If the type name is provided alone, the type is created with the current
-keyspace (see `USE`). If it is prefixed by an existing keyspace name,
-the type is created within the specified keyspace instead of the current

-
-The actual logic that makes up the trigger can be written in any Java
-(JVM) language and exists outside the database. You place the trigger
-code in a `lib/triggers` subdirectory of the Cassandra installation
-directory, it loads during cluster startup, and exists on every node

-
-`CREATE FUNCTION` creates or replaces a user-defined function.
-
-[[functionSignature]]
-===== Function Signature
-
-Signatures are used to distinguish individual functions. The signature
-consists of:
-
-. The fully qualified function name - i.e _keyspace_ plus
-_function-name_
-. The concatenated list of all argument types
-
-Note that keyspace names, function names and argument types are subject
-to the default naming conventions and case-sensitivity rules.
-
-`CREATE FUNCTION` with the optional `OR REPLACE` keywords either creates
-a function or replaces an existing one with the same signature. A
-`CREATE FUNCTION` without `OR REPLACE` fails if a function with the same
-signature already exists.
-
-Behavior on invocation with `null` values must be defined for each
-function. There are two options:
-
-. `RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT` declares that the function will always
-return `null` if any of the input arguments is `null`.
-. `CALLED ON NULL INPUT` declares that the function will always be
-executed.
-
-If the optional `IF NOT EXISTS` keywords are used, the function will
-only be created if another function with the same signature does not
-exist.
-
-`OR REPLACE` and `IF NOT EXIST` cannot be used together.
-
-Functions belong to a keyspace. If no keyspace is specified in
-`<function-name>`, the current keyspace is used (i.e. the keyspace
-specified using the link:#useStmt[`USE`] statement). It is not possible
-to create a user-defined function in one of the system keyspaces.
-
-See the section on link:#udfs[user-defined functions] for more
-information.

-DROP FUNCTION mykeyspace.afunction; +
-DROP FUNCTION afunction ( int ); +
-DROP FUNCTION afunction ( text );
-
-`DROP FUNCTION` statement removes a function created using
-`CREATE FUNCTION`. +
-You must specify the argument types (link:#functionSignature[signature]
-) of the function to drop if there are multiple functions with the same
-name but a different signature (overloaded functions).
-
-`DROP FUNCTION` with the optional `IF EXISTS` keywords drops a function

-
-bc(sample). +
-CREATE AGGREGATE myaggregate ( val text ) +
-SFUNC myaggregate_state +
-STYPE text +
-FINALFUNC myaggregate_final +
-INITCOND `foo';
-
-See the section on link:#udas[user-defined aggregates] for a complete
-example.
-
-`CREATE AGGREGATE` creates or replaces a user-defined aggregate.
-
-`CREATE AGGREGATE` with the optional `OR REPLACE` keywords either
-creates an aggregate or replaces an existing one with the same
-signature. A `CREATE AGGREGATE` without `OR REPLACE` fails if an
-aggregate with the same signature already exists.
-
-`CREATE AGGREGATE` with the optional `IF NOT EXISTS` keywords either
-creates an aggregate if it does not already exist.
-
-`OR REPLACE` and `IF NOT EXIST` cannot be used together.
-
-Aggregates belong to a keyspace. If no keyspace is specified in
-`<aggregate-name>`, the current keyspace is used (i.e. the keyspace
-specified using the link:#useStmt[`USE`] statement). It is not possible
-to create a user-defined aggregate in one of the system keyspaces.
-
-Signatures for user-defined aggregates follow the
-link:#functionSignature[same rules] as for user-defined functions.
-
-`STYPE` defines the type of the state value and must be specified.
-
-The optional `INITCOND` defines the initial state value for the
-aggregate. It defaults to `null`. A non-`null` `INITCOND` must be
-specified for state functions that are declared with
-`RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT`.
-
-`SFUNC` references an existing function to be used as the state
-modifying function. The type of first argument of the state function
-must match `STYPE`. The remaining argument types of the state function
-must match the argument types of the aggregate function. State is not
-updated for state functions declared with `RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT`
-and called with `null`.
-
-The optional `FINALFUNC` is called just before the aggregate result is
-returned. It must take only one argument with type `STYPE`. The return
-type of the `FINALFUNC` may be a different type. A final function
-declared with `RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT` means that the aggregate’s
-return value will be `null`, if the last state is `null`.
-
-If no `FINALFUNC` is defined, the overall return type of the aggregate
-function is `STYPE`. If a `FINALFUNC` is defined, it is the return type
-of that function.
-
-See the section on link:#udas[user-defined aggregates] for more
-information.

-
-The `DROP AGGREGATE` statement removes an aggregate created using
-`CREATE AGGREGATE`. You must specify the argument types of the aggregate
-to drop if there are multiple aggregates with the same name but a
-different signature (overloaded aggregates).
-
-`DROP AGGREGATE` with the optional `IF EXISTS` keywords drops an

-
-INSERT INTO NerdMovies JSON `\{``movie'': ``Serenity'', ``director'':
-``Joss Whedon'', ``year'': 2005}' +
-p. +
-The `INSERT` statement writes one or more columns for a given row in a
-table. Note that since a row is identified by its `PRIMARY KEY`, at
-least the columns composing it must be specified. The list of columns to
-insert to must be supplied when using the `VALUES` syntax. When using
-the `JSON` syntax, they are optional. See the section on
-link:#insertJson[`INSERT JSON`] for more details.
-
-Note that unlike in SQL, `INSERT` does not check the prior existence of
-the row by default: the row is created if none existed before, and
-updated otherwise. Furthermore, there is no mean to know which of
-creation or update happened.
-
-It is however possible to use the `IF NOT EXISTS` condition to only
-insert if the row does not exist prior to the insertion. But please note
-that using `IF NOT EXISTS` will incur a non negligible performance cost
-(internally, Paxos will be used) so this should be used sparingly.
-
-All updates for an `INSERT` are applied atomically and in isolation.
-
-Please refer to the link:#updateOptions[`UPDATE`] section for
-information on the `<option>` available and to the
-link:#collections[collections] section for use of
-`<collection-literal>`. Also note that `INSERT` does not support

-The `UPDATE` statement writes one or more columns for a given row in a
-table. The `<where-clause>` is used to select the row to update and must
-include all columns composing the `PRIMARY KEY`. Other columns values
-are specified through `<assignment>` after the `SET` keyword.
-
-Note that unlike in SQL, `UPDATE` does not check the prior existence of
-the row by default (except through the use of `<condition>`, see below):
-the row is created if none existed before, and updated otherwise.
-Furthermore, there are no means to know whether a creation or update
-occurred.
-
-It is however possible to use the conditions on some columns through
-`IF`, in which case the row will not be updated unless the conditions
-are met. But, please note that using `IF` conditions will incur a
-non-negligible performance cost (internally, Paxos will be used) so this
-should be used sparingly.
-
-In an `UPDATE` statement, all updates within the same partition key are
-applied atomically and in isolation.
-
-The `c = c + 3` form of `<assignment>` is used to increment/decrement
-counters. The identifier after the `=' sign *must* be the same than the
-one before the `=' sign (Only increment/decrement is supported on
-counters, not the assignment of a specific value).
-
-The `id = id + <collection-literal>` and `id[value1] = value2` forms of
-`<assignment>` are for collections. Please refer to the
-link:#collections[relevant section] for more details.
-
-The `id.field = <term>` form of `<assignemt>` is for setting the value
-of a single field on a non-frozen user-defined types.
-
-[[updateOptions]]
-===== `<options>`
-
-The `UPDATE` and `INSERT` statements support the following options:
-
-* `TIMESTAMP`: sets the timestamp for the operation. If not specified,
-the coordinator will use the current time (in microseconds) at the start
-of statement execution as the timestamp. This is usually a suitable
-default.
-* `TTL`: specifies an optional Time To Live (in seconds) for the
-inserted values. If set, the inserted values are automatically removed
-from the database after the specified time. Note that the TTL concerns
-the inserted values, not the columns themselves. This means that any
-subsequent update of the column will also reset the TTL (to whatever TTL
-is specified in that update). By default, values never expire. A TTL of
-0 is equivalent to no TTL. If the table has a default_time_to_live, a
-TTL of 0 will remove the TTL for the inserted or updated values.

-bc(sample).. +
-DELETE FROM NerdMovies USING TIMESTAMP 1240003134 WHERE movie =
-`Serenity';
-
-DELETE phone FROM Users WHERE userid IN
-(C73DE1D3-AF08-40F3-B124-3FF3E5109F22,
-B70DE1D0-9908-4AE3-BE34-5573E5B09F14); +
-p. +
-The `DELETE` statement deletes columns and rows. If column names are
-provided directly after the `DELETE` keyword, only those columns are
-deleted from the row indicated by the `<where-clause>`. The `id[value]`
-syntax in `<selection>` is for non-frozen collections (please refer to
-the link:#collections[collection section] for more details). The
-`id.field` syntax is for the deletion of non-frozen user-defined types.
-Otherwise, whole rows are removed. The `<where-clause>` specifies which
-rows are to be deleted. Multiple rows may be deleted with one statement
-by using an `IN` clause. A range of rows may be deleted using an
-inequality operator (such as `>=`).
-
-`DELETE` supports the `TIMESTAMP` option with the same semantics as the
-link:#updateStmt[`UPDATE`] statement.
-
-In a `DELETE` statement, all deletions within the same partition key are
-applied atomically and in isolation.
-
-A `DELETE` operation can be conditional through the use of an `IF`
-clause, similar to `UPDATE` and `INSERT` statements. However, as with
-`INSERT` and `UPDATE` statements, this will incur a non-negligible
-performance cost (internally, Paxos will be used) and so should be used
-sparingly.
-
-[[batchStmt]]
-==== BATCH
-
-_Syntax:_
-
-bc(syntax).. +
-::= BEGIN ( UNLOGGED | COUNTER ) BATCH +
-( USING ( AND )* )? +
-( `;' )* +
-APPLY BATCH
-
-::=  +
-|  +

-
-::= TIMESTAMP  +
-p. +
-_Sample:_
-
-bc(sample). +
-BEGIN BATCH +
-INSERT INTO users (userid, password, name) VALUES (`user2', `ch@ngem3b',
-`second user'); +
-UPDATE users SET password = `ps22dhds' WHERE userid = `user3'; +
-INSERT INTO users (userid, password) VALUES (`user4', `ch@ngem3c'); +
-DELETE name FROM users WHERE userid = `user1'; +
-APPLY BATCH;
-
-The `BATCH` statement group multiple modification statements
-(insertions/updates and deletions) into a single statement. It serves
-several purposes:
-
-. It saves network round-trips between the client and the server (and
-sometimes between the server coordinator and the replicas) when batching
-multiple updates.
-. All updates in a `BATCH` belonging to a given partition key are
-performed in isolation.
-. By default, all operations in the batch are performed as `LOGGED`, to
-ensure all mutations eventually complete (or none will). See the notes
-on link:#unloggedBatch[`UNLOGGED`] for more details.
-
-Note that:
-
-* `BATCH` statements may only contain `UPDATE`, `INSERT` and `DELETE`
-statements.
-* Batches are _not_ a full analogue for SQL transactions.
-* If a timestamp is not specified for each operation, then all
-operations will be applied with the same timestamp. Due to Cassandra’s
-conflict resolution procedure in the case of
-http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/FAQ#clocktie[timestamp ties],
-operations may be applied in an order that is different from the order
-they are listed in the `BATCH` statement. To force a particular
-operation ordering, you must specify per-operation timestamps.
-
-[[unloggedBatch]]
-===== `UNLOGGED`
-
-By default, Cassandra uses a batch log to ensure all operations in a
-batch eventually complete or none will (note however that operations are
-only isolated within a single partition).
-
-There is a performance penalty for batch atomicity when a batch spans
-multiple partitions. If you do not want to incur this penalty, you can
-tell Cassandra to skip the batchlog with the `UNLOGGED` option. If the
-`UNLOGGED` option is used, a failed batch might leave the patch only
-partly applied.
-
-[[counterBatch]]
-===== `COUNTER`
-
-Use the `COUNTER` option for batched counter updates. Unlike other
-updates in Cassandra, counter updates are not idempotent.
-
-[[batchOptions]]
-===== `<option>`
-
-`BATCH` supports both the `TIMESTAMP` option, with similar semantic to
-the one described in the link:#updateOptions[`UPDATE`] statement (the
-timestamp applies to all the statement inside the batch). However, if
-used, `TIMESTAMP` *must not* be used in the statements within the batch.

-_Sample:_
-

-SELECT name, occupation FROM users WHERE userid IN (199, 200, 207);
-
-SELECT JSON name, occupation FROM users WHERE userid = 199;
-
-SELECT name AS user_name, occupation AS user_occupation FROM users;
-
-SELECT time, value +
-FROM events +
-WHERE event_type = `myEvent' +
-AND time > `2011-02-03' +
-AND time <= `2012-01-01'
-
-SELECT COUNT (*) FROM users;
-
-SELECT COUNT (*) AS user_count FROM users;
-
-The `SELECT` statements reads one or more columns for one or more rows
-in a table. It returns a result-set of rows, where each row contains the
-collection of columns corresponding to the query. If the `JSON` keyword
-is used, the results for each row will contain only a single column
-named ``json''. See the section on link:#selectJson[`SELECT JSON`] for
-more details.
-
-[[selectSelection]]
-===== `<select-clause>`
-
-The `<select-clause>` determines which columns needs to be queried and
-returned in the result-set. It consists of either the comma-separated
-list of or the wildcard character (`*`) to select all the columns
-defined for the table. Please note that for wildcard `SELECT` queries
-the order of columns returned is not specified and is not guaranteed to
-be stable between Cassandra versions.
-
-A `<selector>` is either a column name to retrieve or a `<function>` of
-one or more `<term>`s. The function allowed are the same as for `<term>`
-and are described in the link:#functions[function section]. In addition
-to these generic functions, the `WRITETIME` (resp. `TTL`) function
-allows to select the timestamp of when the column was inserted (resp.
-the time to live (in seconds) for the column (or null if the column has
-no expiration set)) and the link:#castFun[`CAST`] function can be used
-to convert one data type to another. The `WRITETIME` and `TTL` functions
-can't be used on multi-cell columns such as non-frozen collections or
-non-frozen user-defined types.
-
-Additionally, individual values of maps and sets can be selected using
-`[ <term> ]`. For maps, this will return the value corresponding to the
-key, if such entry exists. For sets, this will return the key that is
-selected if it exists and is thus mainly a way to check element
-existence. It is also possible to select a slice of a set or map with
-`[ <term> ... <term> `], where both bound can be omitted.
-
-Any `<selector>` can be aliased using `AS` keyword (see examples).
-Please note that `<where-clause>` and `<order-by>` clause should refer
-to the columns by their original names and not by their aliases.
-
-The `COUNT` keyword can be used with parenthesis enclosing `*`. If so,
-the query will return a single result: the number of rows matching the
-query. Note that `COUNT(1)` is supported as an alias.
-
-[[selectWhere]]
-===== `<where-clause>`
-
-The `<where-clause>` specifies which rows must be queried. It is
-composed of relations on the columns that are part of the `PRIMARY KEY`
-and/or have a link:#createIndexStmt[secondary index] defined on them.
-
-Not all relations are allowed in a query. For instance, non-equal
-relations (where `IN` is considered as an equal relation) on a partition
-key are not supported (but see the use of the `TOKEN` method below to do
-non-equal queries on the partition key). Moreover, for a given partition
-key, the clustering columns induce an ordering of rows and relations on
-them is restricted to the relations that allow to select a *contiguous*
-(for the ordering) set of rows. For instance, given
-
-bc(sample). +
-CREATE TABLE posts ( +
-userid text, +
-blog_title text, +
-posted_at timestamp, +
-entry_title text, +
-content text, +
-category int, +
-PRIMARY KEY (userid, blog_title, posted_at) +
-)
-
-The following query is allowed:
-
-bc(sample). +
-SELECT entry_title, content FROM posts WHERE userid=`john doe' AND
-blog_title=`John'`s Blog' AND posted_at >= `2012-01-01' AND posted_at <
-`2012-01-31'
-
-But the following one is not, as it does not select a contiguous set of
-rows (and we suppose no secondary indexes are set):
-
-bc(sample). +
-// Needs a blog_title to be set to select ranges of posted_at +
-SELECT entry_title, content FROM posts WHERE userid=`john doe' AND
-posted_at >= `2012-01-01' AND posted_at < `2012-01-31'
-
-When specifying relations, the `TOKEN` function can be used on the
-`PARTITION KEY` column to query. In that case, rows will be selected
-based on the token of their `PARTITION_KEY` rather than on the value.
-Note that the token of a key depends on the partitioner in use, and that
-in particular the RandomPartitioner won’t yield a meaningful order. Also
-note that ordering partitioners always order token values by bytes (so
-even if the partition key is of type int, `token(-1) > token(0)` in
-particular). Example:
-
-bc(sample). +
-SELECT * FROM posts WHERE token(userid) > token(`tom') AND token(userid)
-< token(`bob')
-
-Moreover, the `IN` relation is only allowed on the last column of the
-partition key and on the last column of the full primary key.
-
-It is also possible to ``group'' `CLUSTERING COLUMNS` together in a
-relation using the tuple notation. For instance:
-
-bc(sample). +
-SELECT * FROM posts WHERE userid=`john doe' AND (blog_title, posted_at)
-> (`John'`s Blog', `2012-01-01')
-
-will request all rows that sorts after the one having ``John’s Blog'' as
-`blog_tile` and `2012-01-01' for `posted_at` in the clustering order. In
-particular, rows having a `post_at <= '2012-01-01'` will be returned as
-long as their `blog_title > 'John''s Blog'`, which wouldn’t be the case
-for:
-
-bc(sample). +
-SELECT * FROM posts WHERE userid=`john doe' AND blog_title > `John'`s
-Blog' AND posted_at > `2012-01-01'
-
-The tuple notation may also be used for `IN` clauses on
-`CLUSTERING COLUMNS`:
-
-bc(sample). +
-SELECT * FROM posts WHERE userid=`john doe' AND (blog_title, posted_at)
-IN ((`John'`s Blog', `2012-01-01), (’Extreme Chess', `2014-06-01'))
-
-The `CONTAINS` operator may only be used on collection columns (lists,
-sets, and maps). In the case of maps, `CONTAINS` applies to the map
-values. The `CONTAINS KEY` operator may only be used on map columns and
-applies to the map keys.
-
-[[selectOrderBy]]
-===== `<order-by>`
-
-The `ORDER BY` option allows to select the order of the returned
-results. It takes as argument a list of column names along with the
-order for the column (`ASC` for ascendant and `DESC` for descendant,
-omitting the order being equivalent to `ASC`). Currently the possible
-orderings are limited (which depends on the table
-link:#createTableOptions[`CLUSTERING ORDER`] ):
-
-* if the table has been defined without any specific `CLUSTERING ORDER`,
-then then allowed orderings are the order induced by the clustering
-columns and the reverse of that one.
-* otherwise, the orderings allowed are the order of the
-`CLUSTERING ORDER` option and the reversed one.
-
-[[selectGroupBy]]
-===== `<group-by>`
-
-The `GROUP BY` option allows to condense into a single row all selected
-rows that share the same values for a set of columns.
-
-Using the `GROUP BY` option, it is only possible to group rows at the
-partition key level or at a clustering column level. By consequence, the
-`GROUP BY` option only accept as arguments primary key column names in
-the primary key order. If a primary key column is restricted by an
-equality restriction it is not required to be present in the `GROUP BY`
-clause.
-
-Aggregate functions will produce a separate value for each group. If no
-`GROUP BY` clause is specified, aggregates functions will produce a
-single value for all the rows.
-
-If a column is selected without an aggregate function, in a statement
-with a `GROUP BY`, the first value encounter in each group will be
-returned.
-
-[[selectLimit]]
-===== `LIMIT` and `PER PARTITION LIMIT`
-
-The `LIMIT` option to a `SELECT` statement limits the number of rows
-returned by a query, while the `PER PARTITION LIMIT` option limits the
-number of rows returned for a given partition by the query. Note that
-both type of limit can used in the same statement.
-
-[[selectAllowFiltering]]
-===== `ALLOW FILTERING`
-
-By default, CQL only allows select queries that don’t involve
-``filtering'' server side, i.e. queries where we know that all (live)
-record read will be returned (maybe partly) in the result set. The
-reasoning is that those ``non filtering'' queries have predictable
-performance in the sense that they will execute in a time that is
-proportional to the amount of data *returned* by the query (which can be
-controlled through `LIMIT`).
-
-The `ALLOW FILTERING` option allows to explicitly allow (some) queries
-that require filtering. Please note that a query using `ALLOW FILTERING`
-may thus have unpredictable performance (for the definition above), i.e.
-even a query that selects a handful of records *may* exhibit performance
-that depends on the total amount of data stored in the cluster.
-
-For instance, considering the following table holding user profiles with
-their year of birth (with a secondary index on it) and country of
-residence:
-
-bc(sample).. +
-CREATE TABLE users ( +
-username text PRIMARY KEY, +
-firstname text, +
-lastname text, +
-birth_year int, +
-country text +
-)
-
-CREATE INDEX ON users(birth_year); +
-p.
-
-Then the following queries are valid:
-
-bc(sample). +
-SELECT * FROM users; +
-SELECT firstname, lastname FROM users WHERE birth_year = 1981;
-
-because in both case, Cassandra guarantees that these queries
-performance will be proportional to the amount of data returned. In
-particular, if no users are born in 1981, then the second query
-performance will not depend of the number of user profile stored in the
-database (not directly at least: due to secondary index implementation
-consideration, this query may still depend on the number of node in the
-cluster, which indirectly depends on the amount of data stored.
-Nevertheless, the number of nodes will always be multiple number of
-magnitude lower than the number of user profile stored). Of course, both
-query may return very large result set in practice, but the amount of
-data returned can always be controlled by adding a `LIMIT`.
-
-However, the following query will be rejected:
-
-bc(sample). +
-SELECT firstname, lastname FROM users WHERE birth_year = 1981 AND
-country = `FR';
-
-because Cassandra cannot guarantee that it won’t have to scan large
-amount of data even if the result to those query is small. Typically, it
-will scan all the index entries for users born in 1981 even if only a
-handful are actually from France. However, if you ``know what you are
-doing'', you can force the execution of this query by using
-`ALLOW FILTERING` and so the following query is valid:
-
-bc(sample). +
-SELECT firstname, lastname FROM users WHERE birth_year = 1981 AND
-country = `FR' ALLOW FILTERING;

-CREATE ROLE carlos WITH OPTIONS = \{ `custom_option1' : `option1_value',
-`custom_option2' : 99 };
-
-By default roles do not possess `LOGIN` privileges or `SUPERUSER`
-status.
-
-link:#permissions[Permissions] on database resources are granted to
-roles; types of resources include keyspaces, tables, functions and roles
-themselves. Roles may be granted to other roles to create hierarchical

-`SUPERUSER` status are inherited, but the `LOGIN` privilege is not.
-
-If a role has the `LOGIN` privilege, clients may identify as that role
-when connecting. For the duration of that connection, the client will
-acquire any roles and privileges granted to that role.
-
-Only a client with with the `CREATE` permission on the database roles
-resource may issue `CREATE ROLE` requests (see the
-link:#permissions[relevant section] below), unless the client is a
-`SUPERUSER`. Role management in Cassandra is pluggable and custom

-aquired.
-
-bc(sample). +
-LIST ROLES OF `bob` NORECURSIVE
-
-List all roles directly granted to `bob`.
-
-[[createUserStmt]]
-==== CREATE USER
-
-Prior to the introduction of roles in Cassandra 2.2, authentication and
-authorization were based around the concept of a `USER`. For backward
-compatibility, the legacy syntax has been preserved with `USER` centric
-statments becoming synonyms for the `ROLE` based equivalents.
-
-_Syntax:_
-
-bc(syntax).. +
-::= CREATE USER ( IF NOT EXISTS )? ( WITH PASSWORD )? ()?
-
-::= SUPERUSER +
-| NOSUPERUSER +
-p.
-
-_Sample:_
-
-bc(sample). +
-CREATE USER alice WITH PASSWORD `password_a' SUPERUSER; +
-CREATE USER bob WITH PASSWORD `password_b' NOSUPERUSER;
-
-`CREATE USER` is equivalent to `CREATE ROLE` where the `LOGIN` option is
-`true`. So, the following pairs of statements are equivalent:
-
-bc(sample).. +
-CREATE USER alice WITH PASSWORD `password_a' SUPERUSER; +
-CREATE ROLE alice WITH PASSWORD = `password_a' AND LOGIN = true AND
-SUPERUSER = true;
-
-CREATE USER IF NOT EXISTS alice WITH PASSWORD `password_a' SUPERUSER; +
-CREATE ROLE IF NOT EXISTS alice WITH PASSWORD = `password_a' AND LOGIN =
-true AND SUPERUSER = true;
-
-CREATE USER alice WITH PASSWORD `password_a' NOSUPERUSER; +
-CREATE ROLE alice WITH PASSWORD = `password_a' AND LOGIN = true AND
-SUPERUSER = false;
-
-CREATE USER alice WITH PASSWORD `password_a' NOSUPERUSER; +
-CREATE ROLE alice WITH PASSWORD = `password_a' AND LOGIN = true;
-
-CREATE USER alice WITH PASSWORD `password_a'; +
-CREATE ROLE alice WITH PASSWORD = `password_a' AND LOGIN = true; +
-p.
-
-[[alterUserStmt]]
-==== ALTER USER
-
-_Syntax:_
-
-bc(syntax).. +
-::= ALTER USER (IF EXISTS)? ( WITH PASSWORD )? ( )?
-
-::= SUPERUSER +
-| NOSUPERUSER +
-p.
-
-bc(sample). +
-ALTER USER alice WITH PASSWORD `PASSWORD_A'; +
-ALTER USER bob SUPERUSER;
-
-If the user does not exist, the statement will return an error, unless `IF EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
-
-[[dropUserStmt]]
-==== DROP USER
-
-_Syntax:_
-
-bc(syntax).. +
-::= DROP USER ( IF EXISTS )?  +
-p.
-
-_Sample:_
-
-bc(sample). +
-DROP USER alice; +
-DROP USER IF EXISTS bob;
-
-[[listUsersStmt]]
-==== LIST USERS
-
-_Syntax:_
-
-bc(syntax). +
-::= LIST USERS;
-
-_Sample:_
-
-bc(sample). +
-LIST USERS;
-
-This statement is equivalent to
-
-bc(sample). +
-LIST ROLES;
-
-but only roles with the `LOGIN` privilege are included in the output.
-
-[[dataControl]]
-=== Data Control
-
-==== Permissions
-
-Permissions on resources are granted to roles; there are several
-different types of resources in Cassandra and each type is modelled
-hierarchically:
-
-* The hierarchy of Data resources, Keyspaces and Tables has the
-structure `ALL KEYSPACES` -> `KEYSPACE` -> `TABLE`
-* Function resources have the structure `ALL FUNCTIONS` -> `KEYSPACE` ->
-`FUNCTION`
-* Resources representing roles have the structure `ALL ROLES` -> `ROLE`
-* Resources representing JMX ObjectNames, which map to sets of
-MBeans/MXBeans, have the structure `ALL MBEANS` -> `MBEAN`
-
-Permissions can be granted at any level of these hierarchies and they
-flow downwards. So granting a permission on a resource higher up the
-chain automatically grants that same permission on all resources lower
-down. For example, granting `SELECT` on a `KEYSPACE` automatically
-grants it on all `TABLES` in that `KEYSPACE`. Likewise, granting a
-permission on `ALL FUNCTIONS` grants it on every defined function,
-regardless of which keyspace it is scoped in. It is also possible to
-grant permissions on all functions scoped to a particular keyspace.
-
-Modifications to permissions are visible to existing client sessions;
-that is, connections need not be re-established following permissions
-changes.
-
-The full set of available permissions is:
-
-* `CREATE`
-* `ALTER`
-* `DROP`
-* `SELECT`
-* `MODIFY`
-* `AUTHORIZE`
-* `DESCRIBE`
-* `EXECUTE`
-
-Not all permissions are applicable to every type of resource. For
-instance, `EXECUTE` is only relevant in the context of functions or
-mbeans; granting `EXECUTE` on a resource representing a table is
-nonsensical. Attempting to `GRANT` a permission on resource to which it
-cannot be applied results in an error response. The following
-illustrates which permissions can be granted on which types of resource,
-and which statements are enabled by that permission.

-[[types]]
-=== Data Types
-
-CQL supports a rich set of data types for columns defined in a table,
-including collection types. On top of those native +
-and collection types, users can also provide custom types (through a
-JAVA class extending `AbstractType` loadable by +
-Cassandra). The syntax of types is thus:
-
-bc(syntax).. +
-::=  +
-|  +
-|  +
-| // Used for custom types. The fully-qualified name of a JAVA class
-
-::= ascii +
-| bigint +
-| blob +
-| boolean +
-| counter +
-| date +
-| decimal +
-| double +
-| float +
-| inet +
-| int +
-| smallint +
-| text +
-| time +
-| timestamp +
-| timeuuid +
-| tinyint +
-| uuid +
-| varchar +
-| varint
-
-::= list `<' `>' +
-| set `<' `>' +
-| map `<' `,' `>' +
-::= tuple `<' (`,' )* `>' +
-p. Note that the native types are keywords and as such are
-case-insensitive. They are however not reserved ones.
-
-The following table gives additional informations on the native data

-

-
-[[usingtimestamps]]
-==== Working with timestamps
-
-Values of the `timestamp` type are encoded as 64-bit signed integers
-representing a number of milliseconds since the standard base time known
-as ``the epoch'': January 1 1970 at 00:00:00 GMT.
-
-Timestamp can be input in CQL as simple long integers, giving the number
-of milliseconds since the epoch, as defined above.
-
-They can also be input as string literals in any of the following ISO
-8601 formats, each representing the time and date Mar 2, 2011, at
-04:05:00 AM, GMT.:
-
-* `2011-02-03 04:05+0000`
-* `2011-02-03 04:05:00+0000`
-* `2011-02-03 04:05:00.000+0000`
-* `2011-02-03T04:05+0000`
-* `2011-02-03T04:05:00+0000`
-* `2011-02-03T04:05:00.000+0000`
-
-The `+0000` above is an RFC 822 4-digit time zone specification; `+0000`
-refers to GMT. US Pacific Standard Time is `-0800`. The time zone may be
-omitted if desired— the date will be interpreted as being in the time
-zone under which the coordinating Cassandra node is configured.
-
-* `2011-02-03 04:05`
-* `2011-02-03 04:05:00`
-* `2011-02-03 04:05:00.000`
-* `2011-02-03T04:05`
-* `2011-02-03T04:05:00`
-* `2011-02-03T04:05:00.000`
-
-There are clear difficulties inherent in relying on the time zone
-configuration being as expected, though, so it is recommended that the
-time zone always be specified for timestamps when feasible.
-
-The time of day may also be omitted, if the date is the only piece that
-matters:
-
-* `2011-02-03`
-* `2011-02-03+0000`
-
-In that case, the time of day will default to 00:00:00, in the specified
-or default time zone.
-
-[[usingdates]]
-==== Working with dates
-
-Values of the `date` type are encoded as 32-bit unsigned integers
-representing a number of days with ``the epoch'' at the center of the
-range (2^31). Epoch is January 1st, 1970
-
-A date can be input in CQL as an unsigned integer as defined above.
-
-They can also be input as string literals in the following format:
-
-* `2014-01-01`
-
-[[usingtime]]
-==== Working with time
-
-Values of the `time` type are encoded as 64-bit signed integers
-representing the number of nanoseconds since midnight.
-
-A time can be input in CQL as simple long integers, giving the number of
-nanoseconds since midnight.
-
-They can also be input as string literals in any of the following
-formats:
-
-* `08:12:54`
-* `08:12:54.123`
-* `08:12:54.123456`
-* `08:12:54.123456789`
-
-==== Counters
-
-The `counter` type is used to define _counter columns_. A counter column
-is a column whose value is a 64-bit signed integer and on which 2
-operations are supported: incrementation and decrementation (see
-link:#updateStmt[`UPDATE`] for syntax). Note the value of a counter
-cannot be set. A counter doesn’t exist until first
-incremented/decremented, and the first incrementation/decrementation is
-made as if the previous value was 0. Deletion of counter columns is
-supported but have some limitations (see the
-http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/Counters[Cassandra Wiki] for more
-information).
-
-The use of the counter type is limited in the following way:
-
-* It cannot be used for column that is part of the `PRIMARY KEY` of a
-table.
-* A table that contains a counter can only contain counters. In other
-words, either all the columns of a table outside the `PRIMARY KEY` have
-the counter type, or none of them have it.
-
-[[collections]]
-==== Working with collections
-
-===== Noteworthy characteristics
-
-Collections are meant for storing/denormalizing relatively small amount
-of data. They work well for things like ``the phone numbers of a given
-user'', ``labels applied to an email'', etc. But when items are expected
-to grow unbounded (``all the messages sent by a given user'', ``events
-registered by a sensor'', …), then collections are not appropriate
-anymore and a specific table (with clustering columns) should be used.
-Concretely, collections have the following limitations:
-
-* Collections are always read in their entirety (and reading one is not
-paged internally).
-* Collections cannot have more than 65535 elements. More precisely,
-while it may be possible to insert more than 65535 elements, it is not
-possible to read more than the 65535 first elements (see
-https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5428[CASSANDRA-5428] for
-details).
-* While insertion operations on sets and maps never incur a
-read-before-write internally, some operations on lists do (see the
-section on lists below for details). It is thus advised to prefer sets
-over lists when possible.
-
-Please note that while some of those limitations may or may not be
-loosen in the future, the general rule that collections are for
-denormalizing small amount of data is meant to stay.
-
-[[map]]
-===== Maps
-
-A `map` is a link:#types[typed] set of key-value pairs, where keys are
-unique. Furthermore, note that the map are internally sorted by their
-keys and will thus always be returned in that order. To create a column
-of type `map`, use the `map` keyword suffixed with comma-separated key
-and value types, enclosed in angle brackets. For example:
-
-bc(sample). +
-CREATE TABLE users ( +
-id text PRIMARY KEY, +
-given text, +
-surname text, +
-favs map<text, text> // A map of text keys, and text values +
-)
-
-Writing `map` data is accomplished with a JSON-inspired syntax. To write
-a record using `INSERT`, specify the entire map as a JSON-style
-associative array. _Note: This form will always replace the entire map._
-
-bc(sample). +
-// Inserting (or Updating) +
-INSERT INTO users (id, given, surname, favs) +
-VALUES (`jsmith', `John', `Smith', \{ `fruit' : `apple', `band' :
-`Beatles' })
-
-Adding or updating key-values of a (potentially) existing map can be
-accomplished either by subscripting the map column in an `UPDATE`
-statement or by adding a new map literal:
-
-bc(sample). +
-// Updating (or inserting) +
-UPDATE users SET favs[`author'] = `Ed Poe' WHERE id = `jsmith' +
-UPDATE users SET favs = favs + \{ `movie' : `Cassablanca' } WHERE id =
-`jsmith'
-
-Note that TTLs are allowed for both `INSERT` and `UPDATE`, but in both
-case the TTL set only apply to the newly inserted/updated _values_. In
-other words,
-
-bc(sample). +
-// Updating (or inserting) +
-UPDATE users USING TTL 10 SET favs[`color'] = `green' WHERE id =
-`jsmith'
-
-will only apply the TTL to the `{ 'color' : 'green' }` record, the rest
-of the map remaining unaffected.
-
-Deleting a map record is done with:
-
-bc(sample). +
-DELETE favs[`author'] FROM users WHERE id = `jsmith'
-
-[[set]]
-===== Sets
-
-A `set` is a link:#types[typed] collection of unique values. Sets are
-ordered by their values. To create a column of type `set`, use the `set`
-keyword suffixed with the value type enclosed in angle brackets. For
-example:
-
-bc(sample). +
-CREATE TABLE images ( +
-name text PRIMARY KEY, +
-owner text, +
-date timestamp, +
-tags set +
-);
-
-Writing a `set` is accomplished by comma separating the set values, and
-enclosing them in curly braces. _Note: An `INSERT` will always replace
-the entire set._
-
-bc(sample). +
-INSERT INTO images (name, owner, date, tags) +
-VALUES (`cat.jpg', `jsmith', `now', \{ `kitten', `cat', `pet' });
-
-Adding and removing values of a set can be accomplished with an `UPDATE`
-by adding/removing new set values to an existing `set` column.
-
-bc(sample). +
-UPDATE images SET tags = tags + \{ `cute', `cuddly' } WHERE name =
-`cat.jpg'; +
-UPDATE images SET tags = tags - \{ `lame' } WHERE name = `cat.jpg';
-
-As with link:#map[maps], TTLs if used only apply to the newly
-inserted/updated _values_.
-
-[[list]]
-===== Lists
-
-A `list` is a link:#types[typed] collection of non-unique values where
-elements are ordered by there position in the list. To create a column
-of type `list`, use the `list` keyword suffixed with the value type
-enclosed in angle brackets. For example:
-
-bc(sample). +
-CREATE TABLE plays ( +
-id text PRIMARY KEY, +
-game text, +
-players int, +
-scores list +
-)
-
-Do note that as explained below, lists have some limitations and
-performance considerations to take into account, and it is advised to
-prefer link:#set[sets] over lists when this is possible.
-
-Writing `list` data is accomplished with a JSON-style syntax. To write a
-record using `INSERT`, specify the entire list as a JSON array. _Note:
-An `INSERT` will always replace the entire list._
-
-bc(sample). +
-INSERT INTO plays (id, game, players, scores) +
-VALUES (`123-afde', `quake', 3, [17, 4, 2]);
-
-Adding (appending or prepending) values to a list can be accomplished by
-adding a new JSON-style array to an existing `list` column.
-
-bc(sample). +
-UPDATE plays SET players = 5, scores = scores + [ 14, 21 ] WHERE id =
-`123-afde'; +
-UPDATE plays SET players = 5, scores = [ 12 ] + scores WHERE id =
-`123-afde';
-
-It should be noted that append and prepend are not idempotent
-operations. This means that if during an append or a prepend the
-operation timeout, it is not always safe to retry the operation (as this
-could result in the record appended or prepended twice).
-
-Lists also provides the following operation: setting an element by its
-position in the list, removing an element by its position in the list
-and remove all the occurrence of a given value in the list. _However,
-and contrarily to all the other collection operations, these three
-operations induce an internal read before the update, and will thus
-typically have slower performance characteristics_. Those operations
-have the following syntax:
-
-bc(sample). +
-UPDATE plays SET scores[1] = 7 WHERE id = `123-afde'; // sets the 2nd
-element of scores to 7 (raises an error is scores has less than 2
-elements) +
-DELETE scores[1] FROM plays WHERE id = `123-afde'; // deletes the 2nd
-element of scores (raises an error is scores has less than 2 elements) +
-UPDATE plays SET scores = scores - [ 12, 21 ] WHERE id = `123-afde'; //
-removes all occurrences of 12 and 21 from scores
-
-As with link:#map[maps], TTLs if used only apply to the newly
-inserted/updated _values_.
-
-=== Functions
-
-CQL3 distinguishes between built-in functions (so called `native
-functions') and link:#udfs[user-defined functions]. CQL3 includes
-several native functions, described below:
-
-[[castFun]]
-==== Cast
-
-The `cast` function can be used to converts one native datatype to
-another.
-
-The following table describes the conversions supported by the `cast`
-function. Cassandra will silently ignore any cast converting a datatype
-into its own datatype.
-
-[cols=",",options="header",]

-
-|`uuid` |`text`, `varchar`
-
-|`varint` |`tinyint`, `smallint`, `int`, `bigint`, `float`, `double`,
-`decimal`, `text`, `varchar`
-|===
-
-The conversions rely strictly on Java’s semantics. For example, the
-double value 1 will be converted to the text value `1.0'.
-
-bc(sample). +
-SELECT avg(cast(count as double)) FROM myTable
-
-[[tokenFun]]
-==== Token
-
-The `token` function allows to compute the token for a given partition
-key. The exact signature of the token function depends on the table
-concerned and of the partitioner used by the cluster.
-
-The type of the arguments of the `token` depend on the type of the
-partition key columns. The return type depend on the partitioner in use:
-
-* For Murmur3Partitioner, the return type is `bigint`.
-* For RandomPartitioner, the return type is `varint`.
-* For ByteOrderedPartitioner, the return type is `blob`.
-
-For instance, in a cluster using the default Murmur3Partitioner, if a
-table is defined by
-
-bc(sample). +
-CREATE TABLE users ( +
-userid text PRIMARY KEY, +
-username text, +
-… +
-)
-
-then the `token` function will take a single argument of type `text` (in
-that case, the partition key is `userid` (there is no clustering columns
-so the partition key is the same than the primary key)), and the return
-type will be `bigint`.
-
-[[uuidFun]]
-==== Uuid
-
-The `uuid` function takes no parameters and generates a random type 4
-uuid suitable for use in INSERT or SET statements.
-
-[[timeuuidFun]]
-==== Timeuuid functions
-
-===== `now`
-
-The `now` function takes no arguments and generates, on the coordinator
-node, a new unique timeuuid (at the time where the statement using it is
-executed). Note that this method is useful for insertion but is largely
-non-sensical in `WHERE` clauses. For instance, a query of the form
-
-bc(sample). +
-SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE t = now()
-
-will never return any result by design, since the value returned by
-`now()` is guaranteed to be unique.
-
-===== `minTimeuuid` and `maxTimeuuid`
-
-The `minTimeuuid` (resp. `maxTimeuuid`) function takes a `timestamp`
-value `t` (which can be link:#usingtimestamps[either a timestamp or a
-date string] ) and return a _fake_ `timeuuid` corresponding to the
-_smallest_ (resp. _biggest_) possible `timeuuid` having for timestamp
-`t`. So for instance:
-
-bc(sample). +
-SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE t > maxTimeuuid(`2013-01-01 00:05+0000') AND
-t < minTimeuuid(`2013-02-02 10:00+0000')
-
-will select all rows where the `timeuuid` column `t` is strictly older
-than `2013-01-01 00:05+0000' but strictly younger than `2013-02-02
-10:00+0000'. Please note that
-`t >= maxTimeuuid('2013-01-01 00:05+0000')` would still _not_ select a
-`timeuuid` generated exactly at `2013-01-01 00:05+0000' and is
-essentially equivalent to `t > maxTimeuuid('2013-01-01 00:05+0000')`.
-
-_Warning_: We called the values generated by `minTimeuuid` and
-`maxTimeuuid` _fake_ UUID because they do no respect the Time-Based UUID
-generation process specified by the
-http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4122.txt[RFC 4122]. In particular, the value
-returned by these 2 methods will not be unique. This means you should
-only use those methods for querying (as in the example above). Inserting
-the result of those methods is almost certainly _a bad idea_.
-
-[[timeFun]]
-==== Time conversion functions
-
-A number of functions are provided to ``convert'' a `timeuuid`, a
-`timestamp` or a `date` into another `native` type.
-
-[cols=",,",options="header",]
-|===
-|function name |input type |description
-|`toDate` |`timeuuid` |Converts the `timeuuid` argument into a `date`
-type
-
-|`toDate` |`timestamp` |Converts the `timestamp` argument into a `date`
-type
-
-|`toTimestamp` |`timeuuid` |Converts the `timeuuid` argument into a
-`timestamp` type
-
-|`toTimestamp` |`date` |Converts the `date` argument into a `timestamp`
-type
-
-|`toUnixTimestamp` |`timeuuid` |Converts the `timeuuid` argument into a
-`bigInt` raw value
-
-|`toUnixTimestamp` |`timestamp` |Converts the `timestamp` argument into
-a `bigInt` raw value
-
-|`toUnixTimestamp` |`date` |Converts the `date` argument into a `bigInt`
-raw value
-
-|`dateOf` |`timeuuid` |Similar to `toTimestamp(timeuuid)` (DEPRECATED)
-
-|`unixTimestampOf` |`timeuuid` |Similar to `toUnixTimestamp(timeuuid)`
-(DEPRECATED)
-|===
-
-[[blobFun]]
-==== Blob conversion functions
-
-A number of functions are provided to ``convert'' the native types into
-binary data (`blob`). For every `<native-type>` `type` supported by CQL3
-(a notable exceptions is `blob`, for obvious reasons), the function
-`typeAsBlob` takes a argument of type `type` and return it as a `blob`.
-Conversely, the function `blobAsType` takes a 64-bit `blob` argument and
-convert it to a `bigint` value. And so for instance, `bigintAsBlob(3)`
-is `0x0000000000000003` and `blobAsBigint(0x0000000000000003)` is `3`.
-
-=== Aggregates
-
-Aggregate functions work on a set of rows. They receive values for each
-row and returns one value for the whole set. +
-If `normal` columns, `scalar functions`, `UDT` fields, `writetime` or
-`ttl` are selected together with aggregate functions, the values
-returned for them will be the ones of the first row matching the query.
-
-CQL3 distinguishes between built-in aggregates (so called `native
-aggregates') and link:#udas[user-defined aggregates]. CQL3 includes
-several native aggregates, described below:
-
-[[countFct]]
-==== Count
-
-The `count` function can be used to count the rows returned by a query.
-Example:
-
-bc(sample). +
-SELECT COUNT (*) FROM plays; +
-SELECT COUNT (1) FROM plays;
-
-It also can be used to count the non null value of a given column.
-Example:
-
-bc(sample). +
-SELECT COUNT (scores) FROM plays;
-
-[[maxMinFcts]]
-==== Max and Min
-
-The `max` and `min` functions can be used to compute the maximum and the
-minimum value returned by a query for a given column.
-
-bc(sample). +
-SELECT MIN (players), MAX (players) FROM plays WHERE game = `quake';
-
-[[sumFct]]
-==== Sum
-
-The `sum` function can be used to sum up all the values returned by a
-query for a given column.
-
-bc(sample). +
-SELECT SUM (players) FROM plays;
-
-[[avgFct]]
-==== Avg
-
-The `avg` function can be used to compute the average of all the values
-returned by a query for a given column.
-
-bc(sample). +
-SELECT AVG (players) FROM plays;
-
-[[udfs]]
-=== User-Defined Functions
-
-User-defined functions allow execution of user-provided code in
-Cassandra. By default, Cassandra supports defining functions in _Java_
-and _JavaScript_. Support for other JSR 223 compliant scripting
-languages (such as Python, Ruby, and Scala) has been removed in 3.0.11.
-
-UDFs are part of the Cassandra schema. As such, they are automatically
-propagated to all nodes in the cluster.
-
-UDFs can be _overloaded_ - i.e. multiple UDFs with different argument
-types but the same function name. Example:
-
-bc(sample). +
-CREATE FUNCTION sample ( arg int ) …; +
-CREATE FUNCTION sample ( arg text ) …;
-
-User-defined functions are susceptible to all of the normal problems
-with the chosen programming language. Accordingly, implementations
-should be safe against null pointer exceptions, illegal arguments, or
-any other potential source of exceptions. An exception during function
-execution will result in the entire statement failing.
-
-It is valid to use _complex_ types like collections, tuple types and
-user-defined types as argument and return types. Tuple types and
-user-defined types are handled by the conversion functions of the
-DataStax Java Driver. Please see the documentation of the Java Driver
-for details on handling tuple types and user-defined types.
-
-Arguments for functions can be literals or terms. Prepared statement
-placeholders can be used, too.
-
-Note that you can use the double-quoted string syntax to enclose the UDF
-source code. For example:
-
-bc(sample).. +
-CREATE FUNCTION some_function ( arg int ) +
-RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT +
-RETURNS int +
-LANGUAGE java +
-AS $$ return arg; $$;
-
-SELECT some_function(column) FROM atable …; +
-UPDATE atable SET col = some_function(?) …; +
-p.
-
-bc(sample). +
-CREATE TYPE custom_type (txt text, i int); +
-CREATE FUNCTION fct_using_udt ( udtarg frozen ) +
-RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT +
-RETURNS text +
-LANGUAGE java +
-AS $$ return udtarg.getString(``txt''); $$;
-
-User-defined functions can be used in link:#selectStmt[`SELECT`],
-link:#insertStmt[`INSERT`] and link:#updateStmt[`UPDATE`] statements.
-
-The implicitly available `udfContext` field (or binding for script UDFs)
-provides the neccessary functionality to create new UDT and tuple
-values.
-
-bc(sample). +
-CREATE TYPE custom_type (txt text, i int); +
-CREATE FUNCTION fct_using_udt ( somearg int ) +
-RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT +
-RETURNS custom_type +
-LANGUAGE java +
-AS $$ +
-UDTValue udt = udfContext.newReturnUDTValue(); +
-udt.setString(``txt'', ``some string''); +
-udt.setInt(``i'', 42); +
-return udt; +
-$$;
-
-The definition of the `UDFContext` interface can be found in the Apache
-Cassandra source code for
-`org.apache.cassandra.cql3.functions.UDFContext`.
-
-bc(sample). +
-public interface UDFContext +
-\{ +
-UDTValue newArgUDTValue(String argName); +
-UDTValue newArgUDTValue(int argNum); +
-UDTValue newReturnUDTValue(); +
-UDTValue newUDTValue(String udtName); +
-TupleValue newArgTupleValue(String argName); +
-TupleValue newArgTupleValue(int argNum); +
-TupleValue newReturnTupleValue(); +
-TupleValue newTupleValue(String cqlDefinition); +
-}
-
-Java UDFs already have some imports for common interfaces and classes
-defined. These imports are: +
-Please note, that these convenience imports are not available for script
-UDFs.
-
-bc(sample). +
-import java.nio.ByteBuffer; +
-import java.util.List; +
-import java.util.Map; +
-import java.util.Set; +

-link:#dropFunctionStmt[`DROP FUNCTION`].
-
-[[udas]]
-=== User-Defined Aggregates
-
-User-defined aggregates allow creation of custom aggregate functions
-using link:#udfs[UDFs]. Common examples of aggregate functions are
-_count_, _min_, and _max_.
-
-Each aggregate requires an _initial state_ (`INITCOND`, which defaults
-to `null`) of type `STYPE`. The first argument of the state function
-must have type `STYPE`. The remaining arguments of the state function
-must match the types of the user-defined aggregate arguments. The state
-function is called once for each row, and the value returned by the
-state function becomes the new state. After all rows are processed, the
-optional `FINALFUNC` is executed with last state value as its argument.
-
-`STYPE` is mandatory in order to be able to distinguish possibly
-overloaded versions of the state and/or final function (since the
-overload can appear after creation of the aggregate).
-
-User-defined aggregates can be used in link:#selectStmt[`SELECT`]
-statement.
-
-A complete working example for user-defined aggregates (assuming that a
-keyspace has been selected using the link:#useStmt[`USE`] statement):
-
-bc(sample).. +
-CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION averageState ( state tuple<int,bigint>, val
-int ) +
-CALLED ON NULL INPUT +
-RETURNS tuple<int,bigint> +
-LANGUAGE java +
-AS ’ +
-if (val != null) \{ +
-state.setInt(0, state.getInt(0)+1); +
-state.setLong(1, state.getLong(1)+val.intValue()); +
-} +
-return state; +
-’;
-
-CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION averageFinal ( state tuple<int,bigint> ) +
-CALLED ON NULL INPUT +
-RETURNS double +
-LANGUAGE java +
-AS ’ +
-double r = 0; +
-if (state.getInt(0) == 0) return null; +
-r = state.getLong(1); +
-r /= state.getInt(0); +
-return Double.valueOf®; +
-’;
-
-CREATE OR REPLACE AGGREGATE average ( int ) +
-SFUNC averageState +
-STYPE tuple<int,bigint> +
-FINALFUNC averageFinal +
-INITCOND (0, 0);
-
-CREATE TABLE atable ( +
-pk int PRIMARY KEY, +
-val int); +
-INSERT INTO atable (pk, val) VALUES (1,1); +
-INSERT INTO atable (pk, val) VALUES (2,2); +
-INSERT INTO atable (pk, val) VALUES (3,3); +
-INSERT INTO atable (pk, val) VALUES (4,4); +
-SELECT average(val) FROM atable; +
-p.
-
-See link:#createAggregateStmt[`CREATE AGGREGATE`] and
-link:#dropAggregateStmt[`DROP AGGREGATE`].
-
-[[json]]
-=== JSON Support
-
-Cassandra 2.2 introduces JSON support to link:#selectStmt[`SELECT`] and
-link:#insertStmt[`INSERT`] statements. This support does not
-fundamentally alter the CQL API (for example, the schema is still
-enforced), it simply provides a convenient way to work with JSON
-documents.
-
-[[selectJson]]
-==== SELECT JSON
-
-With `SELECT` statements, the new `JSON` keyword can be used to return
-each row as a single `JSON` encoded map. The remainder of the `SELECT`
-statment behavior is the same.
-
-The result map keys are the same as the column names in a normal result
-set. For example, a statement like ```SELECT JSON a, ttl(b) FROM ...`''
-would result in a map with keys `"a"` and `"ttl(b)"`. However, this is
-one notable exception: for symmetry with `INSERT JSON` behavior,
-case-sensitive column names with upper-case letters will be surrounded
-with double quotes. For example, ```SELECT JSON myColumn FROM ...`''
-would result in a map key `"\"myColumn\""` (note the escaped quotes).
-
-The map values will `JSON`-encoded representations (as described below)
-of the result set values.
-
-[[insertJson]]
-==== INSERT JSON
-
-With `INSERT` statements, the new `JSON` keyword can be used to enable
-inserting a `JSON` encoded map as a single row. The format of the `JSON`
-map should generally match that returned by a `SELECT JSON` statement on
-the same table. In particular, case-sensitive column names should be
-surrounded with double quotes. For example, to insert into a table with
-two columns named ``myKey'' and ``value'', you would do the following:
-
-bc(sample). +
-INSERT INTO mytable JSON `\{``\''myKey\``'': 0, ``value'': 0}'
-
-Any columns which are ommitted from the `JSON` map will be defaulted to
-a `NULL` value (which will result in a tombstone being created).
-
-[[jsonEncoding]]
-==== JSON Encoding of Cassandra Data Types
-
-Where possible, Cassandra will represent and accept data types in their
-native `JSON` representation. Cassandra will also accept string
-representations matching the CQL literal format for all single-field
-types. For example, floats, ints, UUIDs, and dates can be represented by
-CQL literal strings. However, compound types, such as collections,
-tuples, and user-defined types must be represented by native `JSON`
-collections (maps and lists) or a JSON-encoded string representation of
-the collection.
-
-The following table describes the encodings that Cassandra will accept
-in `INSERT JSON` values (and `fromJson()` arguments) as well as the
-format Cassandra will use when returning data for `SELECT JSON`
-statements (and `fromJson()`):
-
-[cols=",,,",options="header",]

-[[fromJson]]
-==== The fromJson() Function
-
-The `fromJson()` function may be used similarly to `INSERT JSON`, but
-for a single column value. It may only be used in the `VALUES` clause of
-an `INSERT` statement or as one of the column values in an `UPDATE`,
-`DELETE`, or `SELECT` statement. For example, it cannot be used in the
-selection clause of a `SELECT` statement.
-
-[[toJson]]
-==== The toJson() Function
-
-The `toJson()` function may be used similarly to `SELECT JSON`, but for
-a single column value. It may only be used in the selection clause of a
-`SELECT` statement.
-
-[[appendixA]]
-=== 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
-identifer 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.
-

-|Keyword |Reserved?
-|`ADD` |yes
-|`AGGREGATE` |no

-(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7396)[CASSANDRA-7396].
-
-==== 3.4.2
-
-* link:#updateOptions[`INSERT/UPDATE options`] for tables having a
-default_time_to_live specifying a TTL of 0 will remove the TTL from the

-https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10818)[CASSANDRA-10818].
-* ``User-defined types''#createTypeStmt may now be stored in a
-non-frozen form, allowing individual fields to be updated and deleted in
-link:#updateStmt[`UPDATE` statements] and link:#deleteStmt[`DELETE`
-statements], respectively.
-(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7423)[CASSANDRA-7423]
-

-
-==== 3.3.0
-
-* Adds new link:#aggregates[aggregates]
-* User-defined functions are now supported through
-link:#createFunctionStmt[`CREATE FUNCTION`] and
-link:#dropFunctionStmt[`DROP FUNCTION`].
-* User-defined aggregates are now supported through
-link:#createAggregateStmt[`CREATE AGGREGATE`] and
-link:#dropAggregateStmt[`DROP AGGREGATE`].
-* Allows double-dollar enclosed strings literals as an alternative to
-single-quote enclosed strings.
-* Introduces Roles to supercede user based authentication and access
-control
-* link:#usingdates[`Date`] and link:usingtime[`Time`] data types have
-been added
-* link:#json[`JSON`] support has been added
-* `Tinyint` and `Smallint` data types have been added
-* Adds new time conversion functions and deprecate `dateOf` and
-`unixTimestampOf`. See link:#timeFun[`Time conversion functions`]
-
-==== 3.2.0
-
-* User-defined types are now supported through
-link:#createTypeStmt[`CREATE TYPE`], link:#alterTypeStmt[`ALTER TYPE`],
-and link:#dropTypeStmt[`DROP TYPE`]
-* link:#createIndexStmt[`CREATE INDEX`] now supports indexing collection
-columns, including indexing the keys of map collections through the
-`keys()` function
-* Indexes on collections may be queried using the new `CONTAINS` and
-`CONTAINS KEY` operators
-* Tuple types were added to hold fixed-length sets of typed positional
-fields (see the section on link:#types[types] )
-* link:#dropIndexStmt[`DROP INDEX`] now supports optionally specifying a
-keyspace
-
-==== 3.1.7
-
-* `SELECT` statements now support selecting multiple rows in a single
-partition using an `IN` clause on combinations of clustering columns.
-See link:#selectWhere[SELECT WHERE] clauses.
-* `IF NOT EXISTS` and `IF EXISTS` syntax is now supported by
-`CREATE USER` and `DROP USER` statmenets, respectively.
-
-==== 3.1.6
-
-* A new link:#uuidFun[`uuid` method] has been added.
-* Support for `DELETE ... IF EXISTS` syntax.
-
-==== 3.1.5
-
-* It is now possible to group clustering columns in a relatiion, see
-link:#selectWhere[SELECT WHERE] clauses.
-* Added support for `STATIC` columns, see link:#createTableStatic[static
-in CREATE TABLE].
-
-==== 3.1.4
-
-* `CREATE INDEX` now allows specifying options when creating CUSTOM
-indexes (see link:#createIndexStmt[CREATE INDEX reference] ).
-
-==== 3.1.3
-
-* Millisecond precision formats have been added to the timestamp parser
-(see link:#usingtimestamps[working with dates] ).
-
-==== 3.1.2
-
-* `NaN` and `Infinity` has been added as valid float contants. They are
-now reserved keywords. In the unlikely case you we using them as a
-column identifier (or keyspace/table one), you will noew need to double
-quote them (see link:#identifiers[quote identifiers] ).
-
-==== 3.1.1
-
-* `SELECT` statement now allows listing the partition keys (using the
-`DISTINCT` modifier). See
-https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4536[CASSANDRA-4536].
-* The syntax `c IN ?` is now supported in `WHERE` clauses. In that case,
-the value expected for the bind variable will be a list of whatever type
-`c` is.
-* It is now possible to use named bind variables (using `:name` instead
-of `?`).
-
-==== 3.1.0
-
-* link:#alterTableStmt[ALTER TABLE] `DROP` option has been reenabled for
-CQL3 tables and has new semantics now: the space formerly used by
-dropped columns will now be eventually reclaimed (post-compaction). You
-should not readd previously dropped columns unless you use timestamps
-with microsecond precision (see
-https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3919[CASSANDRA-3919] for
-more details).
-* `SELECT` statement now supports aliases in select clause. Aliases in
-WHERE and ORDER BY clauses are not supported. See the
-link:#selectStmt[section on select] for details.
-* `CREATE` statements for `KEYSPACE`, `TABLE` and `INDEX` now supports
-an `IF NOT EXISTS` condition. Similarly, `DROP` statements support a
-`IF EXISTS` condition.
-* `INSERT` statements optionally supports a `IF NOT EXISTS` condition
-and `UPDATE` supports `IF` conditions.
-
-==== 3.0.5
-
-* `SELECT`, `UPDATE`, and `DELETE` statements now allow empty `IN`
-relations (see
-https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5626)[CASSANDRA-5626].
-
-==== 3.0.4
-
-* Updated the syntax for custom link:#createIndexStmt[secondary
-indexes].
-* Non-equal condition on the partition key are now never supported, even
-for ordering partitioner as this was not correct (the order was *not*
-the one of the type of the partition key). Instead, the `token` method
-should always be used for range queries on the partition key (see
-link:#selectWhere[WHERE clauses] ).
-
-==== 3.0.3
-
-* Support for custom link:#createIndexStmt[secondary indexes] has been
-added.
-
-==== 3.0.2
-
-* Type validation for the link:#constants[constants] has been fixed. For
-instance, the implementation used to allow `'2'` as a valid value for an
-`int` column (interpreting it has the equivalent of `2`), or `42` as a
-valid `blob` value (in which case `42` was interpreted as an hexadecimal
-representation of the blob). This is no longer the case, type validation
-of constants is now more strict. See the link:#types[data types] section
-for details on which constant is allowed for which type.
-* The type validation fixed of the previous point has lead to the
-introduction of link:#constants[blobs constants] to allow inputing
-blobs. Do note that while inputing blobs as strings constant is still
-supported by this version (to allow smoother transition to blob
-constant), it is now deprecated (in particular the link:#types[data
-types] section does not list strings constants as valid blobs) and will
-be removed by a future version. If you were using strings as blobs, you
-should thus update your client code ASAP to switch blob constants.
-* A number of functions to convert native types to blobs have also been
-introduced. Furthermore the token function is now also allowed in select
-clauses. See the link:#functions[section on functions] for details.
-
-==== 3.0.1
-
-* link:#usingtimestamps[Date strings] (and timestamps) are no longer
-accepted as valid `timeuuid` values. Doing so was a bug in the sense
-that date string are not valid `timeuuid`, and it was thus resulting in
-https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4936[confusing
-behaviors]. However, the following new methods have been added to help
-working with `timeuuid`: `now`, `minTimeuuid`, `maxTimeuuid` , `dateOf`
-and `unixTimestampOf`. See the link:#timeuuidFun[section dedicated to
-these methods] for more detail.
-* ``Float constants''#constants now support the exponent notation. In
-other words, `4.2E10` is now a valid floating point value.
-
-=== Versioning
-
-Versioning of the CQL language adheres to the http://semver.org[Semantic
-Versioning] guidelines. Versions take the form X.Y.Z where X, Y, and Z
-are integer values representing major, minor, and patch level
-respectively. There is no correlation between Cassandra release versions
-and the CQL language version.
-
-[cols=",",options="header",]
-|===
-|version |description
-|Major |The major version _must_ be bumped when backward incompatible
-changes are introduced. This should rarely occur.
-
-|Minor |Minor version increments occur when new, but backward
-compatible, functionality is introduced.
-
-|Patch |The patch version is incremented when bugs are fixed.

-= Data Definition
-:tabs:
-
-CQL stores data in _tables_, whose schema defines the layout of the
-data in the table. Tables are located in _keyspaces_. 
-A keyspace defines options that apply to all the keyspace's tables. 
-The xref:cql/ddl.adoc#replication-strategy[replication strategy] is an important keyspace option, as is the replication factor. 
-A good general rule is one keyspace per application.
-It is common for a cluster to define only one keyspace for an actie application.
-
-This section describes the statements used to create, modify, and remove
-those keyspace and tables.
-
-== Common definitions
-
-The names of the keyspaces and tables are defined by the following
-grammar:
-
-[source,bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/ks_table.bnf[]
-----
-
-Both keyspace and table name should be comprised of only alphanumeric
-characters, cannot be empty and are limited in size to 48 characters
-(that limit exists mostly to avoid filenames (which may include the
-keyspace and table name) to go over the limits of certain file systems).
-By default, keyspace and table names are case-insensitive (`myTable` is
-equivalent to `mytable`) but case sensitivity can be forced by using
-double-quotes (`"myTable"` is different from `mytable`).
-
-Further, a table is always part of a keyspace and a table name can be
-provided fully-qualified by the keyspace it is part of. If is is not
-fully-qualified, the table is assumed to be in the _current_ keyspace
-(see xref:cql/ddl.adoc#use-statement[USE] statement.
-
-Further, the valid names for columns are defined as:
-
-[source,bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/column.bnf[]
-----
-
-We also define the notion of statement options for use in the following
-section:
-
-[source,bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/options.bnf[]
-----
-
-[[create-keyspace-statement]]
-== CREATE KEYSPACE
-
-A keyspace is created with a `CREATE KEYSPACE` statement:
-
-[source,bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/create_ks.bnf[]
-----
-
-For example:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/create_ks.cql[]
-----
-
-Attempting to create a keyspace that already exists will return an error
-unless the `IF NOT EXISTS` option is used. If it is used, the statement
-will be a no-op if the keyspace already exists.
-
-The supported `options` are:
-
-[cols=",,,,",options="header",]
-|===
-|name | kind | mandatory | default | description
-|`replication` | _map_ | yes | n/a | The replication strategy and options to use for the keyspace (see
-details below).
-|`durable_writes` | _simple_ | no | true | Whether to use the commit log for updates on this keyspace (disable this
-option at your own risk!).
-|===
-
-The `replication` property is mandatory and must contain the `'class'` sub-option that defines the desired
-xref:cql/ddl.adoc#replication-strategy[replication strategy] class. 
-The rest of the sub-options depend on which replication strategy is used. 
-By default, Cassandra supports the following `'class'` values:
-
-[[replication-strategy]]
-=== `SimpleStrategy`
-
-A simple strategy that defines a replication factor for data to be
-spread across the entire cluster. This is generally not a wise choice
-for production, as it does not respect datacenter layouts and can
-lead to wildly varying query latency. For production, use
-`NetworkTopologyStrategy`. `SimpleStrategy` supports a single
-mandatory argument:
-
-[cols=",,,",options="header",]
-|===
-|sub-option |type |since |description
-|`'replication_factor'` | int | all | The number of replicas to store per range
-|===
-
-=== `NetworkTopologyStrategy`
-
-A production-ready replication strategy that sets the
-replication factor independently for each data-center. The rest of the
-sub-options are key-value pairs, with a key set to a data-center name and
-its value set to the associated replication factor. Options:
-
-[cols=",,,",options="header",]
-|===
-|sub-option |type |description
-|`'<datacenter>'` | int | The number of replicas to store per range in the provided datacenter.
-|`'replication_factor'` | int | The number of replicas to use as a default per datacenter if not
-specifically provided. Note that this always defers to existing
-definitions or explicit datacenter settings. For example, to have three
-replicas per datacenter, set a value of 3.
-|===
-
-When later altering keyspaces and changing the `replication_factor`,
-auto-expansion will only _add_ new datacenters for safety, it will not
-alter existing datacenters or remove any, even if they are no longer in
-the cluster. If you want to remove datacenters while setting the 
-`replication_factor`, explicitly zero out the datacenter you want to
-have zero replicas.
-
-An example of auto-expanding datacenters with two datacenters: `DC1` and
-`DC2`:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/autoexpand_ks.cql[]
-----
-will result in:
-[source,plaintext]
-----
-include::example$RESULTS/autoexpand_ks.result[]
-----
-
-An example of auto-expanding and overriding a datacenter:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/autoexpand_ks_override.cql[]
-----
-will result in:
-[source,plaintext]
-----
-include::example$RESULTS/autoexpand_ks_override.result[]
-----
-
-An example that excludes a datacenter while using `replication_factor`:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/autoexpand_exclude_dc.cql[]
-----
-will result in:
-[source,plaintext]
-----
-include::example$RESULTS/autoexpand_exclude_dc.result[]
-----
-
-If xref:new/transientreplication.adoc[transient replication] has been enabled, transient replicas can be
-configured for both `SimpleStrategy` and `NetworkTopologyStrategy` by
-defining replication factors in the format
-`'<total_replicas>/<transient_replicas>'`
-
-For instance, this keyspace will have 3 replicas in DC1, 1 of which is
-transient, and 5 replicas in DC2, 2 of which are transient:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/create_ks_trans_repl.cql[]
-----
-
-[[use-statement]]
-== USE
-
-The `USE` statement changes the _current_ keyspace to the specified keyspace. 
-A number of objects in CQL are bound to a keyspace (tables, user-defined types, functions, etc.) and the
-current keyspace is the default keyspace used when those objects are
-referred to in a query without a fully-qualified name (without a prefixed keyspace name). 
-A `USE` statement specifies the keyspace to use as an argument:
-
-[source,bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/use_ks.bnf[]
-----
-Using CQL:
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/use_ks.cql[]
-----
-
-[[alter-keyspace-statement]]
-== ALTER KEYSPACE
-
-An `ALTER KEYSPACE` statement modifies the options of a keyspace:
-
-[source,bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/alter_ks.bnf[]
-----
-
-For example:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/alter_ks.cql[]
-----
-If the keyspace does not exist, the statement will return an error, unless `IF EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
-The supported options are the same as for xref:cql/ddl.adoc#create-keyspace-statement[creating a keyspace].
-
-[[drop-keyspace-statement]]
-== DROP KEYSPACE
-
-Dropping a keyspace is done with the `DROP KEYSPACE` statement:
-
-[source,bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/drop_ks.bnf[]
-----
-
-For example:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/drop_ks.cql[]
-----
-
-Dropping a keyspace results in the immediate, irreversible removal of
-that keyspace, including all the tables, user-defined types, user-defined functions, and
-all the data contained in those tables.
-
-If the keyspace does not exists, the statement will return an error,
-unless `IF EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
-
-[[create-table-statement]]
-== CREATE TABLE
-
-Creating a new table uses the `CREATE TABLE` statement:
-
-[source,bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/create_table.bnf[]
-----
-
-For example, here are some CQL statements to create tables:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/create_table.cql[]
-----
-
-A CQL table has a name and is composed of a set of _rows_. 
-Creating a table amounts to defining which xref:cql/ddl.adoc#column-definition[columns] each rows will have, 
-which of those columns comprise the xref:cql/ddl.adoc#primary-key[primary key], as well as defined
-xref:cql/ddl.adoc#create-table-options[options] for the table.
-
-Attempting to create an already existing table will return an error
-unless the `IF NOT EXISTS` directive is used. If it is used, the
-statement will be a no-op if the table already exists.
-
-[[column-definition]]
-=== Column definitions
-
-Every row in a CQL table will have the predefined columns defined at table creation. 
-Columns can be added later using an xref:cql/ddl.adoc#alter-table-statement[alter statement].
-
-A `column_definition` is comprised of the name of the column and its xref:cql/ddl.adoc#data-type[type], 
-restricting the  values that are accepted for that column. Additionally, a column definition can have the
-following modifiers:
-
-* `STATIC`: declares the column as a xref:cql/ddl.adoc#static-column[static column]
-* `PRIMARY KEY`: declares the column as the sole component of the xref:cql/ddl.adoc#primary-key[primary key] of the table
-
-[[static-column]]
-==== Static columns
-
-Some columns can be declared as `STATIC` in a table definition. A column
-that is static will be “shared” by all the rows belonging to the same
-partition (having the same xref:cql/ddl.adoc#partition-key[partition key]. 
-
-For example:
-
-[{tabs}] 
-==== 
-Code:: 
-+ 
--- 
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/create_static_column.cql[]
-include::example$CQL/insert_static_data.cql[]
-include::example$CQL/select_static_data.cql[]
-----
---
-
-Results::
-+
---
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$RESULTS/select_static_data.result[]
-----
---
-====
-
-As can be seen, the `s` value is the same (`static1`) for both of the
-rows in the partition (the partition key being `pk`, and both
-rows are in the same partition): the second insertion overrides the
-value for `s`.
-
-The use of static columns has the following restrictions:
-
-* A table without clustering columns cannot have static columns. 
-In a table without clustering columns, every partition has only one row, and
-so every column is inherently static)
-* Only non-primary key columns can be static.
-
-[[primary-key]]
-=== The Primary key
-
-Within a table, a row is uniquely identified by its `PRIMARY KEY`, and
-hence all tables *must* define a single PRIMARY KEY. 
-A `PRIMARY KEY` is composed of one or more of the defined columns in the table. 
-Syntactically, the primary key is defined with the phrase `PRIMARY KEY` 
-followed by a comma-separated list of the column names within parenthesis.
-If the primary key has only one column, you can alternatively add the `PRIMARY KEY` phrase to
-that column in the table definition. 
-The order of the columns in the primary key definition defines the partition key and 
-clustering columns.
-
-A CQL primary key is composed of two parts:
-
-xref:cql/ddl.adoc#partition-key[partition key]::
-* It is the first component of the primary key definition. 
-It can be a single column or, using an additional set of parenthesis, can be multiple columns. 
-A table must have at least one partition key, the smallest possible table definition is:
-+
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/create_table_single_pk.cql[]
-----
-xref:cql/ddl.adoc#clustering-columns[clustering columns]::
-* The columns are the columns that follow the partition key in the primary key definition.
-The order of those columns define the _clustering order_.
-
-Some examples of primary key definition are:
-
-* `PRIMARY KEY (a)`: `a` is the single partition key and there are no clustering columns
-* `PRIMARY KEY (a, b, c)` : `a` is the single partition key and `b` and `c` are the clustering columns
-* `PRIMARY KEY ((a, b), c)` : `a` and `b` compose the _composite_ partition key and `c` is the clustering column
-
-[IMPORTANT]
-====
-The primary key uniquely identifies a row in the table, as described above. 
-A consequence of this uniqueness is that if another row is inserted using the same primary key, 
-then an `UPSERT` occurs and an existing row with the same primary key is replaced. 
-Columns that are not part of the primary key cannot define uniqueness.
-====
-
-[[partition-key]]
-==== Partition key
-
-Within a table, CQL defines the notion of a _partition_ that defines the location of data within a Cassandra cluster.
-A partition is the set of rows that share the same value for their partition key. 
-
-Note that if the partition key is composed of multiple columns, then rows belong to the same partition 
-when they have the same values for all those partition key columns. 
-A hash is computed from the partition key columns and that hash value defines the partition location.
-So, for instance, given the following table definition and content:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/create_table_compound_pk.cql[]
-include::example$CQL/insert_table_compound_pk.cql[]
-include::example$CQL/select_table_compound_pk.cql[]
-----
-
-will result in
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$RESULTS/select_table_compound_pk.result[]
-----
-<1> Rows 1 and 2 are in the same partition, because both columns `a` and `b` are zero.
-<2> Rows 3 and 4 are in the same partition, but a different one, because column `a` is zero and column `b` is 1 in both rows.
-<3> Row 5 is in a third partition by itself, because both columns `a` and `b` are 1.
-
-Note that a table always has a partition key, and that if the table has
-no `clustering columns`, then every partition of that table has a single row.
-because the partition key, compound or otherwise, identifies a single location.
-
-The most important property of partition is that all the rows belonging
-to the same partition are guaranteed to be stored on the same set of
-replica nodes. 
-In other words, the partition key of a table defines which rows will be localized on the same 
-node in the cluster. 
-The localization of data is important to the efficient retrieval of data, requiring the Cassandra coordinator
-to contact as few nodes as possible.
-However, there is a flip-side to this guarantee, and all rows sharing a partition key will be stored on the same 
-node, creating a hotspot for both reading and writing.
-While selecting a primary key that groups table rows assists batch updates and can ensure that the updates are 
-_atomic_ and done in _isolation_, the partitions must be sized "just right, not too big nor too small".
-
-Data modeling that considers the querying patterns and assigns primary keys based on the queries will have the lowest 
-latency in fetching data.
-
-[[clustering-columns]]
-==== Clustering columns
-
-The clustering columns of a table define the clustering order for the partition of that table. 
-For a given `partition`, all rows are ordered by that clustering order. Clustering columns also add uniqueness to
-a row in a table.
-
-For instance, given:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/create_table_clustercolumn.cql[]
-include::example$CQL/insert_table_clustercolumn.cql[]
-include::example$CQL/select_table_clustercolumn.cql[]
-----
-
-will result in
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$RESULTS/select_table_clustercolumn.result[]
-----
-<1> Row 1 is in one partition, and Rows 2-5 are in a different one. The display order is also different.
-
-Looking more closely at the four rows in the same partition, the `b` clustering column defines the order in which those rows 
-are displayed. 
-Whereas the partition key of the table groups rows on the same node, the clustering columns control 
-how those rows are stored on the node. 
-
-That sorting allows the very efficient retrieval of a range of rows within a partition:
-

-[[create-table-options]]
-=== Table options
-
-A CQL table has a number of options that can be set at creation (and,
-for most of them, altered later). These options are specified after the
-`WITH` keyword.
-
-One important option that cannot be changed after creation, `CLUSTERING ORDER BY`, influences how queries can be done against the table. It is worth discussing in more detail here.
-
-[[clustering-order]]
-==== Clustering order
-
-The clustering order of a table is defined by the clustering columns. 
-By default, the clustering order is ascending for the clustering column's data types. 
-For example, integers order from 1, 2, ... n, while text orders from A to Z. 
-
-The `CLUSTERING ORDER BY` table option uses a comma-separated list of the
-clustering columns, each set for either `ASC` (for _ascending_ order) or `DESC` (for _descending order).
-The default is ascending for all clustering columns if the `CLUSTERING ORDER BY` option is not set. 
-
-This option is basically a hint for the storage engine that changes the order in which it stores the row.
-Beware of the consequences of setting this option:
-
-* It changes the default ascending order of results when queried with a `SELECT` statement with no `ORDER BY` clause.
-
-* It limits how the `ORDER BY` clause is used in `SELECT` statements on that table. 
-Results can only be ordered with either the original clustering order or the reverse clustering order.
-Suppose you create a table with two clustering columns `a` and `b`, defined `WITH CLUSTERING ORDER BY (a DESC, b ASC)`.
-Queries on the table can use `ORDER BY (a DESC, b ASC)` or `ORDER BY (a ASC, b DESC)`. 
-Mixed order, such as `ORDER BY (a ASC, b ASC)` or `ORDER BY (a DESC, b DESC)` will not return expected order.
-
-* It has a performance impact on queries. Queries in reverse clustering order are slower than the default ascending order.
-If you plan to query mostly in descending order, declare the clustering order in the table schema using `WITH CLUSTERING ORDER BY ()`. 
-This optimization is common for time series, to retrieve the data from newest to oldest.
-
-[[create-table-general-options]]
-==== Other table options
-
-A table supports the following options:
-
-[width="100%",cols="30%,9%,11%,50%",options="header",]
-|===
-|option | kind | default | description
-
-| `comment` | _simple_ | none | A free-form, human-readable comment
-| xref:cql/ddl.adoc#spec_retry[`speculative_retry`] | _simple_ | 99PERCENTILE | Speculative retry options
-| `cdc` |_boolean_ |false |Create a Change Data Capture (CDC) log on the table
-| `additional_write_policy` |_simple_ |99PERCENTILE | Same as `speculative_retry`
-| `gc_grace_seconds` |_simple_ |864000 |Time to wait before garbage collecting tombstones (deletion markers)
-| `bloom_filter_fp_chance` |_simple_ |0.00075 |The target probability of
-false positive of the sstable bloom filters. Said bloom filters will be
-sized to provide the provided probability, thus lowering this value
-impact the size of bloom filters in-memory and on-disk.
-| `default_time_to_live` |_simple_ |0 |Default expiration time (“TTL”) in seconds for a table
-| `compaction` |_map_ |_see below_ | xref:operating/compaction/index.adoc#cql-compaction-options[Compaction options]
-| `compression` |_map_ |_see below_ | xref:operating/compression/index.adoc#cql-compression-options[Compression options]
-| `caching` |_map_ |_see below_ |Caching options
-| `memtable_flush_period_in_ms` |_simple_ |0 |Time (in ms) before Cassandra flushes memtables to disk
-| `read_repair` |_simple_ |BLOCKING |Sets read repair behavior (see below)
-|===
-
-[[spec_retry]]
-===== Speculative retry options
-
-By default, Cassandra read coordinators only query as many replicas as
-necessary to satisfy consistency levels: one for consistency level
-`ONE`, a quorum for `QUORUM`, and so on. `speculative_retry` determines
-when coordinators may query additional replicas, a useful action when
-replicas are slow or unresponsive. Speculative retries reduce the latency. 
-The speculative_retry option configures rapid read protection, where a coordinator sends more
-requests than needed to satisfy the consistency level.
-
-[IMPORTANT]
-====
-Frequently reading from additional replicas can hurt cluster
-performance. When in doubt, keep the default `99PERCENTILE`.
-====
-
-Pre-Cassandra 4.0 speculative retry policy takes a single string as a parameter:
-
-* `NONE`
-* `ALWAYS`
-* `99PERCENTILE` (PERCENTILE)
-* `50MS` (CUSTOM)
-
-An example of setting speculative retry sets a custom value:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/alter_table_spec_retry.cql[]
-----
-
-This example uses a percentile for the setting:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/alter_table_spec_retry_percent.cql[]
-----
-
-A percentile setting can backfire. If a single host becomes unavailable, it can
-force up the percentiles. A value of `p99` will not speculate as intended because the 
-value at the specified percentile has increased too much. If the consistency level is set to `ALL`, all 
-replicas are queried regardless of the speculative retry setting. 
-
-Cassandra 4.0 supports case-insensitivity for speculative retry values (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14293[CASSANDRA-14293]). For example, assigning the value as `none`, `None`, or `NONE` has the same effect.
-
-Additionally, the following values are added:
-
-[cols=",,",options="header",]
-|===
-|Format |Example |Description
-| `XPERCENTILE` | 90.5PERCENTILE | Coordinators record average per-table response times
-for all replicas. If a replica takes longer than `X` percent of this
-table's average response time, the coordinator queries an additional
-replica. `X` must be between 0 and 100.
-| `XP` | 90.5P | Same as `XPERCENTILE`
-| `Yms` | 25ms | If a replica takes more than `Y` milliseconds to respond, the
-coordinator queries an additional replica.
-| `MIN(XPERCENTILE,YMS)` | MIN(99PERCENTILE,35MS) | A hybrid policy that uses either the
-specified percentile or fixed milliseconds depending on which value is
-lower at the time of calculation. Parameters are `XPERCENTILE`, `XP`, or
-`Yms`. This setting helps protect against a single slow instance.
-
-| `MAX(XPERCENTILE,YMS)` `ALWAYS` `NEVER` | MAX(90.5P,25ms) | A hybrid policy that uses either the specified
-percentile or fixed milliseconds depending on which value is higher at
-the time of calculation. 
-|===
-
-Cassandra 4.0 adds support for hybrid `MIN()` and `MAX()` speculative retry policies, with a mix and match of either `MIN(), MAX()`, `MIN(), MIN()`, or `MAX(), MAX()` (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14293[CASSANDRA-14293]).
-The hybrid mode will still speculate if the normal `p99` for the table is < 50ms, the minimum value.
-But if the `p99` level goes higher than the maximum value, then that value can be used. 
-In a hybrid value, one value must be a fixed time (ms) value and the other a percentile value.
-
-To illustrate variations, the following examples are all valid:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/spec_retry_values.cql[]
-----
-
-The `additional_write_policy` setting specifies the threshold at which a cheap
-quorum write will be upgraded to include transient replicas.
-
-[[cql-compaction-options]]
-===== Compaction options
-
-The `compaction` options must minimally define the `'class'` sub-option,
-to specify the compaction strategy class to use. 
-The supported classes are: 
-
-* `'SizeTieredCompactionStrategy'`, xref:operating/compaction/stcs.adoc#stcs[STCS] (Default)
-* `'LeveledCompactionStrategy'`, xref:operating/compaction/lcs.adoc#lcs[LCS]
-* `'TimeWindowCompactionStrategy'`, xref:operating/compaction/twcs.adoc#twcs[TWCS] 
-
-The `'DateTieredCompactionStrategy'` is also supported but deprecated;
-`'TimeWindowCompactionStrategy'` should be used. 
-If a custom strategies is required, specify the full class name as a xref:cql/definitions.adoc#constants[string constant].  
-
-All default strategies support a number of xref:operating/compaction/index.adoc#compaction-options[common options], as well as options specific to the strategy chosen. See the section corresponding to your strategy for details: xref:operating/compaction/stcs.adoc#stcs_options[STCS], xref:operating/compaction/lcs.adoc#lcs_options[LCS], xref:operating/compaction/twcs.adoc#twcs_options[TWCS].
-
-[[cql-compression-options]]
-===== Compression options
-
-The `compression` options define if and how the SSTables of the table
-are compressed. Compression is configured on a per-table basis as an
-optional argument to `CREATE TABLE` or `ALTER TABLE`. The following
-sub-options are available:
-
-[cols=",,",options="header",]
-|===
-|Option |Default |Description
-| `class` | LZ4Compressor | The compression algorithm to use. Default compressor are: LZ4Compressor,
-SnappyCompressor, DeflateCompressor and ZstdCompressor. 
-Use `'enabled' : false` to disable compression. 
-Custom compressor can be provided by specifying the full class name as a xref:cql/definitions.adoc#constants[string constant].
-
-| `enabled` | true | Enable/disable sstable compression. 
-If the `enabled` option is set to `false`, no other options must be specified.
-
-| `chunk_length_in_kb` | 64 | On disk SSTables are compressed by block (to allow random reads). 
-This option defines the size (in KB) of said block. See xref:cql/ddl.adoc#chunk_note[note] for further information.
-
-| `crc_check_chance` | 1.0 | Determines how likely Cassandra is to verify the checksum on each
-compression chunk during reads.
-
-| `compression_level` | 3 | Compression level. Only applicable for `ZstdCompressor`.  
-Accepts values between `-131072` and `22`.
-|===
-
-[[chunk_note]]
-[NOTE]
-====
-Bigger values may improve the compression rate, but will increase the minimum size of data to be read from
-disk for a read. 
-The default value is an optimal value for compressing tables. 
-Chunk length must be a power of 2 when computing the chunk number from an uncompressed file offset. 
-Block size may be adjusted based on read/write access patterns such as:
-
-* How much data is typically requested at once
-* Average size of rows in the table
-====
-
-For instance, to create a table with LZ4Compressor and a `chunk_length_in_kb` of 4 KB:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/chunk_length.cql[]
-----
-
-[[cql-caching-options]]
-===== Caching options
-
-Caching optimizes the use of cache memory of a table. The cached data is
-weighed by size and access frequency. 
-The `caching` options can configure both the `key cache` and the `row cache` for the table. 
-The following sub-options are available:
-
-[cols=",,",options="header",]
-|===
-|Option |Default |Description
-| `keys` | ALL | Whether to cache keys (key cache) for this table. Valid values are: `ALL` and `NONE`.
-
-| `rows_per_partition` | NONE | The amount of rows to cache per partition (row cache). 
-If an integer `n` is specified, the first `n` queried rows of a partition will be cached. 
-Valid values are: `ALL`, to cache all rows of a queried partition, or `NONE` to disable row caching.
-|===
-
-For instance, to create a table with both a key cache and 10 rows cached per partition:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/caching_option.cql[]
-----
-
-[[read-repair-options]]
-===== Read Repair options
-
-The `read_repair` options configure the read repair behavior, tuning for various performance and consistency behaviors. 
-
-The values are:
-[cols=",,",options="header",]
-|===
-|Option |Default |Description
-|`BLOCKING` | yes | If a read repair is triggered, the read blocks writes sent to other replicas until the consistency level is reached by the writes.
-
-|`NONE` | no | If set, the coordinator reconciles any differences between replicas, but doesn't attempt to repair them.
-|===
-
-Two consistency properties are affected by read repair behavior.
-
-* Monotonic quorum reads: Monotonic quorum reads
-prevents reads from appearing to go back in time in some circumstances.
-When monotonic quorum reads are not provided and a write fails to reach
-a quorum of replicas, the read values may be visible in one read, and then disappear
-in a subsequent read. `BLOCKING` provides this behavior.
-* Write atomicity: Write atomicity prevents reads
-from returning partially-applied writes. Cassandra attempts to provide
-partition-level write atomicity, but since only the data covered by a
-SELECT statement is repaired by a read repair, read repair can break
-write atomicity when data is read at a more granular level than it is
-written. For example, read repair can break write atomicity if you write
-multiple rows to a clustered partition in a batch, but then select a
-single row by specifying the clustering column in a SELECT statement.
-`NONE` provides this behavior.
-
-===== Other considerations:
-
-* Adding new columns (see `ALTER TABLE` below) is a constant time
-operation. Thus, there is no need to anticipate future usage while initially creating a table.
-
-[[alter-table-statement]]
-== ALTER TABLE
-
-Altering an existing table uses the `ALTER TABLE` statement:
-
-[source,bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/alter_table.bnf[]
-----
-If the table does not exist, the statement will return an error, unless `IF EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
-
-For example:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/alter_table_add_column.cql[]
-include::example$CQL/alter_table_with_comment.cql[]
-----
-
-The `ALTER TABLE` statement can:
-
-* `ADD` a new column to a table. The primary key of a table cannot ever be altered.
-A new column, thus, cannot be part of the primary key. 
-Adding a column is a constant-time operation based on the amount of data in the table.
-If the new column already exists, the statement will return an error, unless `IF NOT EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
-* `DROP` a column from a table. This command drops both the column and all
-its content. Be aware that, while the column becomes immediately
-unavailable, its content are removed lazily during compaction. Because of this lazy removal,
-the command is a constant-time operation based on the amount of data in the table. 
-Also, it is important to know that once a column is dropped, a column with the same name can be re-added,
-unless the dropped column was a non-frozen column like a collection.
-If the dropped column does not already exist, the statement will return an error, unless `IF EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
-
-[WARNING]
-.Warning
-====
-Dropping a column assumes that the timestamps used for the value of this
-column are "real" timestamp in microseconds. Using "real" timestamps in
-microseconds is the default is and is *strongly* recommended but as
-Cassandra allows the client to provide any timestamp on any table, it is
-theoretically possible to use another convention. Please be aware that
-if you do so, dropping a column will not correctly execute.
-====
-
-* `RENAME` a primary key column of a table. Non primary key columns cannot be renamed.
-Furthermore, renaming a column to another name which already exists isn't allowed.
-It's important to keep in mind that renamed columns shouldn't have dependent seconday indexes.
-If the renamed column does not already exist, the statement will return an error, unless `IF EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
-
-* Use `WITH` to change a table option. The xref:CQL/ddl.adoc#create-table-options[supported options]
-are the same as those used when creating a table, with the exception of `CLUSTERING ORDER`.
-However, setting any `compaction` sub-options will erase *ALL* previous `compaction` options, so you need to re-specify
-all the sub-options you wish to keep. The same is true for `compression` sub-options.
-
-[[drop-table-statement]]
-== DROP TABLE
-
-Dropping a table uses the `DROP TABLE` statement:
-
-[source,bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/drop_table.bnf[]
-----
-
-Dropping a table results in the immediate, irreversible removal of the
-table, including all data it contains.
-
-If the table does not exist, the statement will return an error, unless
-`IF EXISTS` is used, when the operation is a no-op.
-
-[[truncate-statement]]
-== TRUNCATE
-
-A table can be truncated using the `TRUNCATE` statement:
-
-[source,bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/truncate_table.bnf[]
-----
-
-`TRUNCATE TABLE foo` is the preferred syntax for consistency with other DDL
-statements. 
-However, tables are the only object that can be truncated currently, and the `TABLE` keyword can be omitted.
-
-Truncating a table permanently removes all existing data from the table, but without removing the table itself.

-= Definitions
-
-== Conventions
-
-To aid in specifying the CQL syntax, we will use the following
-conventions in this document:
-
-* Language rules will be given in an informal
-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backus%E2%80%93Naur_Form#Variants[BNF
-variant] notation. In particular, we'll use square brakets (`[ item ]`)
-for optional items, `*` and `+` for repeated items (where `+` imply at
-least one).
-* The grammar will also use the following convention for convenience:
-non-terminal term will be lowercase (and link to their definition) while
-terminal keywords will be provided "all caps". Note however that
-keywords are `identifiers` and are thus case insensitive in practice. We
-will also define some early construction using regexp, which we'll
-indicate with `re(<some regular expression>)`.
-* The grammar is provided for documentation purposes and leave some
-minor details out. For instance, the comma on the last column definition
-in a `CREATE TABLE` statement is optional but supported if present even
-though the grammar in this document suggests otherwise. Also, not
-everything accepted by the grammar is necessarily valid CQL.
-* References to keywords or pieces of CQL code in running text will be
-shown in a `fixed-width font`.
-
-[[identifiers]]
-== Identifiers and keywords
-
-The CQL language uses _identifiers_ (or _names_) to identify tables,
-columns and other objects. An identifier is a token matching the regular
-expression `[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_]*`.
-
-A number of such identifiers, like `SELECT` or `WITH`, are _keywords_.
-They have a fixed meaning for the language and most are reserved. The
-list of those keywords can be found in xref:cql/appendices.adoc#appendix-A[Appendix A].
-
-Identifiers and (unquoted) keywords are case insensitive. Thus `SELECT`
-is the same than `select` or `sElEcT`, and `myId` is the same than
-`myid` or `MYID`. A convention often used (in particular by the samples
-of this documentation) is to use uppercase for keywords and lowercase
-for other identifiers.
-
-There is a second kind of identifier called a _quoted identifier_
-defined by enclosing an arbitrary sequence of characters (non-empty) in
-double-quotes(`"`). Quoted identifiers are never keywords. Thus
-`"select"` is not a reserved keyword and can be used to refer to a
-column (note that using this is particularly ill-advised), while `select`
-would raise a parsing error. Also, unlike unquoted identifiers
-and keywords, quoted identifiers are case sensitive (`"My Quoted Id"` is
-_different_ from `"my quoted id"`). A fully lowercase quoted identifier
-that matches `[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_]*` is however _equivalent_ to the
-unquoted identifier obtained by removing the double-quote (so `"myid"`
-is equivalent to `myid` and to `myId` but different from `"myId"`).
-Inside a quoted identifier, the double-quote character can be repeated
-to escape it, so `"foo "" bar"` is a valid identifier.
-
-[NOTE]
-.Note
-====
-The _quoted identifier_ can declare columns with arbitrary names, and
-these can sometime clash with specific names used by the server. For
-instance, when using conditional update, the server will respond with a
-result set containing a special result named `"[applied]"`. If you’ve
-declared a column with such a name, this could potentially confuse some
-tools and should be avoided. In general, unquoted identifiers should be
-preferred but if you use quoted identifiers, it is strongly advised that you
-avoid any name enclosed by squared brackets (like `"[applied]"`) and any
-name that looks like a function call (like `"f(x)"`).
-====
-
-More formally, we have:
-
-[source, bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/identifier.bnf[]
-----
-
-[[constants]]
-== Constants
-
-CQL defines the following _constants_:
-
-[source, bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/constant.bnf[]
-----
-
-In other words:
-
-* A string constant is an arbitrary sequence of characters enclosed by
-single-quote(`'`). A single-quote can be included by repeating it, e.g.
-`'It''s raining today'`. Those are not to be confused with quoted
-`identifiers` that use double-quotes. Alternatively, a string can be
-defined by enclosing the arbitrary sequence of characters by two dollar
-characters, in which case single-quote can be used without escaping
-(`$$It's raining today$$`). That latter form is often used when defining
-xref:cql/functions.adoc#udfs[user-defined functions] to avoid having to escape single-quote
-characters in function body (as they are more likely to occur than
-`$$`).
-* Integer, float and boolean constant are defined as expected. Note
-however than float allows the special `NaN` and `Infinity` constants.
-* CQL supports
-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier[UUID]
-constants.
-* Blobs content are provided in hexadecimal and prefixed by `0x`.
-* The special `NULL` constant denotes the absence of value.
-
-For how these constants are typed, see the xref:cql/types.adoc[Data types] section.
-
-== Terms
-
-CQL has the notion of a _term_, which denotes the kind of values that
-CQL support. Terms are defined by:
-
-[source, bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/term.bnf[]
-----
-
-A term is thus one of:
-
-* A xref:cql/defintions.adoc#constants[constant]
-* A literal for either a xref:cql/types.adoc#collections[collection],
-a xref:cql/types.adoc#udts[user-defined type] or a xref:cql/types.adoc#tuples[tuple]
-* A xref:cql/functions.adoc#cql-functions[function] call, either a xref:cql/functions.adoc#scalar-native-functions[native function]
-or a xref:cql/functions.adoc#user-defined-scalar-functions[user-defined function]
-* An xref:cql/operators.adoc#arithmetic_operators[arithmetic operation] between terms
-* A type hint
-* A bind marker, which denotes a variable to be bound at execution time.
-See the section on `prepared-statements` for details. A bind marker can
-be either anonymous (`?`) or named (`:some_name`). The latter form
-provides a more convenient way to refer to the variable for binding it
-and should generally be preferred.
-
-== Comments
-
-A comment in CQL is a line beginning by either double dashes (`--`) or
-double slash (`//`).
-
-Multi-line comments are also supported through enclosure within `/*` and
-`*/` (but nesting is not supported).
-
-[source,cql]
-----
--- This is a comment
-// This is a comment too
-/* This is
-   a multi-line comment */
-----
-
-== Statements
-
-CQL consists of statements that can be divided in the following
-categories:
-
-* `data-definition` statements, to define and change how the data is
-stored (keyspaces and tables).
-* `data-manipulation` statements, for selecting, inserting and deleting
-data.
-* `secondary-indexes` statements.
-* `materialized-views` statements.
-* `cql-roles` statements.
-* `cql-permissions` statements.
-* `User-Defined Functions (UDFs)` statements.
-* `udts` statements.
-* `cql-triggers` statements.
-
-All the statements are listed below and are described in the rest of
-this documentation (see links above):
-
-[source, bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/cql_statement.bnf[]
-----
-
-== Prepared Statements
-
-CQL supports _prepared statements_. Prepared statements are an
-optimization that allows to parse a query only once but execute it
-multiple times with different concrete values.
-
-Any statement that uses at least one bind marker (see `bind_marker`)
-will need to be _prepared_. After which the statement can be _executed_
-by provided concrete values for each of its marker. The exact details of
-how a statement is prepared and then executed depends on the CQL driver
-used and you should refer to your driver documentation.

-= Data Manipulation
-
-This section describes the statements supported by CQL to insert,
-update, delete and query data.
-
-[[select-statement]]
-== SELECT
-
-Querying data from data is done using a `SELECT` statement:
-
-[source,bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/select_statement.bnf[]
-----
-
-For example:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/select_statement.cql[]
-----
-
-The `SELECT` statements reads one or more columns for one or more rows
-in a table. It returns a result-set of the rows matching the request,
-where each row contains the values for the selection corresponding to
-the query. Additionally, xref:cql/functions.adoc#cql-functions[functions] including
-xref:cql/functions.adoc#aggregate-functions[aggregations] can be applied to the result.
-
-A `SELECT` statement contains at least a xref:cql/dml.adoc#selection-clause[selection clause] and the name of the table on which
-the selection is executed. 
-CQL does *not* execute joins or sub-queries and a select statement only apply to a single table. 
-A select statement can also have a xref:cql/dml.adoc#where-clause[where clause] that can further narrow the query results.
-Additional clauses can xref:cql/dml.adoc#ordering-clause[order] or xref:cql/dml.adoc#limit-clause[limit] the results. 
-Lastly, xref:cql/dml.adoc#allow-filtering[queries that require full cluster filtering] can append `ALLOW FILTERING` to any query.
-
-[[selection-clause]]
-=== Selection clause
-
-The `select_clause` determines which columns will be queried and returned in the result set. 
-This clause can also apply transformations to apply to the result before returning. 
-The selection clause consists of a comma-separated list of specific _selectors_ or, alternatively, the wildcard character (`*`) to select all the columns defined in the table.
-
-==== Selectors
-
-A `selector` can be one of:
-
-* A column name of the table selected, to retrieve the values for that
-column.
-* A term, which is usually used nested inside other selectors like
-functions (if a term is selected directly, then the corresponding column
-of the result-set will simply have the value of this term for every row
-returned).
-* A casting, which allows to convert a nested selector to a (compatible)
-type.
-* A function call, where the arguments are selector themselves. See the
-section on xref:cql/functions.adoc#cql-functions[functions] for more details.
-* The special call `COUNT(*)` to the xref:cql/functions.adoc#count-function[COUNT function],
-which counts all non-null results.
-
-==== Aliases
-
-Every _top-level_ selector can also be aliased (using AS).
-If so, the name of the corresponding column in the result set will be
-that of the alias. For instance:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/as.cql[]
-----
-
-[NOTE]
-====
-Currently, aliases aren't recognized in the `WHERE` or `ORDER BY` clauses in the statement.
-You must use the orignal column name instead.
-====
-
-[[writetime-and-ttl-function]]
-==== `WRITETIME` and `TTL` function
-
-Selection supports two special functions that aren't allowed anywhere
-else: `WRITETIME` and `TTL`. 
-Both functions take only one argument, a column name.
-These functions retrieve meta-information that is stored internally for each column:
-
-* `WRITETIME` stores the timestamp of the value of the column
-* `TTL` stores the remaining time to live (in seconds) for the value of the column if it is set to expire; otherwise the value is `null`.
-
-The `WRITETIME` and `TTL` functions can't be used on multi-cell columns such as non-frozen
-collections or non-frozen user-defined types.
-
-[[where-clause]]
-=== The `WHERE` clause
-
-The `WHERE` clause specifies which rows are queried. It specifies
-a relationship for `PRIMARY KEY` columns or a column that has
-a xref:cql/indexes.adoc#create-index-statement[secondary index] defined, along with a set value.
-
-Not all relationships are allowed in a query. For instance, only an equality
-is allowed on a partition key. The `IN` clause is considered an equality for one or more values.
-The `TOKEN` clause can be used to query for partition key non-equalities.
-A partition key must be specified before clustering columns in the `WHERE` clause. The relationship 
-for clustering columns must specify a *contiguous* set of rows to order.
-
-For instance, given:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/table_for_where.cql[]
-----
-
-The following query is allowed:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/where.cql[]
-----
-
-But the following one is not, as it does not select a contiguous set of
-rows (and we suppose no secondary indexes are set):
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/where_fail.cql[]
-----
-
-When specifying relationships, the `TOKEN` function can be applied to the `PARTITION KEY` column to query. 
-Rows will be selected based on the token of the `PARTITION_KEY` rather than on the value.
-[IMPORTANT]
-====
-The token of a key depends on the partitioner in use, and that
-in particular the `RandomPartitioner` won't yield a meaningful order. 
-Also note that ordering partitioners always order token values by bytes (so
-even if the partition key is of type int, `token(-1) > token(0)` in
-particular). 
-====
-
-For example:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/token.cql[]
-----
-
-The `IN` relationship is only allowed on the last column of the
-partition key or on the last column of the full primary key.
-
-It is also possible to “group” `CLUSTERING COLUMNS` together in a
-relation using the tuple notation. 
-
-For example:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/where_group_cluster_columns.cql[]
-----
-
-This query will return all rows that sort after the one having “John's Blog” as
-`blog_tile` and '2012-01-01' for `posted_at` in the clustering order. In
-particular, rows having a `post_at <= '2012-01-01'` will be returned, as
-long as their `blog_title > 'John''s Blog'`. 
-
-That would not be the case for this example:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/where_no_group_cluster_columns.cql[]
-----
-
-The tuple notation may also be used for `IN` clauses on clustering columns:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/where_in_tuple.cql[]
-----
-
-The `CONTAINS` operator may only be used for collection columns (lists,
-sets, and maps). In the case of maps, `CONTAINS` applies to the map
-values. The `CONTAINS KEY` operator may only be used on map columns and
-applies to the map keys.
-
-[[group-by-clause]]
-=== Grouping results
-
-The `GROUP BY` option can condense all selected
-rows that share the same values for a set of columns into a single row.
-
-Using the `GROUP BY` option, rows can be grouped at the partition key or clustering column level. 
-Consequently, the `GROUP BY` option only accepts primary key columns in defined order as arguments.
-If a primary key column is restricted by an equality restriction, it is not included in the `GROUP BY` clause.
-
-Aggregate functions will produce a separate value for each group. 
-If no `GROUP BY` clause is specified, aggregates functions will produce a single value for all the rows.
-
-If a column is selected without an aggregate function, in a statement
-with a `GROUP BY`, the first value encounter in each group will be
-returned.
-
-[[ordering-clause]]
-=== Ordering results
-
-The `ORDER BY` clause selects the order of the returned results. 
-The argument is a list of column names and each column's order 
-(`ASC` for ascendant and `DESC` for descendant,
-The possible orderings are limited by the xref:cql/ddl.adoc#clustering-order[clustering order] defined on the table:
-
-* if the table has been defined without any specific `CLUSTERING ORDER`, then the order is as defined by the clustering columns
-or the reverse
-* otherwise, the order is defined by the `CLUSTERING ORDER` option and the reversed one.
-
-[[limit-clause]]
-=== Limiting results
-
-The `LIMIT` option to a `SELECT` statement limits the number of rows
-returned by a query. The `PER PARTITION LIMIT` option limits the
-number of rows returned for a given partition by the query. Both types of limits can used in the same statement.
-
-[[allow-filtering]]
-=== Allowing filtering
-
-By default, CQL only allows select queries that don't involve a full scan of all partitions. 
-If all partitions are scanned, then returning the results may experience a significant latency proportional to the 
-amount of data in the table. The `ALLOW FILTERING` option explicitly executes a full scan. Thus, the performance of 
-the query can be unpredictable.
-
-For example, consider the following table of user profiles with birth year and country of residence. 
-The birth year has a secondary index defined.
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/allow_filtering.cql[]
-----
-
-The following queries are valid:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/query_allow_filtering.cql[]
-----
-
-In both cases, the query performance is proportional to the amount of data returned. 
-The first query returns all rows, because all users are selected.
-The second query returns only the rows defined by the secondary index, a per-node implementation; the results will
-depend on the number of nodes in the cluster, and is indirectly proportional to the amount of data stored.
-The number of nodes will always be multiple number of magnitude lower than the number of user profiles stored. 
-Both queries may return very large result sets, but the addition of a `LIMIT` clause can reduced the latency.
-
-The following query will be rejected:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/query_fail_allow_filtering.cql[]
-----
-
-Cassandra cannot guarantee that large amounts of data won't have to scanned amount of data, even if the result is small. 
-If you know that the dataset is small, and the performance will be reasonable, add `ALLOW FILTERING` to allow the query to 
-execute:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/query_nofail_allow_filtering.cql[]
-----
-
-[[insert-statement]]
-== INSERT
-
-Inserting data for a row is done using an `INSERT` statement:
-
-[source,bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/insert_statement.bnf[]
-----
-
-For example:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/insert_statement.cql[]
-----
-
-The `INSERT` statement writes one or more columns for a given row in a
-table. 
-Since a row is identified by its `PRIMARY KEY`, at least one columns must be specified. 
-The list of columns to insert must be supplied with the `VALUES` syntax. 
-When using the `JSON` syntax, `VALUES` are optional. 
-See the section on xref:cql/dml.adoc#cql-json[JSON support] for more detail.
-All updates for an `INSERT` are applied atomically and in isolation.
-
-Unlike in SQL, `INSERT` does not check the prior existence of the row by default. 
-The row is created if none existed before, and updated otherwise. 
-Furthermore, there is no means of knowing which action occurred.
-
-The `IF NOT EXISTS` condition can restrict the insertion if the row does not exist. 
-However, note that using `IF NOT EXISTS` will incur a non-negligible performance cost, because Paxos is used,
-so this should be used sparingly.
-
-Please refer to the xref:cql/dml.adoc#update-parameters[UPDATE] section for informations on the `update_parameter`.
-Also note that `INSERT` does not support counters, while `UPDATE` does.
-
-[[update-statement]]
-== UPDATE
-
-Updating a row is done using an `UPDATE` statement:
-
-[source, bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/update_statement.bnf[]
-----
-
-For instance:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/update_statement.cql[]
-----
-
-The `UPDATE` statement writes one or more columns for a given row in a
-table. 
-The `WHERE`clause is used to select the row to update and must include all columns of the `PRIMARY KEY`. 
-Non-primary key columns are set using the `SET` keyword.
-In an `UPDATE` statement, all updates within the same partition key are applied atomically and in isolation.
-
-Unlike in SQL, `UPDATE` does not check the prior existence of the row by default.
-The row is created if none existed before, and updated otherwise.
-Furthermore, there is no means of knowing which action occurred.
-
-The `IF` condition can be used to choose whether the row is updated or not if a particular condition is met.
-However, like the `IF NOT EXISTS` condition, a non-negligible performance cost can be incurred.
-
-Regarding the `SET` assignment:
-
-* `c = c + 3` will increment/decrement counters, the only operation allowed. 
-The column name after the '=' sign *must* be the same than the one before the '=' sign.
-Increment/decrement is only allowed on counters. 
-See the section on xref:cql/dml.adoc#counters[counters] for details.
-* `id = id + <some-collection>` and `id[value1] = value2` are for collections. 
-See the xref:cql/types.adoc#collections[collections] for details.  
-* `id.field = 3` is for setting the value of a field on a non-frozen user-defined types. 
-See the xref:cql/types.adoc#udts[UDTs] for details.
-
-=== Update parameters
-
-`UPDATE` and `INSERT` statements support the following parameters:
-
-* `TTL`: specifies an optional Time To Live (in seconds) for the
-inserted values. If set, the inserted values are automatically removed
-from the database after the specified time. Note that the TTL concerns
-the inserted values, not the columns themselves. This means that any
-subsequent update of the column will also reset the TTL (to whatever TTL
-is specified in that update). By default, values never expire. A TTL of
-0 is equivalent to no TTL. If the table has a default_time_to_live, a
-TTL of 0 will remove the TTL for the inserted or updated values. A TTL
-of `null` is equivalent to inserting with a TTL of 0.
-
-`UPDATE`, `INSERT`, `DELETE` and `BATCH` statements support the following parameters:
-
-* `TIMESTAMP`: sets the timestamp for the operation. If not specified,
-the coordinator will use the current time (in microseconds) at the start
-of statement execution as the timestamp. This is usually a suitable
-default.
-
-[[delete_statement]]
-== DELETE
-
-Deleting rows or parts of rows uses the `DELETE` statement:
-
-[source,bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/delete_statement.bnf[]
-----
-
-For example:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/delete_statement.cql[]
-----
-
-The `DELETE` statement deletes columns and rows. If column names are
-provided directly after the `DELETE` keyword, only those columns are
-deleted from the row indicated by the `WHERE` clause. Otherwise, whole
-rows are removed.
-
-The `WHERE` clause specifies which rows are to be deleted. Multiple rows
-may be deleted with one statement by using an `IN` operator. A range of
-rows may be deleted using an inequality operator (such as `>=`).
-
-`DELETE` supports the `TIMESTAMP` option with the same semantics as in
-xref:cql/dml.adoc#update-parameters[updates].
-
-In a `DELETE` statement, all deletions within the same partition key are
-applied atomically and in isolation.
-
-A `DELETE` operation can be conditional through the use of an `IF`
-clause, similar to `UPDATE` and `INSERT` statements. However, as with
-`INSERT` and `UPDATE` statements, this will incur a non-negligible
-performance cost because Paxos is used, and should be used sparingly.
-
-[[batch_statement]]
-== BATCH
-
-Multiple `INSERT`, `UPDATE` and `DELETE` can be executed in a single
-statement by grouping them through a `BATCH` statement:
-
-[source, bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/batch_statement.bnf[]
-----
-
-For instance:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/batch_statement.cql[]
-----
-
-The `BATCH` statement group multiple modification statements
-(insertions/updates and deletions) into a single statement. It serves
-several purposes:
-
-* It saves network round-trips between the client and the server (and
-sometimes between the server coordinator and the replicas) when batching
-multiple updates.
-* All updates in a `BATCH` belonging to a given partition key are
-performed in isolation.
-* By default, all operations in the batch are performed as _logged_, to
-ensure all mutations eventually complete (or none will). See the notes
-on xref:cql/dml.adoc#unlogged-batches[UNLOGGED batches] for more details.
-
-Note that:
-
-* `BATCH` statements may only contain `UPDATE`, `INSERT` and `DELETE`
-statements (not other batches for instance).
-* Batches are _not_ a full analogue for SQL transactions.
-* If a timestamp is not specified for each operation, then all
-operations will be applied with the same timestamp (either one generated
-automatically, or the timestamp provided at the batch level). Due to
-Cassandra's conflict resolution procedure in the case of
-http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/FAQ#clocktie[timestamp ties],
-operations may be applied in an order that is different from the order
-they are listed in the `BATCH` statement. To force a particular
-operation ordering, you must specify per-operation timestamps.
-* A LOGGED batch to a single partition will be converted to an UNLOGGED
-batch as an optimization.
-
-[[unlogged-batches]]
-=== `UNLOGGED` batches
-
-By default, Cassandra uses a batch log to ensure all operations in a
-batch eventually complete or none will (note however that operations are
-only isolated within a single partition).
-
-There is a performance penalty for batch atomicity when a batch spans
-multiple partitions. If you do not want to incur this penalty, you can
-tell Cassandra to skip the batchlog with the `UNLOGGED` option. If the
-`UNLOGGED` option is used, a failed batch might leave the patch only
-partly applied.
-
-=== `COUNTER` batches
-
-Use the `COUNTER` option for batched counter updates. Unlike other
-updates in Cassandra, counter updates are not idempotent.

-== Functions
-
-CQL supports 2 main categories of functions:
-
-* xref:cql/functions.adoc#scalar-functions[scalar functions] that take a number of values and produce an output
-* xref:cql/functions.adoc#aggregate-functions[aggregate functions] that aggregate multiple rows resulting from a `SELECT` statement
-
-In both cases, CQL provides a number of native "hard-coded" functions as
-well as the ability to create new user-defined functions.
-
-[NOTE]
-.Note
-====
-By default, the use of user-defined functions is disabled by default for
-security concerns (even when enabled, the execution of user-defined
-functions is sandboxed and a "rogue" function should not be allowed to
-do evil, but no sandbox is perfect so using user-defined functions is
-opt-in). See the `user_defined_functions_enabled` in `cassandra.yaml` to
-enable them.

-
-A function is identifier by its name:

-
-=== Scalar functions
-
-[[scalar-native-functions]]
-==== Native functions
-
-===== Cast
-
-The `cast` function can be used to converts one native datatype to
-another.
-
-The following table describes the conversions supported by the `cast`
-function. Cassandra will silently ignore any cast converting a datatype
-into its own datatype.
-
-[cols=",",options="header",]
-|===
-|From |To
-
-| `ascii` | `text`, `varchar`
-
-| `bigint` | `tinyint`, `smallint`, `int`, `float`, `double`, `decimal`, `varint`,
-`text`, `varchar`
-
-| `boolean` | `text`, `varchar`
-
-| `counter` | `tinyint`, `smallint`, `int`, `bigint`, `float`, `double`, `decimal`,
-`varint`, `text`, `varchar`
-
-| `date` | `timestamp`

-`text`, `varchar`
-
-| `time` | `text`, `varchar`
-
-| `timestamp` | `date`, `text`, `varchar`

-| `timeuuid` | `timestamp`, `date`, `text`, `varchar`
-
-| `tinyint` | `tinyint`, `smallint`, `int`, `bigint`, `float`, `double`, `decimal`,
-`varint`, `text`, `varchar`
-
-| `uuid` | `text`, `varchar`
-
-| `varint` | `tinyint`, `smallint`, `int`, `bigint`, `float`, `double`, `decimal`,
-`text`, `varchar`
-|===
-
-The conversions rely strictly on Java's semantics. For example, the
-double value 1 will be converted to the text value '1.0'. For instance:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-SELECT avg(cast(count as double)) FROM myTable
-----
-
-===== Token
-
-The `token` function computes the token for a given partition key. 
-The exact signature of the token function depends on the table concerned and the partitioner used by the cluster.
-
-The type of the arguments of the `token` depend on the partition key column type. The returned type depends on the defined partitioner:
-
-[cols=",",options="header",]
-|===
-|Partitioner | Returned type
-| Murmur3Partitioner | `bigint`
-| RandomPartitioner | `varint`
-| ByteOrderedPartitioner | `blob`
-|===
-
-For example, consider the following table:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/create_table_simple.cql[]
-----
-
-The table uses the default Murmur3Partitioner.
-The `token` function uses the single argument `text`, because the partition key is `userid` of text type.
-The returned type will be `bigint`.
-
-===== Uuid
-
-The `uuid` function takes no parameters and generates a random type 4
-uuid suitable for use in `INSERT` or `UPDATE` statements.
-
-===== Timeuuid functions
-
-====== `now`
-
-The `now` function takes no arguments and generates, on the coordinator
-node, a new unique timeuuid at the time the function is invoked. Note
-that this method is useful for insertion but is largely non-sensical in
-`WHERE` clauses. 
-
-For example, a query of the form:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/timeuuid_now.cql[]
-----
-
-will not return a result, by design, since the value returned by
-`now()` is guaranteed to be unique.
-
-`currentTimeUUID` is an alias of `now`.
-
-====== `minTimeuuid` and `maxTimeuuid`
-
-The `minTimeuuid` function takes a `timestamp` value `t`, either a timestamp or a date string.
-It returns a _fake_ `timeuuid` corresponding to the _smallest_ possible `timeuuid` for timestamp `t`. 
-The `maxTimeuuid` works similarly, but returns the _largest_ possible `timeuuid`.
-
-For example:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/timeuuid_min_max.cql[]
-----
-
-will select all rows where the `timeuuid` column `t` is later than `'2013-01-01 00:05+0000'` and earlier than `'2013-02-02 10:00+0000'`. 
-The clause `t >= maxTimeuuid('2013-01-01 00:05+0000')` would still _not_ select a `timeuuid` generated exactly at '2013-01-01 00:05+0000', and is essentially equivalent to `t > maxTimeuuid('2013-01-01 00:05+0000')`.
-
-[NOTE]
-.Note
-====
-The values generated by `minTimeuuid` and `maxTimeuuid` are called _fake_ UUID because they do no respect the time-based UUID generation process
-specified by the http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4122.txt[IETF RFC 4122]. 
-In particular, the value returned by these two methods will not be unique.
-Thus, only use these methods for *querying*, not for *insertion*, to prevent possible data overwriting.

-
-===== Datetime functions
-
-====== Retrieving the current date/time
-
-The following functions can be used to retrieve the date/time at the
-time where the function is invoked:
-
-[cols=",",options="header",]
-|===
-|Function name |Output type
-
-| `currentTimestamp` | `timestamp`
-
-| `currentDate` | `date`
-
-| `currentTime` | `time`
-
-| `currentTimeUUID` | `timeUUID`
-|===
-
-For example the last two days of data can be retrieved using:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/currentdate.cql[]
-----
-
-====== Time conversion functions
-
-A number of functions are provided to convert a `timeuuid`, a `timestamp` or a `date` into another `native` type.
-
-[cols=",,",options="header",]
-|===
-|Function name |Input type |Description
-
-| `toDate` | `timeuuid` | Converts the `timeuuid` argument into a `date` type
-
-| `toDate` | `timestamp` | Converts the `timestamp` argument into a `date` type
-
-| `toTimestamp` | `timeuuid` | Converts the `timeuuid` argument into a `timestamp` type
-
-| `toTimestamp` | `date` | Converts the `date` argument into a `timestamp` type
-
-| `toUnixTimestamp` | `timeuuid` | Converts the `timeuuid` argument into a `bigInt` raw value
-
-| `toUnixTimestamp` | `timestamp` | Converts the `timestamp` argument into a `bigInt` raw value
-
-| `toUnixTimestamp` | `date` | Converts the `date` argument into a `bigInt` raw value
-
-| `dateOf` | `timeuuid` | Similar to `toTimestamp(timeuuid)` (DEPRECATED)
-
-| `unixTimestampOf` | `timeuuid` | Similar to `toUnixTimestamp(timeuuid)` (DEPRECATED)
-|===
-
-===== Blob conversion functions
-
-A number of functions are provided to convert the native types into
-binary data, or a `blob`. 
-For every xref:cql/types.adoc#native-types[type] supported by CQL, the function `typeAsBlob` takes a argument of type `type` and returns it as a `blob`.
-Conversely, the function `blobAsType` takes a 64-bit `blob` argument and converts it to a `bigint` value. 
-For example, `bigintAsBlob(3)` returns `0x0000000000000003` and `blobAsBigint(0x0000000000000003)` returns `3`.

-[[user-defined-scalar-functions]]
-==== User-defined functions
-
-User-defined functions (UDFs) execute user-provided code in Cassandra. 
-By default, Cassandra supports defining functions in _Java_ and _JavaScript_.
-Support for other JSR 223 compliant scripting languages, such as Python, Ruby, and Scala, is possible by adding a JAR to the classpath.
-
-UDFs are part of the Cassandra schema, and are automatically propagated to all nodes in the cluster.  
-UDFs can be _overloaded_, so that multiple UDFs with different argument types can have the same function name.
-
-
-[NOTE]
-.Note
-====
-_JavaScript_ user-defined functions have been deprecated. They are planned for removal
-in the next major release.
-====
-
-For example:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/function_overload.cql[]
-----
-
-UDFs are susceptible to all of the normal problems with the chosen programming language. 
-Accordingly, implementations should be safe against null pointer exceptions, illegal arguments, or any other potential source of exceptions. 
-An exception during function execution will result in the entire statement failing.
-Valid queries for UDF use are `SELECT`, `INSERT` and `UPDATE` statements.
-
-_Complex_ types like collections, tuple types and user-defined types are valid argument and return types in UDFs. 
-Tuple types and user-defined types use the DataStax Java Driver conversion functions.
-Please see the Java Driver documentation for details on handling tuple types and user-defined types.
-
-Arguments for functions can be literals or terms. 
-Prepared statement placeholders can be used, too.
-
-Note the use the double dollar-sign syntax to enclose the UDF source code. 
-
-For example:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/function_dollarsign.cql[]
-----
-
-The implicitly available `udfContext` field (or binding for script UDFs) provides the necessary functionality to create new UDT and tuple values:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/function_udfcontext.cql[]
-----
-
-The definition of the `UDFContext` interface can be found in the Apache Cassandra source code for `org.apache.cassandra.cql3.functions.UDFContext`.
-
-[source,java]
-----
-include::example$JAVA/udfcontext.java[]
-----
-
-Java UDFs already have some imports for common interfaces and classes defined. These imports are:
-
-[source,java]
-----
-include::example$JAVA/udf_imports.java[]
-----
-
-Please note, that these convenience imports are not available for script UDFs.
-
-[[create-function-statement]]
-==== CREATE FUNCTION statement
-
-Creating a new user-defined function uses the `CREATE FUNCTION` statement:
-
-[source,bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/create_function_statement.bnf[]
-----
-
-For example:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/create_function.cql[]
-----
-
-`CREATE FUNCTION` with the optional `OR REPLACE` keywords creates either a function or replaces an existing one with the same signature. 
-A `CREATE FUNCTION` without `OR REPLACE` fails if a function with the same signature already exists.  
-If the optional `IF NOT EXISTS` keywords are used, the function will only be created only if another function with the same signature does not
-exist.
-`OR REPLACE` and `IF NOT EXISTS` cannot be used together.
-
-Behavior for `null` input values must be defined for each function:
-
-* `RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT` declares that the function will always return `null` if any of the input arguments is `null`.
-* `CALLED ON NULL INPUT` declares that the function will always be executed.
-
-===== Function Signature
-
-Signatures are used to distinguish individual functions. The signature consists of a fully-qualified function name of the <keyspace>.<function_name> and a concatenated list of all the argument types.
-
-Note that keyspace names, function names and argument types are subject to the default naming conventions and case-sensitivity rules.
-
-Functions belong to a keyspace; if no keyspace is specified, the current keyspace is used. 
-User-defined functions are not allowed in the system keyspaces.
-
-[[drop-function-statement]]
-==== DROP FUNCTION statement
-
-Dropping a function uses the `DROP FUNCTION` statement:
-
-[source, bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/drop_function_statement.bnf[]
-----
-
-For example:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/drop_function.cql[]
-----
-
-You must specify the argument types of the function, the arguments_signature, in the drop command if there are multiple overloaded functions with the same name but different signatures.  
-`DROP FUNCTION` with the optional `IF EXISTS` keywords drops a function if it exists, but does not throw an error if it doesn't.
-
-[[aggregate-functions]]
-=== Aggregate functions
-
-Aggregate functions work on a set of rows. 
-Values for each row are input, to return a single value for the set of rows aggregated.
-
-If `normal` columns, `scalar functions`, `UDT` fields, `writetime`, or `ttl` are selected together with aggregate functions, the values
-returned for them will be the ones of the first row matching the query.
-
-==== Native aggregates
-
-[[count-function]]
-===== Count
-
-The `count` function can be used to count the rows returned by a query.
-
-For example:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/count.cql[]
-----
-
-It also can count the non-null values of a given column:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/count_nonnull.cql[]
-----
-
-===== Max and Min
-
-The `max` and `min` functions compute the maximum and the minimum value returned by a query for a given column. 
-
-For example:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/min_max.cql[]
-----
-
-===== Sum
-
-The `sum` function sums up all the values returned by a query for a given column. 
-
-For example:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/sum.cql[]
-----
-
-===== Avg
-
-The `avg` function computes the average of all the values returned by a query for a given column. 
-
-For example:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/avg.cql[]
-----
-
-[[user-defined-aggregates-functions]]
-==== User-Defined Aggregates (UDAs)
-
-User-defined aggregates allow the creation of custom aggregate functions. 
-User-defined aggregates can be used in `SELECT` statement.
-
-Each aggregate requires an _initial state_ of type `STYPE` defined with the `INITCOND`value (default value: `null`). 
-The first argument of the state function must have type `STYPE`. 
-The remaining arguments of the state function must match the types of the user-defined aggregate arguments. 
-The state function is called once for each row, and the value returned by the state function becomes the new state. 
-After all rows are processed, the optional `FINALFUNC` is executed with last state value as its argument.
-
-The `STYPE` value is mandatory in order to distinguish possibly overloaded versions of the state and/or final function, since the
-overload can appear after creation of the aggregate.
-
-
-A complete working example for user-defined aggregates (assuming that a
-keyspace has been selected using the `USE` statement):
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/uda.cql[]
-----
-
-[[create-aggregate-statement]]
-==== CREATE AGGREGATE statement
-
-Creating (or replacing) a user-defined aggregate function uses the
-`CREATE AGGREGATE` statement:
-
-[source, bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/create_aggregate_statement.bnf[]
-----
-
-See above for a complete example.
-
-The `CREATE AGGREGATE` command with the optional `OR REPLACE` keywords creates either an aggregate or replaces an existing one with the same
-signature. 
-A `CREATE AGGREGATE` without `OR REPLACE` fails if an aggregate with the same signature already exists.
-The `CREATE AGGREGATE` command with the optional `IF NOT EXISTS` keywords creates an aggregate if it does not already exist.
-The `OR REPLACE` and `IF NOT EXISTS` phrases cannot be used together.
-
-The `STYPE` value defines the type of the state value and must be specified.
-The optional `INITCOND` defines the initial state value for the aggregate; the default value is `null`. 
-A non-null `INITCOND` must be specified for state functions that are declared with `RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT`.
-
-The `SFUNC` value references an existing function to use as the state-modifying function. 
-The first argument of the state function must have type `STYPE`.
-The remaining arguments of the state function must match the types of the user-defined aggregate arguments.
-The state function is called once for each row, and the value returned by the state function becomes the new state.
-State is not updated for state functions declared with `RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT` and called with `null`.
-After all rows are processed, the optional `FINALFUNC` is executed with last state value as its argument.
-It must take only one argument with type `STYPE`, but the return type of the `FINALFUNC` may be a different type. 
-A final function declared with `RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT` means that the aggregate's return value will be `null`, if the last state is `null`.
-
-If no `FINALFUNC` is defined, the overall return type of the aggregate function is `STYPE`. 
-If a `FINALFUNC` is defined, it is the return type of that function.
-
-[[drop-aggregate-statement]]
-==== DROP AGGREGATE statement
-
-Dropping an user-defined aggregate function uses the `DROP AGGREGATE`
-statement:
-
-[source, bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/drop_aggregate_statement.bnf[]
-----
-
-For instance:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/drop_aggregate.cql[]
-----
-
-The `DROP AGGREGATE` statement removes an aggregate created using `CREATE AGGREGATE`. 
-You must specify the argument types of the aggregate to drop if there are multiple overloaded aggregates with the same name but a
-different signature.
-
-The `DROP AGGREGATE` command with the optional `IF EXISTS` keywords drops an aggregate if it exists, and does nothing if a function with the
-signature does not exist.

-= JSON Support
-
-Cassandra 2.2 introduces JSON support to `SELECT <select-statement>` and
-`INSERT <insert-statement>` statements. 
-This support does not fundamentally alter the CQL API (for example, the schema is still
-enforced).
-It simply provides a convenient way to work with JSON documents.
-
-== SELECT JSON
-
-With `SELECT` statements, the `JSON` keyword is used to return each row as a single `JSON` encoded map. 
-The remainder of the `SELECT` statement behavior is the same.
-
-The result map keys match the column names in a normal result set. 
-For example, a statement like `SELECT JSON a, ttl(b) FROM ...` would result in a map with keys `"a"` and `"ttl(b)"`. 
-However, there is one notable exception: for symmetry with `INSERT JSON` behavior, case-sensitive column names with upper-case letters will be surrounded with double quotes. 
-For example, `SELECT JSON myColumn FROM ...` would result in a map key `"\"myColumn\""` with escaped quotes).
-
-The map values will JSON-encoded representations (as described below) of the result set values.
-
-== INSERT JSON
-
-With `INSERT` statements, the new `JSON` keyword can be used to enable
-inserting a `JSON` encoded map as a single row. The format of the `JSON`
-map should generally match that returned by a `SELECT JSON` statement on
-the same table. In particular, case-sensitive column names should be
-surrounded with double quotes. For example, to insert into a table with
-two columns named "myKey" and "value", you would do the following:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/insert_json.cql[]
-----
-
-By default (or if `DEFAULT NULL` is explicitly used), a column omitted
-from the `JSON` map will be set to `NULL`, meaning that any pre-existing
-value for that column will be removed (resulting in a tombstone being
-created). Alternatively, if the `DEFAULT UNSET` directive is used after
-the value, omitted column values will be left unset, meaning that
-pre-existing values for those column will be preserved.
-
-== JSON Encoding of Cassandra Data Types
-
-Where possible, Cassandra will represent and accept data types in their
-native `JSON` representation. Cassandra will also accept string
-representations matching the CQL literal format for all single-field
-types. For example, floats, ints, UUIDs, and dates can be represented by
-CQL literal strings. However, compound types, such as collections,
-tuples, and user-defined types must be represented by native `JSON`
-collections (maps and lists) or a JSON-encoded string representation of
-the collection.
-
-The following table describes the encodings that Cassandra will accept
-in `INSERT JSON` values (and `fromJson()` arguments) as well as the
-format Cassandra will use when returning data for `SELECT JSON`
-statements (and `fromJson()`):
-
-[cols=",,,",options="header",]
-|===
-|Type |Formats accepted |Return format |Notes
-
-| `ascii` | string | string | Uses JSON's `\u` character escape
-
-| `bigint` | integer, string | integer | String must be valid 64 bit integer
-
-| `blob` | string | string | String should be 0x followed by an even number of hex digits
-
-| `boolean` | boolean, string | boolean | String must be "true" or "false"
-
-| `date` | string | string | Date in format `YYYY-MM-DD`, timezone UTC
-
-| `decimal` | integer, float, string | float | May exceed 32 or 64-bit IEEE-754 floating point precision in client-side decoder

-
-| `inet` | string | string | IPv4 or IPv6 address
-
-| `int` | integer, string | integer | String must be valid 32 bit integer
-
-| `list` | list, string | list | Uses JSON's native list representation

-
-| `time` | string | string | Time of day in format `HH-MM-SS[.fffffffff]`
-
-| `timestamp` | integer, string | string | A timestamp. Strings constant allows to input `timestamps
-as dates <timestamps>`. Datestamps with format `YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.SSS`
-are returned.
-
-| `timeuuid` | string | string | Type 1 UUID. See `constant` for the UUID format
-
-| `tinyint` | integer, string | integer | String must be valid 8 bit integer
-
-| `tuple` | list, string | list | Uses JSON's native list representation
-
-| `UDT` | map, string | map | Uses JSON's native map representation with field names as keys

-
-| `varchar` | string | string | Uses JSON's `\u` character escape
-
-| `varint` | integer, string | integer | Variable length; may overflow 32 or 64 bit integers in client-side decoder
-|===
-
-== The fromJson() Function
-
-The `fromJson()` function may be used similarly to `INSERT JSON`, but
-for a single column value. It may only be used in the `VALUES` clause of
-an `INSERT` statement or as one of the column values in an `UPDATE`,
-`DELETE`, or `SELECT` statement. For example, it cannot be used in the
-selection clause of a `SELECT` statement.
-
-== The toJson() Function
-
-The `toJson()` function may be used similarly to `SELECT JSON`, but for
-a single column value. It may only be used in the selection clause of a
-`SELECT` statement.

-[[cql-roles]]
-== Database Roles
-
-CQL uses database roles to represent users and group of users.
-Syntactically, a role is defined by:
-
-[source, bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/role_name.bnf[]
-----
-
-
-[[create-role-statement]]
-=== CREATE ROLE
-
-Creating a role uses the `CREATE ROLE` statement:
-
-[source, bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/create_role_statement.bnf[]
-----
-
-For instance:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/create_role.cql[]
-----
-
-By default roles do not possess `LOGIN` privileges or `SUPERUSER`
-status.
-
-xref:cql/security.adoc#cql-permissions[Permissions] on database resources are granted to
-roles; types of resources include keyspaces, tables, functions and roles
-themselves. Roles may be granted to other roles to create hierarchical
-permissions structures; in these hierarchies, permissions and
-`SUPERUSER` status are inherited, but the `LOGIN` privilege is not.
-
-If a role has the `LOGIN` privilege, clients may identify as that role
-when connecting. For the duration of that connection, the client will
-acquire any roles and privileges granted to that role.
-
-Only a client with with the `CREATE` permission on the database roles
-resource may issue `CREATE ROLE` requests (see the
-xref:cql/security.adoc#cql-permissions[relevant section]), unless the client is a
-`SUPERUSER`. Role management in Cassandra is pluggable and custom
-implementations may support only a subset of the listed options.
-
-Role names should be quoted if they contain non-alphanumeric characters.
-
-==== Setting credentials for internal authentication
-
-Use the `WITH PASSWORD` clause to set a password for internal
-authentication, enclosing the password in single quotation marks.
-
-If internal authentication has not been set up or the role does not have
-`LOGIN` privileges, the `WITH PASSWORD` clause is not necessary.
-
-USE `WITH HASHED PASSWORD` to provide the jBcrypt hashed password directly. See the `hash_password` tool.
-
-==== Restricting connections to specific datacenters
-
-If a `network_authorizer` has been configured, you can restrict login
-roles to specific datacenters with the `ACCESS TO DATACENTERS` clause
-followed by a set literal of datacenters the user can access. Not
-specifiying datacenters implicitly grants access to all datacenters. The
-clause `ACCESS TO ALL DATACENTERS` can be used for explicitness, but
-there's no functional difference.
-
-==== Creating a role conditionally
-
-Attempting to create an existing role results in an invalid query
-condition unless the `IF NOT EXISTS` option is used. If the option is
-used and the role exists, the statement is a no-op:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/create_role_ifnotexists.cql[]
-----
-
-[[alter-role-statement]]
-=== ALTER ROLE
-
-Altering a role options uses the `ALTER ROLE` statement:
-
-[source, bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/alter_role_statement.bnf[]
-----
-
-For example:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/alter_role.cql[]
-----
-If the role does not exist, the statement will return an error, unless `IF EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
-
-USE `WITH HASHED PASSWORD` to provide the jBcrypt hashed password directly. See the `hash_password` tool.
-
-==== Restricting connections to specific datacenters
-
-If a `network_authorizer` has been configured, you can restrict login
-roles to specific datacenters with the `ACCESS TO DATACENTERS` clause
-followed by a set literal of datacenters the user can access. To remove
-any data center restrictions, use the `ACCESS TO ALL DATACENTERS`
-clause.
-
-Conditions on executing `ALTER ROLE` statements:
-
-* a client must have `SUPERUSER` status to alter the `SUPERUSER` status
-of another role
-* a client cannot alter the `SUPERUSER` status of any role it currently
-holds
-* a client can only modify certain properties of the role with which it
-identified at login (e.g. `PASSWORD`)
-* to modify properties of a role, the client must be granted `ALTER`
-`permission <cql-permissions>` on that role
-
-[[drop-role-statement]]
-=== DROP ROLE
-
-Dropping a role uses the `DROP ROLE` statement:
-
-[source, bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/drop_role_statement.bnf[]
-----
-
-`DROP ROLE` requires the client to have `DROP`
-`permission <cql-permissions>` on the role in question. In addition,
-client may not `DROP` the role with which it identified at login.
-Finally, only a client with `SUPERUSER` status may `DROP` another
-`SUPERUSER` role.
-
-Attempting to drop a role which does not exist results in an invalid
-query condition unless the `IF EXISTS` option is used. If the option is
-used and the role does not exist the statement is a no-op.
-
-[NOTE]
-.Note
-====
-DROP ROLE intentionally does not terminate any open user sessions.
-Currently connected sessions will remain connected and will retain the
-ability to perform any database actions which do not require
-xref:cql/security.adoc#authorization[authorization]. 
-However, if authorization is enabled, xref:cql/security.adoc#cql-permissions[permissions] of the dropped role are also revoked,
-subject to the xref:cql/security.adoc#auth-caching[caching options] configured in xref:cql/configuring.adoc#cassandra.yaml[cassandra-yaml] file. 
-Should a dropped role be subsequently recreated and have new xref:security.adoc#grant-permission-statement[permissions] or
-xref:security.adoc#grant-role-statement[roles]` granted to it, any client sessions still
-connected will acquire the newly granted permissions and roles.
-====
-
-[[grant-role-statement]]
-=== GRANT ROLE
-
-Granting a role to another uses the `GRANT ROLE` statement:
-
-[source, bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/grant_role_statement.bnf[]
-----
-
-For example:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/grant_role.cql[]
-----
-
-This statement grants the `report_writer` role to `alice`. Any
-permissions granted to `report_writer` are also acquired by `alice`.
-
-Roles are modelled as a directed acyclic graph, so circular grants are
-not permitted. The following examples result in error conditions:
-
-[source,cql]

-
-[[revoke-role-statement]]
-=== REVOKE ROLE

-include::example$CQL/revoke_role.cql[]
-----
-
-This statement revokes the `report_writer` role from `alice`. Any
-permissions that `alice` has acquired via the `report_writer` role are
-also revoked.
-
-[[list-roles-statement]]
-=== LIST ROLES
-
-All the known roles (in the system or granted to specific role) can be
-listed using the `LIST ROLES` statement:
-
-[source, bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/list_roles_statement.bnf[]
-----
-
-For instance:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/list_roles.cql[]
-----
-
-returns all known roles in the system, this requires `DESCRIBE`
-permission on the database roles resource. 
-
-This example enumerates all roles granted to `alice`, including those transitively
-acquired:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/list_roles_of.cql[]
-----
-
-This example lists all roles directly granted to `bob` without including any of the
-transitively acquired ones:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/list_roles_nonrecursive.cql[]
-----
-
-== Users
-
-Prior to the introduction of roles in Cassandra 2.2, authentication and
-authorization were based around the concept of a `USER`. For backward
-compatibility, the legacy syntax has been preserved with `USER` centric
-statements becoming synonyms for the `ROLE` based equivalents. In other
-words, creating/updating a user is just a different syntax for
-creating/updating a role.
-
-[[create-user-statement]]
-=== CREATE USER
-
-Creating a user uses the `CREATE USER` statement:
-
-[source, bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/create_user_statement.bnf[]
-----
-
-For example:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/create_user.cql[]
-----
-
-The `CREATE USER` command is equivalent to `CREATE ROLE` where the `LOGIN` option is `true`. 
-So, the following pairs of statements are equivalent:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/create_user_role.cql[]
-----
-
-[[alter-user-statement]]
-=== ALTER USER
-
-Altering the options of a user uses the `ALTER USER` statement:
-
-[source, bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/alter_user_statement.bnf[]
-----
-If the role does not exist, the statement will return an error, unless `IF EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
-For example:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/alter_user.cql[]
-----
-
-[[drop-user-statement]]
-=== DROP USER
-
-Dropping a user uses the `DROP USER` statement:
-
-[source, bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/drop_user_statement.bnf[]
-----
-
-[[list-users-statement]]
-=== LIST USERS
-
-Existing users can be listed using the `LIST USERS` statement:
-
-[source, bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/list_users_statement.bnf[]
-----
-
-Note that this statement is equivalent to xref:security.adoc#list-roles-statement[`LIST ROLES], but only roles with the `LOGIN` privilege are included in the output.
-
-== Data Control
-
-[[cql-permissions]]
-=== Permissions
-
-Permissions on resources are granted to roles; there are several
-different types of resources in Cassandra and each type is modelled
-hierarchically:
-
-* The hierarchy of Data resources, Keyspaces and Tables has the
-structure `ALL KEYSPACES` -> `KEYSPACE` -> `TABLE`.
-* Function resources have the structure `ALL FUNCTIONS` -> `KEYSPACE` ->
-`FUNCTION`
-* Resources representing roles have the structure `ALL ROLES` -> `ROLE`
-* Resources representing JMX ObjectNames, which map to sets of
-MBeans/MXBeans, have the structure `ALL MBEANS` -> `MBEAN`
-
-Permissions can be granted at any level of these hierarchies and they
-flow downwards. So granting a permission on a resource higher up the
-chain automatically grants that same permission on all resources lower
-down. For example, granting `SELECT` on a `KEYSPACE` automatically
-grants it on all `TABLES` in that `KEYSPACE`. Likewise, granting a
-permission on `ALL FUNCTIONS` grants it on every defined function,
-regardless of which keyspace it is scoped in. It is also possible to
-grant permissions on all functions scoped to a particular keyspace.
-
-Modifications to permissions are visible to existing client sessions;
-that is, connections need not be re-established following permissions
-changes.
-
-The full set of available permissions is:
-
-* `CREATE`
-* `ALTER`
-* `DROP`
-* `SELECT`
-* `MODIFY`
-* `AUTHORIZE`
-* `DESCRIBE`
-* `EXECUTE`
-
-Not all permissions are applicable to every type of resource. For
-instance, `EXECUTE` is only relevant in the context of functions or
-mbeans; granting `EXECUTE` on a resource representing a table is
-nonsensical. Attempting to `GRANT` a permission on resource to which it
-cannot be applied results in an error response. The following
-illustrates which permissions can be granted on which types of resource,
-and which statements are enabled by that permission.

-[[grant-permission-statement]]
-=== GRANT PERMISSION
-
-Granting a permission uses the `GRANT PERMISSION` statement:
-
-[source, bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/grant_permission_statement.bnf[]
-----
-
-For example:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/grant_perm.cql[]
-----
-
-This example gives any user with the role `data_reader` permission to execute
-`SELECT` statements on any table across all keyspaces:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/grant_modify.cql[]
-----
-
-To give any user with the role `data_writer` permission to perform
-`UPDATE`, `INSERT`, `UPDATE`, `DELETE` and `TRUNCATE` queries on all
-tables in the `keyspace1` keyspace:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/grant_drop.cql[]
-----
-
-To give any user with the `schema_owner` role permissions to `DROP` a specific
-`keyspace1.table1`:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/grant_execute.cql[]
-----
-
-This command grants any user with the `report_writer` role permission to execute
-`SELECT`, `INSERT` and `UPDATE` queries which use the function
-`keyspace1.user_function( int )`:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/grant_describe.cql[]
-----
-
-This grants any user with the `role_admin` role permission to view any
-and all roles in the system with a `LIST ROLES` statement.
-
-==== GRANT ALL
-
-When the `GRANT ALL` form is used, the appropriate set of permissions is
-determined automatically based on the target resource.
-
-==== Automatic Granting
-
-When a resource is created, via a `CREATE KEYSPACE`, `CREATE TABLE`,
-`CREATE FUNCTION`, `CREATE AGGREGATE` or `CREATE ROLE` statement, the
-creator (the role the database user who issues the statement is
-identified as), is automatically granted all applicable permissions on
-the new resource.
-
-[[revoke-permission-statement]]
-=== REVOKE PERMISSION
-
-Revoking a permission from a role uses the `REVOKE PERMISSION`
-statement:
-
-[source, bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/revoke_permission_statement.bnf[]
-----
-
-For example:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/revoke_perm.cql[]
-----
-
-Because of their function in normal driver operations, certain tables
-cannot have their `SELECT` permissions revoked. The

-their assigned role:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/no_revoke.cql[]
-----
-
-[[list-permissions-statement]]
-=== LIST PERMISSIONS
-
-Listing granted permissions uses the `LIST PERMISSIONS` statement:
-
-[source, bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/list_permissions_statement.bnf[]
-----
-
-For example:
-
-[source,cql]

-
-Show all permissions granted to `alice`, including those acquired
-transitively from any other roles:

-
-Show all permissions on `keyspace1.table1` granted to `bob`, including
-those acquired transitively from any other roles. This also includes any
-permissions higher up the resource hierarchy which can be applied to
-`keyspace1.table1`. For example, should `bob` have `ALTER` permission on
-`keyspace1`, that would be included in the results of this query. Adding
-the `NORECURSIVE` switch restricts the results to only those permissions
-which were directly granted to `bob` or one of `bob`'s roles:
-
-[source,cql]

-= Data Types
-
-CQL is a typed language and supports a rich set of data types, including
-xref:cql/types.adoc#native-types[native types], xref:cql/types.adoc#collections[collection types],
-xref:cql/types.adoc#udts[user-defined types], xref:cql/types.adoc#tuples[tuple types], and xref:cql/types.adoc#custom-types[custom

-----
-
-== Native types
-
-The native types supported by CQL are:
-
-[source, bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/native_type.bnf[]
-----
-
-The following table gives additional informations on the native data
-types, and on which kind of xref:cql/definitions.adoc#constants[constants] each type supports:
-
-[cols=",,",options="header",]
-|===
-| Type | Constants supported | Description
-
-| `ascii` | `string` | ASCII character string
-| `bigint` | `integer` | 64-bit signed long
-| `blob` | `blob` | Arbitrary bytes (no validation)
-| `boolean` | `boolean` | Either `true` or `false` 
-| `counter` | `integer` | Counter column (64-bit signed value). See `counters` for details.
-| `date` | `integer`, `string` | A date (with no corresponding time value). See `dates` below for details.
-| `decimal` | `integer`, `float` | Variable-precision decimal
-| `double` | `integer` `float` | 64-bit IEEE-754 floating point
-| `duration` | `duration`, | A duration with nanosecond precision. See `durations` below for details.
-| `float` | `integer`, `float` | 32-bit IEEE-754 floating point
-| `inet` | `string` | An IP address, either IPv4 (4 bytes long) or IPv6 (16 bytes long). Note
-that there is no `inet` constant, IP address should be input as strings.
-| `int` | `integer` | 32-bit signed int
-| `smallint` | `integer` | 16-bit signed int
-| `text` | `string` | UTF8 encoded string
-| `time` | `integer`, `string` | A time (with no corresponding date value) with nanosecond precision. See
-`times` below for details.
-| `timestamp` | `integer`, `string` | A timestamp (date and time) with millisecond precision. See `timestamps`
-below for details.
-| `timeuuid` | `uuid` | Version 1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier[UUID],
-generally used as a “conflict-free” timestamp. Also see `timeuuid-functions`.
-| `tinyint` | `integer` | 8-bit signed int
-| `uuid` | `uuid` | A https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier[UUID] (of any version)
-| `varchar` | `string` | UTF8 encoded string
-| `varint` | `integer` | Arbitrary-precision integer
-|===
-
-=== Counters
-
-The `counter` type is used to define _counter columns_. A counter column
-is a column whose value is a 64-bit signed integer and on which 2
-operations are supported: incrementing and decrementing (see the
-xref:cql/dml.adoc#update-statement[UPDATE] statement for syntax). 
-Note that the value of a counter cannot
-be set: a counter does not exist until first incremented/decremented,
-and that first increment/decrement is made as if the prior value was 0.
-
-[[counter-limitations]]
-Counters have a number of important limitations:
-
-* They cannot be used for columns part of the `PRIMARY KEY` of a table.
-* A table that contains a counter can only contain counters. In other
-words, either all the columns of a table outside the `PRIMARY KEY` have
-the `counter` type, or none of them have it.
-* Counters do not support xref:cql/dml.adoc#writetime-and-ttl-function[expiration].
-* The deletion of counters is supported, but is only guaranteed to work
-the first time you delete a counter. In other words, you should not
-re-update a counter that you have deleted (if you do, proper behavior is
-not guaranteed).
-* Counter updates are, by nature, not
-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idempotence[idemptotent]. An important
-consequence is that if a counter update fails unexpectedly (timeout or
-loss of connection to the coordinator node), the client has no way to
-know if the update has been applied or not. In particular, replaying the
-update may or may not lead to an over count.
-
-[[timestamps]]
-== Working with timestamps
-
-Values of the `timestamp` type are encoded as 64-bit signed integers
-representing a number of milliseconds since the standard base time known
-as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time[the epoch]: January 1 1970 at
-00:00:00 GMT.
-
-Timestamps can be input in CQL either using their value as an `integer`,
-or using a `string` that represents an
-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601[ISO 8601] date. For instance, all
-of the values below are valid `timestamp` values for Mar 2, 2011, at
-04:05:00 AM, GMT:
-
-* `1299038700000`
-* `'2011-02-03 04:05+0000'`
-* `'2011-02-03 04:05:00+0000'`
-* `'2011-02-03 04:05:00.000+0000'`
-* `'2011-02-03T04:05+0000'`
-* `'2011-02-03T04:05:00+0000'`
-* `'2011-02-03T04:05:00.000+0000'`
-
-The `+0000` above is an RFC 822 4-digit time zone specification; `+0000`
-refers to GMT. US Pacific Standard Time is `-0800`. The time zone may be
-omitted if desired (`'2011-02-03 04:05:00'`), and if so, the date will
-be interpreted as being in the time zone under which the coordinating
-Cassandra node is configured. There are however difficulties inherent in
-relying on the time zone configuration being as expected, so it is
-recommended that the time zone always be specified for timestamps when
-feasible.
-
-The time of day may also be omitted (`'2011-02-03'` or
-`'2011-02-03+0000'`), in which case the time of day will default to
-00:00:00 in the specified or default time zone. However, if only the
-date part is relevant, consider using the xref:cql/types.adoc#dates[date] type.
-
-[[dates]]
-== Date type
-
-Values of the `date` type are encoded as 32-bit unsigned integers
-representing a number of days with “the epoch” at the center of the
-range (2^31). Epoch is January 1st, 1970
-
-For xref:cql/types.adoc#timestamps[timestamps], a date can be input either as an
-`integer` or using a date `string`. In the later case, the format should
-be `yyyy-mm-dd` (so `'2011-02-03'` for instance).
-
-[[times]]
-== Time type
-
-Values of the `time` type are encoded as 64-bit signed integers
-representing the number of nanoseconds since midnight.
-
-For xref:cql/types.adoc#timestamps[timestamps], a time can be input either as an
-`integer` or using a `string` representing the time. In the later case,
-the format should be `hh:mm:ss[.fffffffff]` (where the sub-second
-precision is optional and if provided, can be less than the nanosecond).
-So for instance, the following are valid inputs for a time:
-
-* `'08:12:54'`
-* `'08:12:54.123'`
-* `'08:12:54.123456'`
-* `'08:12:54.123456789'`
-
-[[durations]]
-== Duration type
-
-Values of the `duration` type are encoded as 3 signed integer of
-variable lengths. The first integer represents the number of months, the
-second the number of days and the third the number of nanoseconds. This
-is due to the fact that the number of days in a month can change, and a
-day can have 23 or 25 hours depending on the daylight saving.
-Internally, the number of months and days are decoded as 32 bits
-integers whereas the number of nanoseconds is decoded as a 64 bits
-integer.
-
-A duration can be input as:
-
-* `(quantity unit)+` like `12h30m` where the unit can be:
-** `y`: years (12 months)
-** `mo`: months (1 month)
-** `w`: weeks (7 days)
-** `d`: days (1 day)
-** `h`: hours (3,600,000,000,000 nanoseconds)
-** `m`: minutes (60,000,000,000 nanoseconds)
-** `s`: seconds (1,000,000,000 nanoseconds)
-** `ms`: milliseconds (1,000,000 nanoseconds)
-** `us` or `µs` : microseconds (1000 nanoseconds)
-** `ns`: nanoseconds (1 nanosecond)
-* ISO 8601 format: `P[n]Y[n]M[n]DT[n]H[n]M[n]S or P[n]W`
-* ISO 8601 alternative format: `P[YYYY]-[MM]-[DD]T[hh]:[mm]:[ss]`
-
-For example:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/insert_duration.cql[]
-----
-
-[[duration-limitation]]
-Duration columns cannot be used in a table's `PRIMARY KEY`. This
-limitation is due to the fact that durations cannot be ordered. It is
-effectively not possible to know if `1mo` is greater than `29d` without
-a date context.
-
-A `1d` duration is not equal to a `24h` one as the duration type has
-been created to be able to support daylight saving.
-
-== Collections
-
-CQL supports three kinds of collections: `maps`, `sets` and `lists`. The
-types of those collections is defined by:
-
-[source,bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/collection_type.bnf[]
-----
-
-and their values can be inputd using collection literals:
-
-[source,bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/collection_literal.bnf[]
-----
-
-Note however that neither `bind_marker` nor `NULL` are supported inside
-collection literals.
-
-=== Noteworthy characteristics
-
-Collections are meant for storing/denormalizing relatively small amount
-of data. They work well for things like “the phone numbers of a given
-user”, “labels applied to an email”, etc. But when items are expected to
-grow unbounded (“all messages sent by a user”, “events registered by a
-sensor”...), then collections are not appropriate and a specific table
-(with clustering columns) should be used. Concretely, (non-frozen)
-collections have the following noteworthy characteristics and
-limitations:
-
-* Individual collections are not indexed internally. Which means that
-even to access a single element of a collection, the while collection
-has to be read (and reading one is not paged internally).
-* While insertion operations on sets and maps never incur a
-read-before-write internally, some operations on lists do. Further, some
-lists operations are not idempotent by nature (see the section on
-xref:cql/types.adoc#lists[lists] below for details), making their retry in case of
-timeout problematic. It is thus advised to prefer sets over lists when
-possible.
-
-Please note that while some of those limitations may or may not be
-removed/improved upon in the future, it is a anti-pattern to use a
-(single) collection to store large amounts of data.
-
-=== Maps
-
-A `map` is a (sorted) set of key-value pairs, where keys are unique and
-the map is sorted by its keys. You can define and insert a map with:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/map.cql[]

-
-Further, maps support:
-
-* Updating or inserting one or more elements:

-Lastly, for xref:cql/types.adoc#sets[sets], TTLs are only applied to newly inserted values.

-=== Lists

-[NOTE]
-.Note
-====
-As mentioned above and further discussed at the end of this section,
-lists have limitations and specific performance considerations that you
-should take into account before using them. In general, if you can use a
-xref:cql/types.adoc#sets[set] instead of list, always prefer a set.
-====
-
-A `list` is a (sorted) collection of non-unique values where
-elements are ordered by there position in the list. You can define and
-insert a list with:
-

-
-[WARNING]
-.Warning
-====
-The append and prepend operations are not idempotent by nature. So in
-particular, if one of these operation timeout, then retrying the
-operation is not safe and it may (or may not) lead to
-appending/prepending the value twice.
-====
-
-* Setting the value at a particular position in a list that has a pre-existing element for that position. An error

-* Removing an element by its position in the list that has a pre-existing element for that position. An error
-will be thrown if the list does not have the position. Further, as the operation removes an
-element from the list, the list size will decrease by one element, shifting
-the position of all the following elements one forward:

-
-[WARNING]

-====
-Setting and removing an element by position and removing occurences of
-particular values incur an internal _read-before-write_. These operations will
-run slowly and use more resources than usual updates (with the
-exclusion of conditional write that have their own cost).
-====
-
-Lastly, for xref:cql/types.adoc#lists[lists], TTLs only apply to newly inserted values.
-
-[[udts]]
-== User-Defined Types (UDTs)
-
-CQL support the definition of user-defined types (UDTs). Such a
-type can be created, modified and removed using the
-`create_type_statement`, `alter_type_statement` and
-`drop_type_statement` described below. But once created, a UDT is simply
-referred to by its name:
-
-[source, bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/udt.bnf[]
-----
-
-=== Creating a UDT
-
-Creating a new user-defined type is done using a `CREATE TYPE` statement
-defined by:
-
-[source, bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/create_type.bnf[]
-----
-
-A UDT has a name (used to declared columns of that type) and is a set of
-named and typed fields. Fields name can be any type, including
-collections or other UDT. For instance:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/udt.cql[]
-----
-
-Things to keep in mind about UDTs:
-
-* Attempting to create an already existing type will result in an error
-unless the `IF NOT EXISTS` option is used. If it is used, the statement
-will be a no-op if the type already exists.
-* A type is intrinsically bound to the keyspace in which it is created,
-and can only be used in that keyspace. At creation, if the type name is
-prefixed by a keyspace name, it is created in that keyspace. Otherwise,
-it is created in the current keyspace.
-* As of Cassandra , UDT have to be frozen in most cases, hence the
-`frozen<address>` in the table definition above. Please see the section
-on xref:cql/types.adoc#frozen[frozen] for more details.
-
-=== UDT literals
-
-Once a used-defined type has been created, value can be input using a
-UDT literal:
-
-[source,bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/udt_literal.bnf[]
-----
-
-In other words, a UDT literal is like a xref:cql/types.adoc#maps[map]` literal but its
-keys are the names of the fields of the type. For instance, one could
-insert into the table define in the previous section using:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/insert_udt.cql[]
-----
-
-To be valid, a UDT literal can only include fields defined by the
-type it is a literal of, but it can omit some fields (these will be set to `NULL`).
-
-=== Altering a UDT
-
-An existing user-defined type can be modified using an `ALTER TYPE`
-statement:
-
-[source,bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/alter_udt_statement.bnf[]
-----
-If the type does not exist, the statement will return an error, unless `IF EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
-You can:
-
-* Add a new field to the type (`ALTER TYPE address ADD country text`).
-That new field will be `NULL` for any values of the type created before
-the addition. If the new field exists, the statement will return an error, unless `IF NOT EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
-* Rename the fields of the type. If the field(s) does not exist, the statement will return an error, unless `IF EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/rename_udt_field.cql[]
-----
-
-=== Dropping a UDT
-
-You can drop an existing user-defined type using a `DROP TYPE`
-statement:
-
-[source,bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/drop_udt_statement.bnf[]
-----
-
-Dropping a type results in the immediate, irreversible removal of that
-type. However, attempting to drop a type that is still in use by another
-type, table or function will result in an error.
-
-If the type dropped does not exist, an error will be returned unless
-`IF EXISTS` is used, in which case the operation is a no-op.
-
-== Tuples
-
-CQL also support tuples and tuple types (where the elements can be of
-different types). Functionally, tuples can be though as anonymous UDT
-with anonymous fields. Tuple types and tuple literals are defined by:
-
-[source,bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/tuple.bnf[]
-----
-
-and can be created:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/tuple.cql[]
-----
-
-Unlike other composed types, like collections and UDTs, a tuple is always
-`frozen <frozen>` (without the need of the `frozen` keyword)
-and it is not possible to update only some elements of a tuple (without
-updating the whole tuple). Also, a tuple literal should always have the
-same number of value than declared in the type it is a tuple of (some of
-those values can be null but they need to be explicitly declared as so).
-
-== Custom Types
-
-[NOTE]
-.Note
-====
-Custom types exists mostly for backward compatibility purposes and their
-usage is discouraged. Their usage is complex, not user friendly and the
-other provided types, particularly xref:cql/types.adoc#udts[user-defined types], should
-almost always be enough.
-====
-
-A custom type is defined by:
-
-[source,bnf]
-----
-include::example$BNF/custom_type.bnf[]
-----
-
-A custom type is a `string` that contains the name of Java class that
-extends the server side `AbstractType` class and that can be loaded by
-Cassandra (it should thus be in the `CLASSPATH` of every node running
-Cassandra). That class will define what values are valid for the type
-and how the time sorts when used for a clustering column. For any other
-purpose, a value of a custom type is the same than that of a `blob`, and
-can in particular be input using the `blob` literal syntax.

-= Conceptual Data Modeling
-
-First, let’s create a simple domain model that is easy to understand in
-the relational world, and then see how you might map it from a
-relational to a distributed hashtable model in Cassandra.
-
-Let's use an example that is complex enough to show the various data
-structures and design patterns, but not something that will bog you down
-with details. Also, a domain that’s familiar to everyone will allow you
-to concentrate on how to work with Cassandra, not on what the
-application domain is all about.
-
-For example, let's use a domain that is easily understood and that
-everyone can relate to: making hotel reservations.
-
-The conceptual domain includes hotels, guests that stay in the hotels, a
-collection of rooms for each hotel, the rates and availability of those
-rooms, and a record of reservations booked for guests. Hotels typically
-also maintain a collection of “points of interest,” which are parks,
-museums, shopping galleries, monuments, or other places near the hotel
-that guests might want to visit during their stay. Both hotels and
-points of interest need to maintain geolocation data so that they can be
-found on maps for mashups, and to calculate distances.
-
-The conceptual domain is depicted below using the entity–relationship
-model popularized by Peter Chen. This simple diagram represents the
-entities in the domain with rectangles, and attributes of those entities
-with ovals. Attributes that represent unique identifiers for items are
-underlined. Relationships between entities are represented as diamonds,
-and the connectors between the relationship and each entity show the
-multiplicity of the connection.
-
-image::data_modeling_hotel_erd.png[image]
-
-Obviously, in the real world, there would be many more considerations
-and much more complexity. For example, hotel rates are notoriously
-dynamic, and calculating them involves a wide array of factors. Here
-you’re defining something complex enough to be interesting and touch on
-the important points, but simple enough to maintain the focus on
-learning Cassandra.

-= Logical Data Modeling
-
-Now that you have defined your queries, you’re ready to begin designing
-Cassandra tables. First, create a logical model containing a table for
-each query, capturing entities and relationships from the conceptual
-model.
-
-To name each table, you’ll identify the primary entity type for which
-you are querying and use that to start the entity name. If you are
-querying by attributes of other related entities, append those to the
-table name, separated with `_by_`. For example, `hotels_by_poi`.
-
-Next, you identify the primary key for the table, adding partition key
-columns based on the required query attributes, and clustering columns
-in order to guarantee uniqueness and support desired sort ordering.
-
-The design of the primary key is extremely important, as it will
-determine how much data will be stored in each partition and how that
-data is organized on disk, which in turn will affect how quickly
-Cassandra processes reads.
-
-Complete each table by adding any additional attributes identified by
-the query. If any of these additional attributes are the same for every
-instance of the partition key, mark the column as static.
-
-Now that was a pretty quick description of a fairly involved process, so
-it will be worthwhile to work through a detailed example. First, let’s
-introduce a notation that you can use to represent logical models.
-
-Several individuals within the Cassandra community have proposed
-notations for capturing data models in diagrammatic form. This document
-uses a notation popularized by Artem Chebotko which provides a simple,
-informative way to visualize the relationships between queries and
-tables in your designs. This figure shows the Chebotko notation for a
-logical data model.
-
-image::data_modeling_chebotko_logical.png[image]
-
-Each table is shown with its title and a list of columns. Primary key
-columns are identified via symbols such as *K* for partition key columns
-and **C**↑ or **C**↓ to represent clustering columns. Lines are shown
-entering tables or between tables to indicate the queries that each
-table is designed to support.
-
-== Hotel Logical Data Model
-
-The figure below shows a Chebotko logical data model for the queries
-involving hotels, points of interest, rooms, and amenities. One thing
-you'll notice immediately is that the Cassandra design doesn’t include
-dedicated tables for rooms or amenities, as you had in the relational
-design. This is because the workflow didn’t identify any queries
-requiring this direct access.
-
-image::data_modeling_hotel_logical.png[image]
-
-Let’s explore the details of each of these tables.
-
-The first query Q1 is to find hotels near a point of interest, so you’ll
-call this table `hotels_by_poi`. Searching by a named point of interest
-is a clue that the point of interest should be a part of the primary
-key. Let’s reference the point of interest by name, because according to
-the workflow that is how users will start their search.
-
-You’ll note that you certainly could have more than one hotel near a
-given point of interest, so you’ll need another component in the primary
-key in order to make sure you have a unique partition for each hotel. So
-you add the hotel key as a clustering column.
-
-An important consideration in designing your table’s primary key is
-making sure that it defines a unique data element. Otherwise you run the
-risk of accidentally overwriting data.
-
-Now for the second query (Q2), you’ll need a table to get information
-about a specific hotel. One approach would have been to put all of the
-attributes of a hotel in the `hotels_by_poi` table, but you added only
-those attributes that were required by the application workflow.
-
-From the workflow diagram, you know that the `hotels_by_poi` table is
-used to display a list of hotels with basic information on each hotel,
-and the application knows the unique identifiers of the hotels returned.
-When the user selects a hotel to view details, you can then use Q2,
-which is used to obtain details about the hotel. Because you already
-have the `hotel_id` from Q1, you use that as a reference to the hotel
-you’re looking for. Therefore the second table is just called `hotels`.
-
-Another option would have been to store a set of `poi_names` in the
-hotels table. This is an equally valid approach. You’ll learn through
-experience which approach is best for your application.
-
-Q3 is just a reverse of Q1—looking for points of interest near a hotel,
-rather than hotels near a point of interest. This time, however, you
-need to access the details of each point of interest, as represented by
-the `pois_by_hotel` table. As previously, you add the point of interest
-name as a clustering key to guarantee uniqueness.
-
-At this point, let’s now consider how to support query Q4 to help the
-user find available rooms at a selected hotel for the nights they are
-interested in staying. Note that this query involves both a start date
-and an end date. Because you’re querying over a range instead of a
-single date, you know that you’ll need to use the date as a clustering
-key. Use the `hotel_id` as a primary key to group room data for each
-hotel on a single partition, which should help searches be super fast.
-Let’s call this the `available_rooms_by_hotel_date` table.
-
-To support searching over a range, use `clustering columns
-<clustering-columns>` to store attributes that you need to access in a
-range query. Remember that the order of the clustering columns is
-important.
-
-The design of the `available_rooms_by_hotel_date` table is an instance
-of the *wide partition* pattern. This pattern is sometimes called the
-*wide row* pattern when discussing databases that support similar
-models, but wide partition is a more accurate description from a
-Cassandra perspective. The essence of the pattern is to group multiple
-related rows in a partition in order to support fast access to multiple
-rows within the partition in a single query.
-
-In order to round out the shopping portion of the data model, add the
-`amenities_by_room` table to support Q5. This will allow users to view
-the amenities of one of the rooms that is available for the desired stay
-dates.
-
-== Reservation Logical Data Model
-
-Now let's switch gears to look at the reservation queries. The figure
-shows a logical data model for reservations. You’ll notice that these
-tables represent a denormalized design; the same data appears in
-multiple tables, with differing keys.
-
-image::data_modeling_reservation_logical.png[image]
-
-In order to satisfy Q6, the `reservations_by_guest` table can be used to
-look up the reservation by guest name. You could envision query Q7 being
-used on behalf of a guest on a self-serve website or a call center agent
-trying to assist the guest. Because the guest name might not be unique,
-you include the guest ID here as a clustering column as well.
-
-Q8 and Q9 in particular help to remind you to create queries that
-support various stakeholders of the application, not just customers but
-staff as well, and perhaps even the analytics team, suppliers, and so
-on.
-
-The hotel staff might wish to see a record of upcoming reservations by
-date in order to get insight into how the hotel is performing, such as
-what dates the hotel is sold out or undersold. Q8 supports the retrieval
-of reservations for a given hotel by date.
-
-Finally, you create a `guests` table. This provides a single location
-that used to store guest information. In this case, you specify a
-separate unique identifier for guest records, as it is not uncommon for
-guests to have the same name. In many organizations, a customer database
-such as the `guests` table would be part of a separate customer
-management application, which is why other guest access patterns were
-omitted from the example.
-
-== Patterns and Anti-Patterns
-
-As with other types of software design, there are some well-known
-patterns and anti-patterns for data modeling in Cassandra. You’ve
-already used one of the most common patterns in this hotel model—the
-wide partition pattern.
-
-The *time series* pattern is an extension of the wide partition pattern.
-In this pattern, a series of measurements at specific time intervals are
-stored in a wide partition, where the measurement time is used as part
-of the partition key. This pattern is frequently used in domains
-including business analysis, sensor data management, and scientific
-experiments.
-
-The time series pattern is also useful for data other than measurements.
-Consider the example of a banking application. You could store each
-customer’s balance in a row, but that might lead to a lot of read and
-write contention as various customers check their balance or make
-transactions. You’d probably be tempted to wrap a transaction around
-writes just to protect the balance from being updated in error. In
-contrast, a time series–style design would store each transaction as a
-timestamped row and leave the work of calculating the current balance to
-the application.
-
-One design trap that many new users fall into is attempting to use
-Cassandra as a queue. Each item in the queue is stored with a timestamp
-in a wide partition. Items are appended to the end of the queue and read
-from the front, being deleted after they are read. This is a design that
-seems attractive, especially given its apparent similarity to the time
-series pattern. The problem with this approach is that the deleted items
-are now `tombstones <asynch-deletes>` that Cassandra must scan past in
-order to read from the front of the queue. Over time, a growing number
-of tombstones begins to degrade read performance.
-
-The queue anti-pattern serves as a reminder that any design that relies
-on the deletion of data is potentially a poorly performing design.

-= Physical Data Modeling
-
-Once you have a logical data model defined, creating the physical model
-is a relatively simple process.
-
-You walk through each of the logical model tables, assigning types to
-each item. You can use any valid `CQL data type <data-types>`, including
-the basic types, collections, and user-defined types. You may identify
-additional user-defined types that can be created to simplify your
-design.
-
-After you’ve assigned data types, you analyze the model by performing
-size calculations and testing out how the model works. You may make some
-adjustments based on your findings. Once again let's cover the data
-modeling process in more detail by working through an example.
-
-Before getting started, let’s look at a few additions to the Chebotko
-notation for physical data models. To draw physical models, you need to
-be able to add the typing information for each column. This figure shows
-the addition of a type for each column in a sample table.
-
-image::data_modeling_chebotko_physical.png[image]
-
-The figure includes a designation of the keyspace containing each table
-and visual cues for columns represented using collections and
-user-defined types. Note the designation of static columns and secondary
-index columns. There is no restriction on assigning these as part of a
-logical model, but they are typically more of a physical data modeling
-concern.
-
-== Hotel Physical Data Model
-
-Now let’s get to work on the physical model. First, you need keyspaces
-to contain the tables. To keep the design relatively simple, create a
-`hotel` keyspace to contain tables for hotel and availability data, and
-a `reservation` keyspace to contain tables for reservation and guest
-data. In a real system, you might divide the tables across even more
-keyspaces in order to separate concerns.
-
-For the `hotels` table, use Cassandra’s `text` type to represent the
-hotel’s `id`. For the address, create an `address` user defined type.
-Use the `text` type to represent the phone number, as there is
-considerable variance in the formatting of numbers between countries.
-
-While it would make sense to use the `uuid` type for attributes such as
-the `hotel_id`, this document uses mostly `text` attributes as
-identifiers, to keep the samples simple and readable. For example, a
-common convention in the hospitality industry is to reference properties
-by short codes like "AZ123" or "NY229". This example uses these values
-for `hotel_ids`, while acknowledging they are not necessarily globally
-unique.
-
-You’ll find that it’s often helpful to use unique IDs to uniquely
-reference elements, and to use these `uuids` as references in tables
-representing other entities. This helps to minimize coupling between
-different entity types. This may prove especially effective if you are
-using a microservice architectural style for your application, in which
-there are separate services responsible for each entity type.
-
-As you work to create physical representations of various tables in the
-logical hotel data model, you use the same approach. The resulting
-design is shown in this figure:
-
-image::data_modeling_hotel_physical.png[image]
-
-Note that the `address` type is also included in the design. It is
-designated with an asterisk to denote that it is a user-defined type,
-and has no primary key columns identified. This type is used in the
-`hotels` and `hotels_by_poi` tables.
-
-User-defined types are frequently used to help reduce duplication of
-non-primary key columns, as was done with the `address` user-defined
-type. This can reduce complexity in the design.
-
-Remember that the scope of a UDT is the keyspace in which it is defined.
-To use `address` in the `reservation` keyspace defined below design,
-you’ll have to declare it again. This is just one of the many trade-offs
-you have to make in data model design.
-
-== Reservation Physical Data Model
-
-Now, let’s examine reservation tables in the design. Remember that the
-logical model contained three denormalized tables to support queries for
-reservations by confirmation number, guest, and hotel and date. For the
-first iteration of your physical data model design, assume you're going
-to manage this denormalization manually. Note that this design could be
-revised to use Cassandra’s (experimental) materialized view feature.
-
-image::data_modeling_reservation_physical.png[image]
-
-Note that the `address` type is reproduced in this keyspace and
-`guest_id` is modeled as a `uuid` type in all of the tables.

-= Defining Application Queries
-
-Let’s try the query-first approach to start designing the data model for
-a hotel application. The user interface design for the application is
-often a great artifact to use to begin identifying queries. Let’s assume
-that you’ve talked with the project stakeholders and your UX designers
-have produced user interface designs or wireframes for the key use
-cases. You’ll likely have a list of shopping queries like the following:
-
-* Q1. Find hotels near a given point of interest.
-* Q2. Find information about a given hotel, such as its name and
-location.
-* Q3. Find points of interest near a given hotel.
-* Q4. Find an available room in a given date range.
-* Q5. Find the rate and amenities for a room.
-
-It is often helpful to be able to refer to queries by a shorthand number
-rather that explaining them in full. The queries listed here are
-numbered Q1, Q2, and so on, which is how they are referenced in diagrams
-throughout the example.
-
-Now if the application is to be a success, you’ll certainly want
-customers to be able to book reservations at hotels. This includes steps
-such as selecting an available room and entering their guest
-information. So clearly you will also need some queries that address the
-reservation and guest entities from the conceptual data model. Even
-here, however, you’ll want to think not only from the customer
-perspective in terms of how the data is written, but also in terms of
-how the data will be queried by downstream use cases.
-
-Your natural tendency might be to focus first on designing the tables
-to store reservation and guest records, and only then start thinking
-about the queries that would access them. You may have felt a similar
-tension already when discussing the shopping queries before, thinking
-“but where did the hotel and point of interest data come from?” Don’t
-worry, you will see soon enough. Here are some queries that describe how
-users will access reservations:
-
-* Q6. Lookup a reservation by confirmation number.
-* Q7. Lookup a reservation by hotel, date, and guest name.
-* Q8. Lookup all reservations by guest name.
-* Q9. View guest details.
-
-All of the queries are shown in the context of the workflow of the
-application in the figure below. Each box on the diagram represents a
-step in the application workflow, with arrows indicating the flows
-between steps and the associated query. If you’ve modeled the
-application well, each step of the workflow accomplishes a task that
-“unlocks” subsequent steps. For example, the “View hotels near POI” task
-helps the application learn about several hotels, including their unique
-keys. The key for a selected hotel may be used as part of Q2, in order
-to obtain detailed description of the hotel. The act of booking a room
-creates a reservation record that may be accessed by the guest and hotel
-staff at a later time through various additional queries.

-= RDBMS Design
-
-When you set out to build a new data-driven application that will use a
-relational database, you might start by modeling the domain as a set of
-properly normalized tables and use foreign keys to reference related
-data in other tables.
-
-The figure below shows how you might represent the data storage for your
-application using a relational database model. The relational model
-includes a couple of “join” tables in order to realize the many-to-many
-relationships from the conceptual model of hotels-to-points of interest,
-rooms-to-amenities, rooms-to-availability, and guests-to-rooms (via a
-reservation).
-
-image::data_modeling_hotel_relational.png[image]
-
-== Design Differences Between RDBMS and Cassandra
-
-Let’s take a minute to highlight some of the key differences in doing
-data modeling for Cassandra versus a relational database.
-
-=== No joins
-
-You cannot perform joins in Cassandra. If you have designed a data model
-and find that you need something like a join, you’ll have to either do
-the work on the client side, or create a denormalized second table that
-represents the join results for you. This latter option is preferred in
-Cassandra data modeling. Performing joins on the client should be a very
-rare case; you really want to duplicate (denormalize) the data instead.
-
-=== No referential integrity
-
-Although Cassandra supports features such as lightweight transactions
-and batches, Cassandra itself has no concept of referential integrity
-across tables. In a relational database, you could specify foreign keys
-in a table to reference the primary key of a record in another table.
-But Cassandra does not enforce this. It is still a common design
-requirement to store IDs related to other entities in your tables, but
-operations such as cascading deletes are not available.
-
-=== Denormalization
-
-In relational database design, you are often taught the importance of
-normalization. This is not an advantage when working with Cassandra
-because it performs best when the data model is denormalized. It is
-often the case that companies end up denormalizing data in relational
-databases as well. There are two common reasons for this. One is
-performance. Companies simply can’t get the performance they need when
-they have to do so many joins on years’ worth of data, so they
-denormalize along the lines of known queries. This ends up working, but
-goes against the grain of how relational databases are intended to be
-designed, and ultimately makes one question whether using a relational
-database is the best approach in these circumstances.
-
-A second reason that relational databases get denormalized on purpose is
-a business document structure that requires retention. That is, you have
-an enclosing table that refers to a lot of external tables whose data
-could change over time, but you need to preserve the enclosing document
-as a snapshot in history. The common example here is with invoices. You
-already have customer and product tables, and you’d think that you could
-just make an invoice that refers to those tables. But this should never
-be done in practice. Customer or price information could change, and
-then you would lose the integrity of the invoice document as it was on
-the invoice date, which could violate audits, reports, or laws, and
-cause other problems.
-
-In the relational world, denormalization violates Codd’s normal forms,
-and you try to avoid it. But in Cassandra, denormalization is, well,
-perfectly normal. It’s not required if your data model is simple. But
-don’t be afraid of it.
-
-Historically, denormalization in Cassandra has required designing and
-managing multiple tables using techniques described in this
-documentation. Beginning with the 3.0 release, Cassandra provides a
-feature known as `materialized views <materialized-views>` which allows
-you to create multiple denormalized views of data based on a base table
-design. Cassandra manages materialized views on the server, including
-the work of keeping the views in sync with the table.
-
-=== Query-first design
-
-Relational modeling, in simple terms, means that you start from the
-conceptual domain and then represent the nouns in the domain in tables.
-You then assign primary keys and foreign keys to model relationships.
-When you have a many-to-many relationship, you create the join tables
-that represent just those keys. The join tables don’t exist in the real
-world, and are a necessary side effect of the way relational models
-work. After you have all your tables laid out, you can start writing
-queries that pull together disparate data using the relationships
-defined by the keys. The queries in the relational world are very much
-secondary. It is assumed that you can always get the data you want as
-long as you have your tables modeled properly. Even if you have to use
-several complex subqueries or join statements, this is usually true.
-
-By contrast, in Cassandra you don’t start with the data model; you start
-with the query model. Instead of modeling the data first and then
-writing queries, with Cassandra you model the queries and let the data
-be organized around them. Think of the most common query paths your
-application will use, and then create the tables that you need to
-support them.
-
-Detractors have suggested that designing the queries first is overly
-constraining on application design, not to mention database modeling.
-But it is perfectly reasonable to expect that you should think hard
-about the queries in your application, just as you would, presumably,
-think hard about your relational domain. You may get it wrong, and then
-you’ll have problems in either world. Or your query needs might change
-over time, and then you’ll have to work to update your data set. But
-this is no different from defining the wrong tables, or needing
-additional tables, in an RDBMS.
-
-=== Designing for optimal storage
-
-In a relational database, it is frequently transparent to the user how
-tables are stored on disk, and it is rare to hear of recommendations
-about data modeling based on how the RDBMS might store tables on disk.
-However, that is an important consideration in Cassandra. Because
-Cassandra tables are each stored in separate files on disk, it’s
-important to keep related columns defined together in the same table.
-
-A key goal that you will see as you begin creating data models in
-Cassandra is to minimize the number of partitions that must be searched
-in order to satisfy a given query. Because the partition is a unit of
-storage that does not get divided across nodes, a query that searches a
-single partition will typically yield the best performance.
-
-=== Sorting is a design decision
-
-In an RDBMS, you can easily change the order in which records are
-returned to you by using `ORDER BY` in your query. The default sort
-order is not configurable; by default, records are returned in the order
-in which they are written. If you want to change the order, you just
-modify your query, and you can sort by any list of columns.
-
-In Cassandra, however, sorting is treated differently; it is a design
-decision. The sort order available on queries is fixed, and is
-determined entirely by the selection of clustering columns you supply in
-the `CREATE TABLE` command. The CQL `SELECT` statement does support
-`ORDER BY` semantics, but only in the order specified by the clustering
-columns.

-= Evaluating and Refining Data Models
-:stem: latexmath
-
-Once you’ve created a physical model, there are some steps you’ll want
-to take to evaluate and refine table designs to help ensure optimal
-performance.
-
-== Calculating Partition Size
-
-The first thing that you want to look for is whether your tables will
-have partitions that will be overly large, or to put it another way, too
-wide. Partition size is measured by the number of cells (values) that
-are stored in the partition. Cassandra’s hard limit is 2 billion cells
-per partition, but you’ll likely run into performance issues before
-reaching that limit.
-
-In order to calculate the size of partitions, use the following formula:
-
-[latexmath]
-++++
-\[N_v = N_r (N_c - N_{pk} - N_s) + N_s\]
-++++
-
-The number of values (or cells) in the partition (N~v~) is equal to the
-number of static columns (N~s~) plus the product of the number of rows
-(N~r~) and the number of of values per row. The number of values per row
-is defined as the number of columns (N~c~) minus the number of primary
-key columns (N~pk~) and static columns (N~s~).
-
-The number of columns tends to be relatively static, although it is
-possible to alter tables at runtime. For this reason, a primary driver
-of partition size is the number of rows in the partition. This is a key
-factor that you must consider in determining whether a partition has the
-potential to get too large. Two billion values sounds like a lot, but in
-a sensor system where tens or hundreds of values are measured every
-millisecond, the number of values starts to add up pretty fast.
-
-Let’s take a look at one of the tables to analyze the partition size.
-Because it has a wide partition design with one partition per hotel,
-look at the `available_rooms_by_hotel_date` table. The table has four
-columns total (N~c~ = 4), including three primary key columns (N~pk~ =
-3) and no static columns (N~s~ = 0). Plugging these values into the
-formula, the result is:
-
-[latexmath]
-++++
-\[N_v = N_r (4 - 3 - 0) + 0 = 1N_r\]
-++++
-
-Therefore the number of values for this table is equal to the number of
-rows. You still need to determine a number of rows. To do this, make
-estimates based on the application design. The table is storing a record
-for each room, in each of hotel, for every night. Let's assume the
-system will be used to store two years of inventory at a time, and there
-are 5,000 hotels in the system, with an average of 100 rooms in each
-hotel.
-
-Since there is a partition for each hotel, the estimated number of rows
-per partition is as follows:
-
-[latexmath]
-++++
-\[N_r = 100 rooms/hotel \times 730 days = 73,000 rows\]
-++++
-
-This relatively small number of rows per partition is not going to get
-you in too much trouble, but if you start storing more dates of
-inventory, or don’t manage the size of the inventory well using TTL, you
-could start having issues. You still might want to look at breaking up
-this large partition, which you'll see how to do shortly.
-
-When performing sizing calculations, it is tempting to assume the
-nominal or average case for variables such as the number of rows.
-Consider calculating the worst case as well, as these sorts of
-predictions have a way of coming true in successful systems.
-
-== Calculating Size on Disk
-
-In addition to calculating the size of a partition, it is also an
-excellent idea to estimate the amount of disk space that will be
-required for each table you plan to store in the cluster. In order to
-determine the size, use the following formula to determine the size S~t~
-of a partition:
-
-[latexmath]
-++++
-\[S_t = \displaystyle\sum_i sizeOf\big (c_{k_i}\big) + \displaystyle\sum_j sizeOf\big(c_{s_j}\big) + N_r\times \bigg(\displaystyle\sum_k sizeOf\big(c_{r_k}\big) + \displaystyle\sum_l sizeOf\big(c_{c_l}\big)\bigg) +\]
-++++
-
-[latexmath]
-++++
-\[N_v\times sizeOf\big(t_{avg}\big)\]
-++++
-
-This is a bit more complex than the previous formula, but let's break it
-down a bit at a time. Let’s take a look at the notation first:
-
-* In this formula, c~k~ refers to partition key columns, c~s~ to static
-columns, c~r~ to regular columns, and c~c~ to clustering columns.
-* The term t~avg~ refers to the average number of bytes of metadata
-stored per cell, such as timestamps. It is typical to use an estimate of
-8 bytes for this value.
-* You'll recognize the number of rows N~r~ and number of values N~v~
-from previous calculations.
-* The *sizeOf()* function refers to the size in bytes of the CQL data
-type of each referenced column.
-
-The first term asks you to sum the size of the partition key columns.
-For this example, the `available_rooms_by_hotel_date` table has a single
-partition key column, the `hotel_id`, which is of type `text`. Assuming
-that hotel identifiers are simple 5-character codes, you have a 5-byte
-value, so the sum of the partition key column sizes is 5 bytes.
-
-The second term asks you to sum the size of the static columns. This
-table has no static columns, so the size is 0 bytes.
-
-The third term is the most involved, and for good reason—it is
-calculating the size of the cells in the partition. Sum the size of the
-clustering columns and regular columns. The two clustering columns are
-the `date`, which is 4 bytes, and the `room_number`, which is a 2-byte
-short integer, giving a sum of 6 bytes. There is only a single regular
-column, the boolean `is_available`, which is 1 byte in size. Summing the
-regular column size (1 byte) plus the clustering column size (6 bytes)
-gives a total of 7 bytes. To finish up the term, multiply this value by
-the number of rows (73,000), giving a result of 511,000 bytes (0.51 MB).
-
-The fourth term is simply counting the metadata that that Cassandra
-stores for each cell. In the storage format used by Cassandra 3.0 and
-later, the amount of metadata for a given cell varies based on the type
-of data being stored, and whether or not custom timestamp or TTL values
-are specified for individual cells. For this table, reuse the number of
-values from the previous calculation (73,000) and multiply by 8, which
-gives 0.58 MB.
-
-Adding these terms together, you get a final estimate:
-
-[latexmath]
-++++
-\[Partition size = 16 bytes + 0 bytes + 0.51 MB + 0.58 MB = 1.1 MB\]
-++++
-
-This formula is an approximation of the actual size of a partition on
-disk, but is accurate enough to be quite useful. Remembering that the
-partition must be able to fit on a single node, it looks like the table
-design will not put a lot of strain on disk storage.
-
-Cassandra’s storage engine was re-implemented for the 3.0 release,
-including a new format for SSTable files. The previous format stored a
-separate copy of the clustering columns as part of the record for each
-cell. The newer format eliminates this duplication, which reduces the
-size of stored data and simplifies the formula for computing that size.
-
-Keep in mind also that this estimate only counts a single replica of
-data. You will need to multiply the value obtained here by the number of
-partitions and the number of replicas specified by the keyspace’s
-replication strategy in order to determine the total required total
-capacity for each table. This will come in handy when you plan your
-cluster.
-
-== Breaking Up Large Partitions
-
-As discussed previously, the goal is to design tables that can provide
-the data you need with queries that touch a single partition, or failing
-that, the minimum possible number of partitions. However, as shown in
-the examples, it is quite possible to design wide partition-style tables
-that approach Cassandra’s built-in limits. Performing sizing analysis on
-tables may reveal partitions that are potentially too large, either in
-number of values, size on disk, or both.
-
-The technique for splitting a large partition is straightforward: add an
-additional column to the partition key. In most cases, moving one of the
-existing columns into the partition key will be sufficient. Another
-option is to introduce an additional column to the table to act as a
-sharding key, but this requires additional application logic.
-
-Continuing to examine the available rooms example, if you add the `date`
-column to the partition key for the `available_rooms_by_hotel_date`
-table, each partition would then represent the availability of rooms at
-a specific hotel on a specific date. This will certainly yield
-partitions that are significantly smaller, perhaps too small, as the
-data for consecutive days will likely be on separate nodes.
-
-Another technique known as *bucketing* is often used to break the data
-into moderate-size partitions. For example, you could bucketize the
-`available_rooms_by_hotel_date` table by adding a `month` column to the
-partition key, perhaps represented as an integer. The comparision with
-the original design is shown in the figure below. While the `month`
-column is partially duplicative of the `date`, it provides a nice way of
-grouping related data in a partition that will not get too large.
-
-image::data_modeling_hotel_bucketing.png[image]
-
-If you really felt strongly about preserving a wide partition design,
-you could instead add the `room_id` to the partition key, so that each
-partition would represent the availability of the room across all dates.
-Because there was no query identified that involves searching
-availability of a specific room, the first or second design approach is
-most suitable to the application needs.

-= Defining Database Schema
-
-Once you have finished evaluating and refining the physical model,
-you’re ready to implement the schema in CQL. Here is the schema for the
-`hotel` keyspace, using CQL’s comment feature to document the query
-pattern supported by each table:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-CREATE KEYSPACE hotel WITH replication =
-  {‘class’: ‘SimpleStrategy’, ‘replication_factor’ : 3};
-
-CREATE TYPE hotel.address (
-  street text,
-  city text,
-  state_or_province text,
-  postal_code text,
-  country text );
-
-CREATE TABLE hotel.hotels_by_poi (
-  poi_name text,
-  hotel_id text,
-  name text,
-  phone text,
-  address frozen<address>,
-  PRIMARY KEY ((poi_name), hotel_id) )
-  WITH comment = ‘Q1. Find hotels near given poi’
-  AND CLUSTERING ORDER BY (hotel_id ASC) ;
-
-CREATE TABLE hotel.hotels (
-  id text PRIMARY KEY,
-  name text,
-  phone text,
-  address frozen<address>,
-  pois set )
-  WITH comment = ‘Q2. Find information about a hotel’;
-
-CREATE TABLE hotel.pois_by_hotel (
-  poi_name text,
-  hotel_id text,
-  description text,
-  PRIMARY KEY ((hotel_id), poi_name) )
-  WITH comment = Q3. Find pois near a hotel’;
-
-CREATE TABLE hotel.available_rooms_by_hotel_date (
-  hotel_id text,
-  date date,
-  room_number smallint,
-  is_available boolean,
-  PRIMARY KEY ((hotel_id), date, room_number) )
-  WITH comment = ‘Q4. Find available rooms by hotel date’;
-
-CREATE TABLE hotel.amenities_by_room (
-  hotel_id text,
-  room_number smallint,
-  amenity_name text,
-  description text,
-  PRIMARY KEY ((hotel_id, room_number), amenity_name) )
-  WITH comment = ‘Q5. Find amenities for a room’;
-----
-
-Notice that the elements of the partition key are surrounded with
-parentheses, even though the partition key consists of the single column
-`poi_name`. This is a best practice that makes the selection of
-partition key more explicit to others reading your CQL.
-
-Similarly, here is the schema for the `reservation` keyspace:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-CREATE KEYSPACE reservation WITH replication = {‘class’:
-  ‘SimpleStrategy’, ‘replication_factor’ : 3};
-
-CREATE TYPE reservation.address (
-  street text,
-  city text,
-  state_or_province text,
-  postal_code text,
-  country text );
-
-CREATE TABLE reservation.reservations_by_confirmation (
-  confirm_number text,
-  hotel_id text,
-  start_date date,
-  end_date date,
-  room_number smallint,
-  guest_id uuid,
-  PRIMARY KEY (confirm_number) )
-  WITH comment = ‘Q6. Find reservations by confirmation number’;
-
-CREATE TABLE reservation.reservations_by_hotel_date (
-  hotel_id text,
-  start_date date,
-  end_date date,
-  room_number smallint,
-  confirm_number text,
-  guest_id uuid,
-  PRIMARY KEY ((hotel_id, start_date), room_number) )
-  WITH comment = ‘Q7. Find reservations by hotel and date’;
-
-CREATE TABLE reservation.reservations_by_guest (
-  guest_last_name text,
-  hotel_id text,
-  start_date date,
-  end_date date,
-  room_number smallint,
-  confirm_number text,
-  guest_id uuid,
-  PRIMARY KEY ((guest_last_name), hotel_id) )
-  WITH comment = ‘Q8. Find reservations by guest name’;
-
-CREATE TABLE reservation.guests (
-  guest_id uuid PRIMARY KEY,
-  first_name text,
-  last_name text,
-  title text,
-  emails set,
-  phone_numbers list,
-  addresses map<text,
-  frozen<address>,
-  confirm_number text )
-  WITH comment = ‘Q9. Find guest by ID’;
-----
-
-You now have a complete Cassandra schema for storing data for a hotel
-application.

-= Cassandra Data Modeling Tools
-
-There are several tools available to help you design and manage your
-Cassandra schema and build queries.
-
-* https://hackolade.com/nosqldb.html#cassandra[Hackolade] is a data
-modeling tool that supports schema design for Cassandra and many other
-NoSQL databases. Hackolade supports the unique concepts of CQL such as
-partition keys and clustering columns, as well as data types including
-collections and UDTs. It also provides the ability to create Chebotko
-diagrams.
-* http://kdm.dataview.org/[Kashlev Data Modeler] is a Cassandra data
-modeling tool that automates the data modeling methodology described in
-this documentation, including identifying access patterns, conceptual,
-logical, and physical data modeling, and schema generation. It also
-includes model patterns that you can optionally leverage as a starting
-point for your designs.
-* DataStax DevCenter is a tool for managing schema, executing queries
-and viewing results. While the tool is no longer actively supported, it
-is still popular with many developers and is available as a
-https://academy.datastax.com/downloads[free download]. DevCenter
-features syntax highlighting for CQL commands, types, and name literals.
-DevCenter provides command completion as you type out CQL commands and
-interprets the commands you type, highlighting any errors you make. The
-tool provides panes for managing multiple CQL scripts and connections to
-multiple clusters. The connections are used to run CQL commands against
-live clusters and view the results. The tool also has a query trace
-feature that is useful for gaining insight into the performance of your
-queries.
-* IDE Plugins - There are CQL plugins available for several Integrated
-Development Environments (IDEs), such as IntelliJ IDEA and Apache
-NetBeans. These plugins typically provide features such as schema
-management and query execution.
-
-Some IDEs and tools that claim to support Cassandra do not actually
-support CQL natively, but instead access Cassandra using a JDBC/ODBC
-driver and interact with Cassandra as if it were a relational database
-with SQL support. Wnen selecting tools for working with Cassandra you’ll
-want to make sure they support CQL and reinforce Cassandra best
-practices for data modeling as presented in this documentation.

+== 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.

+= Changes
+
+The following describes the changes in each version of CQL.
+
+== 3.4.7
+
+* Remove deprecated functions `dateOf` and `unixTimestampOf`, replaced by `toTimestamp` and `toUnixTimestamp` (`18328`)
+* Added support for attaching masking functions to table columns (`18068`)
+* Add UNMASK permission (`18069`)
+* Add SELECT_MASKED permission (`18070`)
+* Add support for using UDFs as masking functions (`18071`)
+* Adopt snake_case function names, deprecating all previous camelCase or alltogetherwithoutspaces function names (`18037`)
+
+== 3.4.6
+
+* Add support for IF EXISTS and IF NOT EXISTS in ALTER statements  (`16916`)
+* Allow GRANT/REVOKE multiple permissions in a single statement (`17030`)
+* Pre hashed passwords in CQL (`17334`)
+* Add support for type casting in WHERE clause components and in the values of INSERT/UPDATE statements (`14337`)
+* Add support for CONTAINS and CONTAINS KEY in conditional UPDATE and DELETE statement (`10537`)
+* Allow to grant permission for all tables in a keyspace (`17027`)
+* Allow to aggregate by time intervals (`11871`)
+
+== 3.4.5
+
+* Adds support for arithmetic operators (`11935`)
+* Adds support for `+` and `-` operations on dates (`11936`)
+* Adds `currentTimestamp`, `currentDate`, `currentTime` and
+`currentTimeUUID` functions (`13132`)
+
+== 3.4.4
+
+* `ALTER TABLE` `ALTER` has been removed; a column's type may not be
+changed after creation (`12443`).
+* `ALTER TYPE` `ALTER` has been removed; a field's type may not be
+changed after creation (`12443`).
+
+== 3.4.3
+
+* Adds a new `duration` `data types <data-types>` (`11873`).
+* Support for `GROUP BY` (`10707`).
+* Adds a `DEFAULT UNSET` option for `INSERT JSON` to ignore omitted
+columns (`11424`).
+* Allows `null` as a legal value for TTL on insert and update. It will
+be treated as equivalent to inserting a 0 (`12216`).
+
+== 3.4.2
+
+* If a table has a non zero `default_time_to_live`, then explicitly
+specifying a TTL of 0 in an `INSERT` or `UPDATE` statement will result
+in the new writes not having any expiration (that is, an explicit TTL of
+0 cancels the `default_time_to_live`). This wasn't the case before and
+the `default_time_to_live` was applied even though a TTL had been
+explicitly set.
+* `ALTER TABLE` `ADD` and `DROP` now allow multiple columns to be
+added/removed.
+* New `PER PARTITION LIMIT` option for `SELECT` statements (see
+https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7017)[CASSANDRA-7017].
+* `User-defined functions <cql-functions>` can now instantiate
+`UDTValue` and `TupleValue` instances via the new `UDFContext` interface
+(see
+https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10818)[CASSANDRA-10818].
+* `User-defined types <udts>` may now be stored in a non-frozen form,
+allowing individual fields to be updated and deleted in `UPDATE`
+statements and `DELETE` statements, respectively.
+(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7423)[CASSANDRA-7423]).
+
+== 3.4.1
+
+* Adds `CAST` functions.
+
+== 3.4.0
+
+* Support for `materialized views <materialized-views>`.
+* `DELETE` support for inequality expressions and `IN` restrictions on
+any primary key columns.
+* `UPDATE` support for `IN` restrictions on any primary key columns.
+
+== 3.3.1
+
+* The syntax `TRUNCATE TABLE X` is now accepted as an alias for
+`TRUNCATE X`.
+
+== 3.3.0
+
+* `User-defined functions and aggregates <cql-functions>` are now
+supported.
+* Allows double-dollar enclosed strings literals as an alternative to
+single-quote enclosed strings.
+* Introduces Roles to supersede user based authentication and access
+control
+* New `date`, `time`, `tinyint` and `smallint` `data types <data-types>`
+have been added.
+* `JSON support <cql-json>` has been added
+* Adds new time conversion functions and deprecate `dateOf` and
+`unixTimestampOf`.
+
+== 3.2.0
+
+* `User-defined types <udts>` supported.
+* `CREATE INDEX` now supports indexing collection columns, including
+indexing the keys of map collections through the `keys()` function
+* Indexes on collections may be queried using the new `CONTAINS` and
+`CONTAINS KEY` operators
+* `Tuple types <tuples>` were added to hold fixed-length sets of typed
+positional fields.
+* `DROP INDEX` now supports optionally specifying a keyspace.
+
+== 3.1.7
+
+* `SELECT` statements now support selecting multiple rows in a single
+partition using an `IN` clause on combinations of clustering columns.
+* `IF NOT EXISTS` and `IF EXISTS` syntax is now supported by
+`CREATE USER` and `DROP USER` statements, respectively.
+
+== 3.1.6
+
+* A new `uuid()` method has been added.
+* Support for `DELETE ... IF EXISTS` syntax.
+
+== 3.1.5
+
+* It is now possible to group clustering columns in a relation, see
+`WHERE <where-clause>` clauses.
+* Added support for `static columns <static-columns>`.
+
+== 3.1.4
+
+* `CREATE INDEX` now allows specifying options when creating CUSTOM
+indexes.
+
+== 3.1.3
+
+* Millisecond precision formats have been added to the
+`timestamp <timestamps>` parser.
+
+== 3.1.2
+
+* `NaN` and `Infinity` has been added as valid float constants. They are
+now reserved keywords. In the unlikely case you we using them as a
+column identifier (or keyspace/table one), you will now need to double
+quote them.
+
+== 3.1.1
+
+* `SELECT` statement now allows listing the partition keys (using the
+`DISTINCT` modifier). See
+https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4536[CASSANDRA-4536].
+* The syntax `c IN ?` is now supported in `WHERE` clauses. In that case,
+the value expected for the bind variable will be a list of whatever type
+`c` is.
+* It is now possible to use named bind variables (using `:name` instead
+of `?`).
+
+== 3.1.0
+
+* `ALTER TABLE` `DROP` option added.
+* `SELECT` statement now supports aliases in select clause. Aliases in
+WHERE and ORDER BY clauses are not supported.
+* `CREATE` statements for `KEYSPACE`, `TABLE` and `INDEX` now supports
+an `IF NOT EXISTS` condition. Similarly, `DROP` statements support a
+`IF EXISTS` condition.
+* `INSERT` statements optionally supports a `IF NOT EXISTS` condition
+and `UPDATE` supports `IF` conditions.
+
+== 3.0.5
+
+* `SELECT`, `UPDATE`, and `DELETE` statements now allow empty `IN`
+relations (see
+https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5626)[CASSANDRA-5626].
+
+== 3.0.4
+
+* Updated the syntax for custom `secondary indexes <secondary-indexes>`.
+* Non-equal condition on the partition key are now never supported, even
+for ordering partitioner as this was not correct (the order was *not*
+the one of the type of the partition key). Instead, the `token` method
+should always be used for range queries on the partition key (see
+`WHERE clauses <where-clause>`).
+
+== 3.0.3
+
+* Support for custom `secondary indexes <secondary-indexes>` has been
+added.
+
+== 3.0.2
+
+* Type validation for the `constants <constants>` has been fixed. For
+instance, the implementation used to allow `'2'` as a valid value for an
+`int` column (interpreting it has the equivalent of `2`), or `42` as a
+valid `blob` value (in which case `42` was interpreted as an hexadecimal
+representation of the blob). This is no longer the case, type validation
+of constants is now more strict. See the `data types <data-types>`
+section for details on which constant is allowed for which type.
+* The type validation fixed of the previous point has lead to the
+introduction of blobs constants to allow the input of blobs. Do note
+that while the input of blobs as strings constant is still supported by
+this version (to allow smoother transition to blob constant), it is now
+deprecated and will be removed by a future version. If you were using
+strings as blobs, you should thus update your client code ASAP to switch
+blob constants.
+* A number of functions to convert native types to blobs have also been
+introduced. Furthermore the token function is now also allowed in select
+clauses. See the `section on functions <cql-functions>` for details.
+
+== 3.0.1
+
+* Date strings (and timestamps) are no longer accepted as valid
+`timeuuid` values. Doing so was a bug in the sense that date string are
+not valid `timeuuid`, and it was thus resulting in
+https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4936[confusing
+behaviors]. However, the following new methods have been added to help
+working with `timeuuid`: `now`, `minTimeuuid`, `maxTimeuuid` , `dateOf`
+and `unixTimestampOf`.
+* Float constants now support the exponent notation. In other words,
+`4.2E10` is now a valid floating point value.
+
+== Versioning
+
+Versioning of the CQL language adheres to the http://semver.org[Semantic
+Versioning] guidelines. Versions take the form X.Y.Z where X, Y, and Z
+are integer values representing major, minor, and patch level
+respectively. There is no correlation between Cassandra release versions
+and the CQL language version.
+
+[cols=",",options="header",]
+|===
+|version |description
+| Major | The major version _must_ be bumped when backward incompatible changes
+are introduced. This should rarely occur.
+| Minor | Minor version increments occur when new, but backward compatible,
+functionality is introduced.
+| Patch | The patch version is incremented when bugs are fixed.

+== Cassandra Query Language (CQL) v3.4.3
+
+\{toc:maxLevel=3}
+
+=== CQL Syntax
+
+==== Preamble
+
+This document describes the Cassandra Query Language (CQL) version 3.
+CQL v3 is not backward compatible with CQL v2 and differs from it in
+numerous ways. Note that this document describes the last version of the
+languages. However, the link:#changes[changes] section provides the diff
+between the different versions of CQL v3.
+
+CQL v3 offers a model very close to SQL in the sense that data is put in
+_tables_ containing _rows_ of _columns_. For that reason, when used in
+this document, these terms (tables, rows and columns) have the same
+definition than they have in SQL. But please note that as such, they do
+*not* refer to the concept of rows and columns found in the internal
+implementation of Cassandra and in the thrift and CQL v2 API.
+
+==== Conventions
+
+To aid in specifying the CQL syntax, we will use the following
+conventions in this document:
+
+* Language rules will be given in a
+http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backus%E2%80%93Naur_Form[BNF] -like
+notation:
+
+bc(syntax). ::= TERMINAL
+
+* Nonterminal symbols will have `<angle brackets>`.
+* As additional shortcut notations to BNF, we’ll use traditional regular
+expression’s symbols (`?`, `+` and `*`) to signify that a given symbol
+is optional and/or can be repeated. We’ll also allow parentheses to
+group symbols and the `[<characters>]` notation to represent any one of
+`<characters>`.
+* The grammar is provided for documentation purposes and leave some
+minor details out. For instance, the last column definition in a
+`CREATE TABLE` statement is optional but supported if present even
+though the provided grammar in this document suggest it is not
+supported.
+* Sample code will be provided in a code block:
+
+bc(sample). SELECT sample_usage FROM cql;
+
+* References to keywords or pieces of CQL code in running text will be
+shown in a `fixed-width font`.
+
+[[identifiers]]
+==== Identifiers and keywords
+
+The CQL language uses _identifiers_ (or _names_) to identify tables,
+columns and other objects. An identifier is a token matching the regular
+expression `[a-zA-Z]``[a-zA-Z0-9_]``*`.
+
+A number of such identifiers, like `SELECT` or `WITH`, are _keywords_.
+They have a fixed meaning for the language and most are reserved. The
+list of those keywords can be found in link:#appendixA[Appendix A].
+
+Identifiers and (unquoted) keywords are case insensitive. Thus `SELECT`
+is the same than `select` or `sElEcT`, and `myId` is the same than
+`myid` or `MYID` for instance. A convention often used (in particular by
+the samples of this documentation) is to use upper case for keywords and
+lower case for other identifiers.
+
+There is a second kind of identifiers called _quoted identifiers_
+defined by enclosing an arbitrary sequence of characters in
+double-quotes(`"`). Quoted identifiers are never keywords. Thus
+`"select"` is not a reserved keyword and can be used to refer to a
+column, while `select` would raise a parse error. Also, contrarily to
+unquoted identifiers and keywords, quoted identifiers are case sensitive
+(`"My Quoted Id"` is _different_ from `"my quoted id"`). A fully
+lowercase quoted identifier that matches `[a-zA-Z]``[a-zA-Z0-9_]``*` is
+equivalent to the unquoted identifier obtained by removing the
+double-quote (so `"myid"` is equivalent to `myid` and to `myId` but
+different from `"myId"`). Inside a quoted identifier, the double-quote
+character can be repeated to escape it, so `"foo "" bar"` is a valid
+identifier.
+
+*Warning*: _quoted identifiers_ allows to declare columns with arbitrary
+names, and those can sometime clash with specific names used by the
+server. For instance, when using conditional update, the server will
+respond with a result-set containing a special result named
+`"[applied]"`. If you’ve declared a column with such a name, this could
+potentially confuse some tools and should be avoided. In general,
+unquoted identifiers should be preferred but if you use quoted
+identifiers, it is strongly advised to avoid any name enclosed by
+squared brackets (like `"[applied]"`) and any name that looks like a
+function call (like `"f(x)"`).
+
+==== Constants
+
+CQL defines the following kind of _constants_: strings, integers,
+floats, booleans, uuids and blobs:
+
+* A string constant is an arbitrary sequence of characters characters
+enclosed by single-quote(`'`). One can include a single-quote in a
+string by repeating it, e.g. `'It''s raining today'`. Those are not to
+be confused with quoted identifiers that use double-quotes.
+* An integer constant is defined by `'-'?[0-9]+`.
+* A float constant is defined by
+`'-'?[0-9]+('.'[0-9]*)?([eE][+-]?[0-9+])?`. On top of that, `NaN` and
+`Infinity` are also float constants.
+* A boolean constant is either `true` or `false` up to
+case-insensitivity (i.e. `True` is a valid boolean constant).
+* A http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier[UUID]
+constant is defined by `hex{8}-hex{4}-hex{4}-hex{4}-hex{12}` where `hex`
+is an hexadecimal character, e.g. `[0-9a-fA-F]` and `{4}` is the number
+of such characters.
+* A blob constant is an hexadecimal number defined by `0[xX](hex)+`
+where `hex` is an hexadecimal character, e.g. `[0-9a-fA-F]`.
+
+For how these constants are typed, see the link:#types[data types
+section].
+
+==== Comments
+
+A comment in CQL is a line beginning by either double dashes (`--`) or
+double slash (`//`).
+
+Multi-line comments are also supported through enclosure within `/*` and
+`*/` (but nesting is not supported).
+
+bc(sample). +
+— This is a comment +
+// This is a comment too +
+/* This is +
+a multi-line comment */
+
+==== Statements
+
+CQL consists of statements. As in SQL, these statements can be divided
+in 3 categories:
+
+* Data definition statements, that allow to set and change the way data
+is stored.
+* Data manipulation statements, that allow to change data
+* Queries, to look up data
+
+All statements end with a semicolon (`;`) but that semicolon can be
+omitted when dealing with a single statement. The supported statements
+are described in the following sections. When describing the grammar of
+said statements, we will reuse the non-terminal symbols defined below:
+
+bc(syntax).. +
+::= any quoted or unquoted identifier, excluding reserved keywords +
+::= ( `.')?
+
+::= a string constant +
+::= an integer constant +
+::= a float constant +
+::= |  +
+::= a uuid constant +
+::= a boolean constant +
+::= a blob constant
+
+::=  +
+|  +
+|  +
+|  +
+|  +
+::= `?' +
+| `:'  +
+::=  +
+|  +
+|  +
+| `(' ( (`,' )*)? `)'
+
+::=  +
+|  +
+|  +
+::= `\{' ( `:' ( `,' `:' )* )? `}' +
+::= `\{' ( ( `,' )* )? `}' +
+::= `[' ( ( `,' )* )? `]'
+
+::=
+
+::= (AND )* +
+::= `=' ( | | ) +
+p. +
+Please note that not every possible productions of the grammar above
+will be valid in practice. Most notably, `<variable>` and nested
+`<collection-literal>` are currently not allowed inside
+`<collection-literal>`.
+
+A `<variable>` can be either anonymous (a question mark (`?`)) or named
+(an identifier preceded by `:`). Both declare a bind variables for
+link:#preparedStatement[prepared statements]. The only difference
+between an anymous and a named variable is that a named one will be
+easier to refer to (how exactly depends on the client driver used).
+
+The `<properties>` production is use by statement that create and alter
+keyspaces and tables. Each `<property>` is either a _simple_ one, in
+which case it just has a value, or a _map_ one, in which case it’s value
+is a map grouping sub-options. The following will refer to one or the
+other as the _kind_ (_simple_ or _map_) of the property.
+
+A `<tablename>` will be used to identify a table. This is an identifier
+representing the table name that can be preceded by a keyspace name. The
+keyspace name, if provided, allow to identify a table in another
+keyspace than the currently active one (the currently active keyspace is
+set through the `USE` statement).
+
+For supported `<function>`, see the section on
+link:#functions[functions].
+
+Strings can be either enclosed with single quotes or two dollar
+characters. The second syntax has been introduced to allow strings that
+contain single quotes. Typical candidates for such strings are source
+code fragments for user-defined functions.
+
+_Sample:_
+
+bc(sample).. +
+`some string value'
+
+$$double-dollar string can contain single ’ quotes$$ +
+p.
+
+[[preparedStatement]]
+==== Prepared Statement
+
+CQL supports _prepared statements_. Prepared statement is an
+optimization that allows to parse a query only once but execute it
+multiple times with different concrete values.
+
+In a statement, each time a column value is expected (in the data
+manipulation and query statements), a `<variable>` (see above) can be
+used instead. A statement with bind variables must then be _prepared_.
+Once it has been prepared, it can executed by providing concrete values
+for the bind variables. The exact procedure to prepare a statement and
+execute a prepared statement depends on the CQL driver used and is
+beyond the scope of this document.
+
+In addition to providing column values, bind markers may be used to
+provide values for `LIMIT`, `TIMESTAMP`, and `TTL` clauses. If anonymous
+bind markers are used, the names for the query parameters will be
+`[limit]`, `[timestamp]`, and `[ttl]`, respectively.

+p. +
+The `CREATE KEYSPACE` statement creates a new top-level _keyspace_. A
+keyspace is a namespace that defines a replication strategy and some
+options for a set of tables. Valid keyspaces names are identifiers
+composed exclusively of alphanumerical characters and whose length is
+lesser or equal to 32. Note that as identifiers, keyspace names are case
+insensitive: use a quoted identifier for case sensitive keyspace names.
+
+The supported `<properties>` for `CREATE KEYSPACE` are:
+
+[cols=",,,,",options="header",]
+|===
+|name |kind |mandatory |default |description
+|`replication` |_map_ |yes | |The replication strategy and options to
+use for the keyspace.
+
+|`durable_writes` |_simple_ |no |true |Whether to use the commit log for
+updates on this keyspace (disable this option at your own risk!).
+|===
+
+The `replication` `<property>` is mandatory. It must at least contains
+the `'class'` sub-option which defines the replication strategy class to
+use. The rest of the sub-options depends on that replication strategy
+class. By default, Cassandra support the following `'class'`:
+
+* `'SimpleStrategy'`: A simple strategy that defines a simple
+replication factor for the whole cluster. The only sub-options supported
+is `'replication_factor'` to define that replication factor and is
+mandatory.
+* `'NetworkTopologyStrategy'`: A replication strategy that allows to set
+the replication factor independently for each data-center. The rest of
+the sub-options are key-value pairs where each time the key is the name
+of a datacenter and the value the replication factor for that
+data-center.
+
+Attempting to create an already existing keyspace will return an error
+unless the `IF NOT EXISTS` option is used. If it is used, the statement
+will be a no-op if the keyspace already exists.
+
+[[useStmt]]
+==== USE
+
+_Syntax:_
+
+bc(syntax). ::= USE
+
+_Sample:_
+
+bc(sample). USE myApp;
+
+The `USE` statement takes an existing keyspace name as argument and set
+it as the per-connection current working keyspace. All subsequent
+keyspace-specific actions will be performed in the context of the
+selected keyspace, unless link:#statements[otherwise specified], until
+another USE statement is issued or the connection terminates.

+bc(sample).. +
+ALTER KEYSPACE Excelsior +
+WITH replication = \{’class’: `SimpleStrategy', `replication_factor' :

+
+The `ALTER KEYSPACE` statement alters the properties of an existing
+keyspace. The supported `<properties>` are the same as for the
+link:#createKeyspaceStmt[`CREATE KEYSPACE`] statement.
+
+[[dropKeyspaceStmt]]
+==== DROP KEYSPACE
+
+_Syntax:_
+
+bc(syntax). ::= DROP KEYSPACE ( IF EXISTS )?
+
+_Sample:_
+
+bc(sample). DROP KEYSPACE myApp;
+
+A `DROP KEYSPACE` statement results in the immediate, irreversible
+removal of an existing keyspace, including all column families in it,
+and all data contained in those column families.
+
+If the keyspace does not exists, the statement will return an error,
+unless `IF EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.

+posted_time uuid, +
+body text, +
+posted_by text, +
+PRIMARY KEY (userid, posted_month, posted_time) +
+) WITH compaction = \{ `class' : `LeveledCompactionStrategy' }; +
+p. +
+The `CREATE TABLE` statement creates a new table. Each such table is a
+set of _rows_ (usually representing related entities) for which it
+defines a number of properties. A table is defined by a
+link:#createTableName[name], it defines the columns composing rows of
+the table and have a number of link:#createTableOptions[options]. Note
+that the `CREATE COLUMNFAMILY` syntax is supported as an alias for
+`CREATE TABLE` (for historical reasons).
+
+Attempting to create an already existing table will return an error
+unless the `IF NOT EXISTS` option is used. If it is used, the statement
+will be a no-op if the table already exists.
+
+[[createTableName]]
+===== `<tablename>`
+
+Valid table names are the same as valid
+link:#createKeyspaceStmt[keyspace names] (up to 32 characters long
+alphanumerical identifiers). If the table name is provided alone, the
+table is created within the current keyspace (see `USE`), but if it is
+prefixed by an existing keyspace name (see
+link:#statements[`<tablename>`] grammar), it is created in the specified
+keyspace (but does *not* change the current keyspace).
+
+[[createTableColumn]]
+===== `<column-definition>`
+
+A `CREATE TABLE` statement defines the columns that rows of the table
+can have. A _column_ is defined by its name (an identifier) and its type
+(see the link:#types[data types] section for more details on allowed
+types and their properties).
+
+Within a table, a row is uniquely identified by its `PRIMARY KEY` (or
+more simply the key), and hence all table definitions *must* define a
+PRIMARY KEY (and only one). A `PRIMARY KEY` is composed of one or more
+of the columns defined in the table. If the `PRIMARY KEY` is only one
+column, this can be specified directly after the column definition.
+Otherwise, it must be specified by following `PRIMARY KEY` by the
+comma-separated list of column names composing the key within
+parenthesis. Note that:
+
+bc(sample). +
+CREATE TABLE t ( +
+k int PRIMARY KEY, +
+other text +
+)
+
+is equivalent to
+
+bc(sample). +
+CREATE TABLE t ( +
+k int, +
+other text, +
+PRIMARY KEY (k) +
+)
+
+[[createTablepartitionClustering]]
+===== Partition key and clustering columns
+
+In CQL, the order in which columns are defined for the `PRIMARY KEY`
+matters. The first column of the key is called the _partition key_. It
+has the property that all the rows sharing the same partition key (even
+across table in fact) are stored on the same physical node. Also,
+insertion/update/deletion on rows sharing the same partition key for a
+given table are performed _atomically_ and in _isolation_. Note that it
+is possible to have a composite partition key, i.e. a partition key
+formed of multiple columns, using an extra set of parentheses to define
+which columns forms the partition key.
+
+The remaining columns of the `PRIMARY KEY` definition, if any, are
+called __clustering columns. On a given physical node, rows for a given
+partition key are stored in the order induced by the clustering columns,
+making the retrieval of rows in that clustering order particularly
+efficient (see `SELECT`).
+
+[[createTableStatic]]
+===== `STATIC` columns
+
+Some columns can be declared as `STATIC` in a table definition. A column
+that is static will be ``shared'' by all the rows belonging to the same
+partition (having the same partition key). For instance, in:
+
+bc(sample). +
+CREATE TABLE test ( +
+pk int, +
+t int, +
+v text, +
+s text static, +
+PRIMARY KEY (pk, t) +
+); +
+INSERT INTO test(pk, t, v, s) VALUES (0, 0, `val0', `static0'); +
+INSERT INTO test(pk, t, v, s) VALUES (0, 1, `val1', `static1'); +
+SELECT * FROM test WHERE pk=0 AND t=0;
+
+the last query will return `'static1'` as value for `s`, since `s` is
+static and thus the 2nd insertion modified this ``shared'' value. Note
+however that static columns are only static within a given partition,
+and if in the example above both rows where from different partitions
+(i.e. if they had different value for `pk`), then the 2nd insertion
+would not have modified the value of `s` for the first row.
+
+A few restrictions applies to when static columns are allowed:
+
+* tables with the `COMPACT STORAGE` option (see below) cannot have them
+* a table without clustering columns cannot have static columns (in a
+table without clustering columns, every partition has only one row, and
+so every column is inherently static).
+* only non `PRIMARY KEY` columns can be static
+
+[[createTableOptions]]
+===== `<option>`
+
+The `CREATE TABLE` statement supports a number of options that controls
+the configuration of a new table. These options can be specified after
+the `WITH` keyword.
+
+The first of these option is `COMPACT STORAGE`. This option is mainly
+targeted towards backward compatibility for definitions created before
+CQL3 (see
+http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/thrift-to-cql3[www.datastax.com/dev/blog/thrift-to-cql3]
+for more details). The option also provides a slightly more compact
+layout of data on disk but at the price of diminished flexibility and
+extensibility for the table. Most notably, `COMPACT STORAGE` tables
+cannot have collections nor static columns and a `COMPACT STORAGE` table
+with at least one clustering column supports exactly one (as in not 0
+nor more than 1) column not part of the `PRIMARY KEY` definition (which
+imply in particular that you cannot add nor remove columns after
+creation). For those reasons, `COMPACT STORAGE` is not recommended
+outside of the backward compatibility reason evoked above.
+
+Another option is `CLUSTERING ORDER`. It allows to define the ordering
+of rows on disk. It takes the list of the clustering column names with,
+for each of them, the on-disk order (Ascending or descending). Note that
+this option affects link:#selectOrderBy[what `ORDER BY` are allowed
+during `SELECT`].
+
+Table creation supports the following other `<property>`:
+
+[cols=",,,",options="header",]
+|===
+|option |kind |default |description
+|`comment` |_simple_ |none |A free-form, human-readable comment.
+
+|`gc_grace_seconds` |_simple_ |864000 |Time to wait before garbage
+collecting tombstones (deletion markers).
+
+|`bloom_filter_fp_chance` |_simple_ |0.00075 |The target probability of
+false positive of the sstable bloom filters. Said bloom filters will be
+sized to provide the provided probability (thus lowering this value
+impact the size of bloom filters in-memory and on-disk)
+
+|`default_time_to_live` |_simple_ |0 |The default expiration time
+(``TTL'') in seconds for a table.
+
+|`compaction` |_map_ |_see below_ |Compaction options, see
+link:#compactionOptions[below].
+
+|`compression` |_map_ |_see below_ |Compression options, see
+link:#compressionOptions[below].
+
+|`caching` |_map_ |_see below_ |Caching options, see
+link:#cachingOptions[below].
+|===
+
+[[compactionOptions]]
+===== Compaction options
+
+The `compaction` property must at least define the `'class'` sub-option,
+that defines the compaction strategy class to use. The default supported
+class are `'SizeTieredCompactionStrategy'`,
+`'LeveledCompactionStrategy'` and
+`'TimeWindowCompactionStrategy'`. Custom strategy can be provided by
+specifying the full class name as a link:#constants[string constant].
+The rest of the sub-options depends on the chosen class. The sub-options
+supported by the default classes are:
+
+[cols=",,,",options="header",]
+|===
+|option |supported compaction strategy |default |description
+|`enabled` |_all_ |true |A boolean denoting whether compaction should be
+enabled or not.
+
+|`tombstone_threshold` |_all_ |0.2 |A ratio such that if a sstable has
+more than this ratio of gcable tombstones over all contained columns,
+the sstable will be compacted (with no other sstables) for the purpose
+of purging those tombstones.
+
+|`tombstone_compaction_interval` |_all_ |1 day |The minimum time to wait
+after an sstable creation time before considering it for ``tombstone
+compaction'', where ``tombstone compaction'' is the compaction triggered
+if the sstable has more gcable tombstones than `tombstone_threshold`.
+
+|`unchecked_tombstone_compaction` |_all_ |false |Setting this to true
+enables more aggressive tombstone compactions - single sstable tombstone
+compactions will run without checking how likely it is that they will be
+successful.
+
+|`min_sstable_size` |SizeTieredCompactionStrategy |50MB |The size tiered
+strategy groups SSTables to compact in buckets. A bucket groups SSTables
+that differs from less than 50% in size. However, for small sizes, this
+would result in a bucketing that is too fine grained. `min_sstable_size`
+defines a size threshold (in bytes) below which all SSTables belong to
+one unique bucket
+
+|`min_threshold` |SizeTieredCompactionStrategy |4 |Minimum number of
+SSTables needed to start a minor compaction.
+
+|`max_threshold` |SizeTieredCompactionStrategy |32 |Maximum number of
+SSTables processed by one minor compaction.
+
+|`bucket_low` |SizeTieredCompactionStrategy |0.5 |Size tiered consider
+sstables to be within the same bucket if their size is within
+[average_size * `bucket_low`, average_size * `bucket_high` ] (i.e the
+default groups sstable whose sizes diverges by at most 50%)
+
+|`bucket_high` |SizeTieredCompactionStrategy |1.5 |Size tiered consider
+sstables to be within the same bucket if their size is within
+[average_size * `bucket_low`, average_size * `bucket_high` ] (i.e the
+default groups sstable whose sizes diverges by at most 50%).
+
+|`sstable_size_in_mb` |LeveledCompactionStrategy |5MB |The target size
+(in MB) for sstables in the leveled strategy. Note that while sstable
+sizes should stay less or equal to `sstable_size_in_mb`, it is possible
+to exceptionally have a larger sstable as during compaction, data for a
+given partition key are never split into 2 sstables
+
+|`timestamp_resolution` |TimeWindowCompactionStrategy |MICROSECONDS |The
+timestamp resolution used when inserting data, could be MILLISECONDS,
+MICROSECONDS etc (should be understandable by Java TimeUnit) - don’t
+change this unless you do mutations with USING TIMESTAMP (or equivalent
+directly in the client)
+
+|`compaction_window_unit` |TimeWindowCompactionStrategy |DAYS |The Java
+TimeUnit used for the window size, set in conjunction with
+`compaction_window_size`. Must be one of DAYS, HOURS, MINUTES
+
+|`compaction_window_size` |TimeWindowCompactionStrategy |1 |The number
+of `compaction_window_unit` units that make up a time window.
+
+|`unsafe_aggressive_sstable_expiration` |TimeWindowCompactionStrategy
+|false |Expired sstables will be dropped without checking its data is
+shadowing other sstables. This is a potentially risky option that can
+lead to data loss or deleted data re-appearing, going beyond what
+`unchecked_tombstone_compaction` does for single sstable compaction. Due
+to the risk the jvm must also be started with
+`-Dcassandra.unsafe_aggressive_sstable_expiration=true`.
+|===
+
+[[compressionOptions]]
+===== Compression options
+
+For the `compression` property, the following sub-options are available:
+
+[cols=",,,,,",options="header",]
+|===
+|option |default |description | | |
+|`class` |LZ4Compressor |The compression algorithm to use. Default
+compressor are: LZ4Compressor, SnappyCompressor and DeflateCompressor.
+Use `'enabled' : false` to disable compression. Custom compressor can be
+provided by specifying the full class name as a link:#constants[string
+constant]. | | |
+
+|`enabled` |true |By default compression is enabled. To disable it, set
+`enabled` to `false` |`chunk_length_in_kb` |64KB |On disk SSTables are
+compressed by block (to allow random reads). This defines the size (in
+KB) of said block. Bigger values may improve the compression rate, but
+increases the minimum size of data to be read from disk for a read
+
+|`crc_check_chance` |1.0 |When compression is enabled, each compressed
+block includes a checksum of that block for the purpose of detecting
+disk bitrot and avoiding the propagation of corruption to other replica.
+This option defines the probability with which those checksums are
+checked during read. By default they are always checked. Set to 0 to
+disable checksum checking and to 0.5 for instance to check them every
+other read | | |
+|===
+
+[[cachingOptions]]
+===== Caching options
+
+For the `caching` property, the following sub-options are available:
+
+[cols=",,",options="header",]
+|===
+|option |default |description
+|`keys` |ALL |Whether to cache keys (``key cache'') for this table.
+Valid values are: `ALL` and `NONE`.
+
+|`rows_per_partition` |NONE |The amount of rows to cache per partition
+(``row cache''). If an integer `n` is specified, the first `n` queried
+rows of a partition will be cached. Other possible options are `ALL`, to
+cache all rows of a queried partition, or `NONE` to disable row caching.
+|===
+
+===== Other considerations:
+
+* When link:#insertStmt[inserting] / link:#updateStmt[updating] a given
+row, not all columns needs to be defined (except for those part of the
+key), and missing columns occupy no space on disk. Furthermore, adding
+new columns (see `ALTER TABLE`) is a constant time operation. There is
+thus no need to try to anticipate future usage (or to cry when you
+haven’t) when creating a table.
+
+[[alterTableStmt]]
+==== ALTER TABLE
+
+_Syntax:_
+
+bc(syntax).. +
+::= ALTER (TABLE | COLUMNFAMILY) (IF EXISTS)?
+
+::= ADD (IF NOT EXISTS)? +

+| WITH ( AND )* +
+p. +
+_Sample:_
+
+bc(sample).. +
+ALTER TABLE addamsFamily
+
+ALTER TABLE addamsFamily +
+ADD gravesite varchar;
+
+ALTER TABLE addamsFamily +
+WITH comment = `A most excellent and useful column family'; +
+p. +
+The `ALTER` statement is used to manipulate table definitions. It allows
+for adding new columns, dropping existing ones, or updating the table
+options. As with table creation, `ALTER COLUMNFAMILY` is allowed as an
+alias for `ALTER TABLE`.
+If the table does not exist, the statement will return an error, unless `IF EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
+
+The `<tablename>` is the table name optionally preceded by the keyspace
+name. The `<instruction>` defines the alteration to perform:
+
+* `ADD`: Adds a new column to the table. The `<identifier>` for the new
+column must not conflict with an existing column. Moreover, columns
+cannot be added to tables defined with the `COMPACT STORAGE` option.
+If the new column already exists, the statement will return an error, unless `IF NOT EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
+* `DROP`: Removes a column from the table. Dropped columns will
+immediately become unavailable in the queries and will not be included
+in compacted sstables in the future. If a column is readded, queries
+won’t return values written before the column was last dropped. It is
+assumed that timestamps represent actual time, so if this is not your
+case, you should NOT read previously dropped columns. Columns can’t be
+dropped from tables defined with the `COMPACT STORAGE` option.
+If the dropped column does not already exist, the statement will return an error, unless `IF EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
+* `RENAME` a primary key column of a table. Non primary key columns cannot be renamed.
+Furthermore, renaming a column to another name which already exists isn't allowed.
+It's important to keep in mind that renamed columns shouldn't have dependent seconday indexes.
+If the renamed column does not already exist, the statement will return an error, unless `IF EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
+
+* `WITH`: Allows to update the options of the table. The
+link:#createTableOptions[supported `<option>`] (and syntax) are the same
+as for the `CREATE TABLE` statement except that `COMPACT STORAGE` is not
+supported. Note that setting any `compaction` sub-options has the effect
+of erasing all previous `compaction` options, so you need to re-specify
+all the sub-options if you want to keep them. The same note applies to
+the set of `compression` sub-options.
+
+===== CQL type compatibility:
+
+CQL data types may be converted only as the following table.
+

+bc(syntax). ::= DROP TABLE ( IF EXISTS )?
+
+_Sample:_
+
+bc(sample). DROP TABLE worldSeriesAttendees;
+
+The `DROP TABLE` statement results in the immediate, irreversible
+removal of a table, including all data contained in it. As for table
+creation, `DROP COLUMNFAMILY` is allowed as an alias for `DROP TABLE`.
+
+If the table does not exist, the statement will return an error, unless

+CREATE INDEX userIndex ON NerdMovies (user); +
+CREATE INDEX ON Mutants (abilityId); +
+CREATE INDEX ON users (keys(favs)); +
+CREATE CUSTOM INDEX ON users (email) USING `path.to.the.IndexClass'; +
+CREATE CUSTOM INDEX ON users (email) USING `path.to.the.IndexClass' WITH
+OPTIONS = \{’storage’: `/mnt/ssd/indexes/'};
+
+The `CREATE INDEX` statement is used to create a new (automatic)
+secondary index for a given (existing) column in a given table. A name
+for the index itself can be specified before the `ON` keyword, if
+desired. If data already exists for the column, it will be indexed
+asynchronously. After the index is created, new data for the column is
+indexed automatically at insertion time.
+
+Attempting to create an already existing index will return an error
+unless the `IF NOT EXISTS` option is used. If it is used, the statement
+will be a no-op if the index already exists.
+
+[[keysIndex]]
+===== Indexes on Map Keys
+
+When creating an index on a link:#map[map column], you may index either
+the keys or the values. If the column identifier is placed within the
+`keys()` function, the index will be on the map keys, allowing you to
+use `CONTAINS KEY` in `WHERE` clauses. Otherwise, the index will be on
+the map values.
+
+[[dropIndexStmt]]
+==== DROP INDEX
+
+_Syntax:_

+bc(syntax). ::= DROP INDEX ( IF EXISTS )? ( `.' )?
+
+_Sample:_
+
+bc(sample).. +
+DROP INDEX userIndex;
+
+DROP INDEX userkeyspace.address_index; +
+p. +
+The `DROP INDEX` statement is used to drop an existing secondary index.
+The argument of the statement is the index name, which may optionally
+specify the keyspace of the index.
+
+If the index does not exists, the statement will return an error, unless
+`IF EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
+
+[[createMVStmt]]

+SELECT * +
+FROM monkeySpecies +
+WHERE population IS NOT NULL AND species IS NOT NULL +
+PRIMARY KEY (population, species) +
+WITH comment=`Allow query by population instead of species'; +
+p. +
+The `CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW` statement creates a new materialized
+view. Each such view is a set of _rows_ which corresponds to rows which
+are present in the underlying, or base, table specified in the `SELECT`
+statement. A materialized view cannot be directly updated, but updates
+to the base table will cause corresponding updates in the view.
+
+Attempting to create an already existing materialized view will return
+an error unless the `IF NOT EXISTS` option is used. If it is used, the
+statement will be a no-op if the materialized view already exists.
+
+[[createMVWhere]]
+===== `WHERE` Clause
+
+The `<where-clause>` is similar to the link:#selectWhere[where clause of
+a `SELECT` statement], with a few differences. First, the where clause
+must contain an expression that disallows `NULL` values in columns in
+the view’s primary key. If no other restriction is desired, this can be
+accomplished with an `IS NOT NULL` expression. Second, only columns
+which are in the base table’s primary key may be restricted with
+expressions other than `IS NOT NULL`. (Note that this second restriction
+may be lifted in the future.)
+
+[[alterMVStmt]]
+==== ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW
+
+_Syntax:_
+
+bc(syntax). ::= ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW  +
+WITH ( AND )*
+
+The `ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW` statement allows options to be update;
+these options are the same as `CREATE TABLE`’s options.

+
+_Syntax:_
+
+bc(syntax). ::= DROP MATERIALIZED VIEW ( IF EXISTS )?
+
+_Sample:_
+
+bc(sample). DROP MATERIALIZED VIEW monkeySpecies_by_population;
+
+The `DROP MATERIALIZED VIEW` statement is used to drop an existing

+The `CREATE TYPE` statement creates a new user-defined type. Each type
+is a set of named, typed fields. Field types may be any valid type,
+including collections and other existing user-defined types.
+
+Attempting to create an already existing type will result in an error
+unless the `IF NOT EXISTS` option is used. If it is used, the statement
+will be a no-op if the type already exists.
+
+[[createTypeName]]
+===== `<typename>`
+
+Valid type names are identifiers. The names of existing CQL types and
+link:#appendixB[reserved type names] may not be used.
+
+If the type name is provided alone, the type is created with the current
+keyspace (see `USE`). If it is prefixed by an existing keyspace name,
+the type is created within the specified keyspace instead of the current
+keyspace.

+p. +
+_Sample:_
+
+bc(sample).. +
+ALTER TYPE address ADD country text
+
+ALTER TYPE address RENAME zip TO zipcode AND street_name TO street +
+p. +
+The `ALTER TYPE` statement is used to manipulate type definitions. It
+allows for adding new fields, renaming existing fields, or changing the
+type of existing fields. If the type does not exist, the statement will return an error, unless `IF EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.

+The `DROP TYPE` statement results in the immediate, irreversible removal
+of a type. Attempting to drop a type that is still in use by another
+type or a table will result in an error.
+
+If the type does not exist, an error will be returned unless `IF EXISTS`
+is used, in which case the operation is a no-op.

+
+The actual logic that makes up the trigger can be written in any Java
+(JVM) language and exists outside the database. You place the trigger
+code in a `lib/triggers` subdirectory of the Cassandra installation
+directory, it loads during cluster startup, and exists on every node

+`CREATE FUNCTION` creates or replaces a user-defined function.
+
+[[functionSignature]]
+===== Function Signature
+
+Signatures are used to distinguish individual functions. The signature
+consists of:
+
+. The fully qualified function name - i.e _keyspace_ plus
+_function-name_
+. The concatenated list of all argument types
+
+Note that keyspace names, function names and argument types are subject
+to the default naming conventions and case-sensitivity rules.
+
+`CREATE FUNCTION` with the optional `OR REPLACE` keywords either creates
+a function or replaces an existing one with the same signature. A
+`CREATE FUNCTION` without `OR REPLACE` fails if a function with the same
+signature already exists.
+
+Behavior on invocation with `null` values must be defined for each
+function. There are two options:
+
+. `RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT` declares that the function will always
+return `null` if any of the input arguments is `null`.
+. `CALLED ON NULL INPUT` declares that the function will always be
+executed.
+
+If the optional `IF NOT EXISTS` keywords are used, the function will
+only be created if another function with the same signature does not
+exist.
+
+`OR REPLACE` and `IF NOT EXIST` cannot be used together.
+
+Functions belong to a keyspace. If no keyspace is specified in
+`<function-name>`, the current keyspace is used (i.e. the keyspace
+specified using the link:#useStmt[`USE`] statement). It is not possible
+to create a user-defined function in one of the system keyspaces.
+
+See the section on link:#udfs[user-defined functions] for more
+information.

+bc(sample). +
+DROP FUNCTION myfunction; +
+DROP FUNCTION mykeyspace.afunction; +
+DROP FUNCTION afunction ( int ); +
+DROP FUNCTION afunction ( text );
+
+`DROP FUNCTION` statement removes a function created using
+`CREATE FUNCTION`. +
+You must specify the argument types (link:#functionSignature[signature]
+) of the function to drop if there are multiple functions with the same
+name but a different signature (overloaded functions).
+
+`DROP FUNCTION` with the optional `IF EXISTS` keywords drops a function
+if it exists.

+bc(sample). +
+CREATE AGGREGATE myaggregate ( val text ) +
+SFUNC myaggregate_state +
+STYPE text +
+FINALFUNC myaggregate_final +
+INITCOND `foo';
+
+See the section on link:#udas[user-defined aggregates] for a complete
+example.
+
+`CREATE AGGREGATE` creates or replaces a user-defined aggregate.
+
+`CREATE AGGREGATE` with the optional `OR REPLACE` keywords either
+creates an aggregate or replaces an existing one with the same
+signature. A `CREATE AGGREGATE` without `OR REPLACE` fails if an
+aggregate with the same signature already exists.
+
+`CREATE AGGREGATE` with the optional `IF NOT EXISTS` keywords either
+creates an aggregate if it does not already exist.
+
+`OR REPLACE` and `IF NOT EXIST` cannot be used together.
+
+Aggregates belong to a keyspace. If no keyspace is specified in
+`<aggregate-name>`, the current keyspace is used (i.e. the keyspace
+specified using the link:#useStmt[`USE`] statement). It is not possible
+to create a user-defined aggregate in one of the system keyspaces.
+
+Signatures for user-defined aggregates follow the
+link:#functionSignature[same rules] as for user-defined functions.
+
+`STYPE` defines the type of the state value and must be specified.
+
+The optional `INITCOND` defines the initial state value for the
+aggregate. It defaults to `null`. A non-`null` `INITCOND` must be
+specified for state functions that are declared with
+`RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT`.
+
+`SFUNC` references an existing function to be used as the state
+modifying function. The type of first argument of the state function
+must match `STYPE`. The remaining argument types of the state function
+must match the argument types of the aggregate function. State is not
+updated for state functions declared with `RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT`
+and called with `null`.
+
+The optional `FINALFUNC` is called just before the aggregate result is
+returned. It must take only one argument with type `STYPE`. The return
+type of the `FINALFUNC` may be a different type. A final function
+declared with `RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT` means that the aggregate’s
+return value will be `null`, if the last state is `null`.
+
+If no `FINALFUNC` is defined, the overall return type of the aggregate
+function is `STYPE`. If a `FINALFUNC` is defined, it is the return type
+of that function.
+
+See the section on link:#udas[user-defined aggregates] for more
+information.

+DROP AGGREGATE myAggregate; +
+DROP AGGREGATE myKeyspace.anAggregate; +
+DROP AGGREGATE someAggregate ( int ); +
+DROP AGGREGATE someAggregate ( text );
+
+The `DROP AGGREGATE` statement removes an aggregate created using
+`CREATE AGGREGATE`. You must specify the argument types of the aggregate
+to drop if there are multiple aggregates with the same name but a
+different signature (overloaded aggregates).
+
+`DROP AGGREGATE` with the optional `IF EXISTS` keywords drops an
+aggregate if it exists, and does nothing if a function with the
+signature does not exist.

+VALUES (`Serenity', `Joss Whedon', `Nathan Fillion', 2005) +
+USING TTL 86400;
+
+INSERT INTO NerdMovies JSON `\{``movie'': ``Serenity'', ``director'':
+``Joss Whedon'', ``year'': 2005}' +
+p. +
+The `INSERT` statement writes one or more columns for a given row in a
+table. Note that since a row is identified by its `PRIMARY KEY`, at
+least the columns composing it must be specified. The list of columns to
+insert to must be supplied when using the `VALUES` syntax. When using
+the `JSON` syntax, they are optional. See the section on
+link:#insertJson[`INSERT JSON`] for more details.
+
+Note that unlike in SQL, `INSERT` does not check the prior existence of
+the row by default: the row is created if none existed before, and
+updated otherwise. Furthermore, there is no mean to know which of
+creation or update happened.
+
+It is however possible to use the `IF NOT EXISTS` condition to only
+insert if the row does not exist prior to the insertion. But please note
+that using `IF NOT EXISTS` will incur a non negligible performance cost
+(internally, Paxos will be used) so this should be used sparingly.
+
+All updates for an `INSERT` are applied atomically and in isolation.
+
+Please refer to the link:#updateOptions[`UPDATE`] section for
+information on the `<option>` available and to the
+link:#collections[collections] section for use of
+`<collection-literal>`. Also note that `INSERT` does not support

+UPDATE UserActions SET total = total + 2 WHERE user =
+B70DE1D0-9908-4AE3-BE34-5573E5B09F14 AND action = `click'; +
+p. +
+The `UPDATE` statement writes one or more columns for a given row in a
+table. The `<where-clause>` is used to select the row to update and must
+include all columns composing the `PRIMARY KEY`. Other columns values
+are specified through `<assignment>` after the `SET` keyword.
+
+Note that unlike in SQL, `UPDATE` does not check the prior existence of
+the row by default (except through the use of `<condition>`, see below):
+the row is created if none existed before, and updated otherwise.
+Furthermore, there are no means to know whether a creation or update
+occurred.
+
+It is however possible to use the conditions on some columns through
+`IF`, in which case the row will not be updated unless the conditions
+are met. But, please note that using `IF` conditions will incur a
+non-negligible performance cost (internally, Paxos will be used) so this
+should be used sparingly.
+
+In an `UPDATE` statement, all updates within the same partition key are
+applied atomically and in isolation.
+
+The `c = c + 3` form of `<assignment>` is used to increment/decrement
+counters. The identifier after the `=' sign *must* be the same than the
+one before the `=' sign (Only increment/decrement is supported on
+counters, not the assignment of a specific value).
+
+The `id = id + <collection-literal>` and `id[value1] = value2` forms of
+`<assignment>` are for collections. Please refer to the
+link:#collections[relevant section] for more details.
+
+The `id.field = <term>` form of `<assignemt>` is for setting the value
+of a single field on a non-frozen user-defined types.
+
+[[updateOptions]]
+===== `<options>`
+
+The `UPDATE` and `INSERT` statements support the following options:
+
+* `TIMESTAMP`: sets the timestamp for the operation. If not specified,
+the coordinator will use the current time (in microseconds) at the start
+of statement execution as the timestamp. This is usually a suitable
+default.
+* `TTL`: specifies an optional Time To Live (in seconds) for the
+inserted values. If set, the inserted values are automatically removed
+from the database after the specified time. Note that the TTL concerns
+the inserted values, not the columns themselves. This means that any
+subsequent update of the column will also reset the TTL (to whatever TTL
+is specified in that update). By default, values never expire. A TTL of
+0 is equivalent to no TTL. If the table has a default_time_to_live, a
+TTL of 0 will remove the TTL for the inserted or updated values.

+B70DE1D0-9908-4AE3-BE34-5573E5B09F14); +
+p. +
+The `DELETE` statement deletes columns and rows. If column names are
+provided directly after the `DELETE` keyword, only those columns are
+deleted from the row indicated by the `<where-clause>`. The `id[value]`
+syntax in `<selection>` is for non-frozen collections (please refer to
+the link:#collections[collection section] for more details). The
+`id.field` syntax is for the deletion of non-frozen user-defined types.
+Otherwise, whole rows are removed. The `<where-clause>` specifies which
+rows are to be deleted. Multiple rows may be deleted with one statement
+by using an `IN` clause. A range of rows may be deleted using an
+inequality operator (such as `>=`).
+
+`DELETE` supports the `TIMESTAMP` option with the same semantics as the
+link:#updateStmt[`UPDATE`] statement.
+
+In a `DELETE` statement, all deletions within the same partition key are
+applied atomically and in isolation.
+
+A `DELETE` operation can be conditional through the use of an `IF`
+clause, similar to `UPDATE` and `INSERT` statements. However, as with
+`INSERT` and `UPDATE` statements, this will incur a non-negligible
+performance cost (internally, Paxos will be used) and so should be used
+sparingly.
+
+[[batchStmt]]

+BEGIN BATCH +
+INSERT INTO users (userid, password, name) VALUES (`user2', `ch@ngem3b',
+`second user'); +
+UPDATE users SET password = `ps22dhds' WHERE userid = `user3'; +
+INSERT INTO users (userid, password) VALUES (`user4', `ch@ngem3c'); +
+DELETE name FROM users WHERE userid = `user1'; +
+APPLY BATCH;
+
+The `BATCH` statement group multiple modification statements
+(insertions/updates and deletions) into a single statement. It serves
+several purposes:
+
+. It saves network round-trips between the client and the server (and
+sometimes between the server coordinator and the replicas) when batching
+multiple updates.
+. All updates in a `BATCH` belonging to a given partition key are
+performed in isolation.
+. By default, all operations in the batch are performed as `LOGGED`, to
+ensure all mutations eventually complete (or none will). See the notes
+on link:#unloggedBatch[`UNLOGGED`] for more details.
+
+Note that:
+
+* `BATCH` statements may only contain `UPDATE`, `INSERT` and `DELETE`
+statements.
+* Batches are _not_ a full analogue for SQL transactions.
+* If a timestamp is not specified for each operation, then all
+operations will be applied with the same timestamp. Due to Cassandra’s
+conflict resolution procedure in the case of
+http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/FAQ#clocktie[timestamp ties],
+operations may be applied in an order that is different from the order
+they are listed in the `BATCH` statement. To force a particular
+operation ordering, you must specify per-operation timestamps.
+
+[[unloggedBatch]]
+===== `UNLOGGED`
+
+By default, Cassandra uses a batch log to ensure all operations in a
+batch eventually complete or none will (note however that operations are
+only isolated within a single partition).
+
+There is a performance penalty for batch atomicity when a batch spans
+multiple partitions. If you do not want to incur this penalty, you can
+tell Cassandra to skip the batchlog with the `UNLOGGED` option. If the
+`UNLOGGED` option is used, a failed batch might leave the patch only
+partly applied.
+
+[[counterBatch]]
+===== `COUNTER`
+
+Use the `COUNTER` option for batched counter updates. Unlike other
+updates in Cassandra, counter updates are not idempotent.
+
+[[batchOptions]]
+===== `<option>`
+
+`BATCH` supports both the `TIMESTAMP` option, with similar semantic to
+the one described in the link:#updateOptions[`UPDATE`] statement (the
+timestamp applies to all the statement inside the batch). However, if
+used, `TIMESTAMP` *must not* be used in the statements within the batch.

+AND time > `2011-02-03' +
+AND time <= `2012-01-01'
+
+SELECT COUNT (*) FROM users;
+
+SELECT COUNT (*) AS user_count FROM users;
+
+The `SELECT` statements reads one or more columns for one or more rows
+in a table. It returns a result-set of rows, where each row contains the
+collection of columns corresponding to the query. If the `JSON` keyword
+is used, the results for each row will contain only a single column
+named ``json''. See the section on link:#selectJson[`SELECT JSON`] for
+more details.
+
+[[selectSelection]]
+===== `<select-clause>`
+
+The `<select-clause>` determines which columns needs to be queried and
+returned in the result-set. It consists of either the comma-separated
+list of or the wildcard character (`*`) to select all the columns
+defined for the table. Please note that for wildcard `SELECT` queries
+the order of columns returned is not specified and is not guaranteed to
+be stable between Cassandra versions.
+
+A `<selector>` is either a column name to retrieve or a `<function>` of
+one or more `<term>`s. The function allowed are the same as for `<term>`
+and are described in the link:#functions[function section]. In addition
+to these generic functions, the `WRITETIME` and `MAXWRITETIME` (resp. `TTL`)
+function allows to select the timestamp of when the column was inserted (resp.
+the time to live (in seconds) for the column (or null if the column has
+no expiration set)) and the link:#castFun[`CAST`] function can be used
+to convert one data type to another. The `WRITETIME` and `TTL` functions
+can't be used on multi-cell columns such as non-frozen collections or
+non-frozen user-defined types.
+
+Additionally, individual values of maps and sets can be selected using
+`[ <term> ]`. For maps, this will return the value corresponding to the
+key, if such entry exists. For sets, this will return the key that is
+selected if it exists and is thus mainly a way to check element
+existence. It is also possible to select a slice of a set or map with
+`[ <term> ... <term> `], where both bound can be omitted.
+
+Any `<selector>` can be aliased using `AS` keyword (see examples).
+Please note that `<where-clause>` and `<order-by>` clause should refer
+to the columns by their original names and not by their aliases.
+
+The `COUNT` keyword can be used with parenthesis enclosing `*`. If so,
+the query will return a single result: the number of rows matching the
+query. Note that `COUNT(1)` is supported as an alias.
+
+[[selectWhere]]
+===== `<where-clause>`
+
+The `<where-clause>` specifies which rows must be queried. It is
+composed of relations on the columns that are part of the `PRIMARY KEY`
+and/or have a link:#createIndexStmt[secondary index] defined on them.
+
+Not all relations are allowed in a query. For instance, non-equal
+relations (where `IN` is considered as an equal relation) on a partition
+key are not supported (but see the use of the `TOKEN` method below to do
+non-equal queries on the partition key). Moreover, for a given partition
+key, the clustering columns induce an ordering of rows and relations on
+them is restricted to the relations that allow to select a *contiguous*
+(for the ordering) set of rows. For instance, given
+
+bc(sample). +
+CREATE TABLE posts ( +
+userid text, +
+blog_title text, +
+posted_at timestamp, +
+entry_title text, +
+content text, +
+category int, +
+PRIMARY KEY (userid, blog_title, posted_at) +
+)
+
+The following query is allowed:
+
+bc(sample). +
+SELECT entry_title, content FROM posts WHERE userid=`john doe' AND
+blog_title=`John'`s Blog' AND posted_at >= `2012-01-01' AND posted_at <
+`2012-01-31'
+
+But the following one is not, as it does not select a contiguous set of
+rows (and we suppose no secondary indexes are set):
+
+bc(sample). +
+// Needs a blog_title to be set to select ranges of posted_at +
+SELECT entry_title, content FROM posts WHERE userid=`john doe' AND
+posted_at >= `2012-01-01' AND posted_at < `2012-01-31'
+
+When specifying relations, the `TOKEN` function can be used on the
+`PARTITION KEY` column to query. In that case, rows will be selected
+based on the token of their `PARTITION_KEY` rather than on the value.
+Note that the token of a key depends on the partitioner in use, and that
+in particular the RandomPartitioner won’t yield a meaningful order. Also
+note that ordering partitioners always order token values by bytes (so
+even if the partition key is of type int, `token(-1) > token(0)` in
+particular). Example:
+
+bc(sample). +
+SELECT * FROM posts WHERE token(userid) > token(`tom') AND token(userid)
+< token(`bob')
+
+Moreover, the `IN` relation is only allowed on the last column of the
+partition key and on the last column of the full primary key.
+
+It is also possible to ``group'' `CLUSTERING COLUMNS` together in a
+relation using the tuple notation. For instance:
+
+bc(sample). +
+SELECT * FROM posts WHERE userid=`john doe' AND (blog_title, posted_at)
+> (`John'`s Blog', `2012-01-01')
+
+will request all rows that sorts after the one having ``John’s Blog'' as
+`blog_tile` and `2012-01-01' for `posted_at` in the clustering order. In
+particular, rows having a `post_at <= '2012-01-01'` will be returned as
+long as their `blog_title > 'John''s Blog'`, which wouldn’t be the case
+for:
+
+bc(sample). +
+SELECT * FROM posts WHERE userid=`john doe' AND blog_title > `John'`s
+Blog' AND posted_at > `2012-01-01'
+
+The tuple notation may also be used for `IN` clauses on
+`CLUSTERING COLUMNS`:
+
+bc(sample). +
+SELECT * FROM posts WHERE userid=`john doe' AND (blog_title, posted_at)
+IN ((`John'`s Blog', `2012-01-01), (’Extreme Chess', `2014-06-01'))
+
+The `CONTAINS` operator may only be used on collection columns (lists,
+sets, and maps). In the case of maps, `CONTAINS` applies to the map
+values. The `CONTAINS KEY` operator may only be used on map columns and
+applies to the map keys.
+
+[[selectOrderBy]]
+===== `<order-by>`
+
+The `ORDER BY` option allows to select the order of the returned
+results. It takes as argument a list of column names along with the
+order for the column (`ASC` for ascendant and `DESC` for descendant,
+omitting the order being equivalent to `ASC`). Currently the possible
+orderings are limited (which depends on the table
+link:#createTableOptions[`CLUSTERING ORDER`] ):
+
+* if the table has been defined without any specific `CLUSTERING ORDER`,
+then then allowed orderings are the order induced by the clustering
+columns and the reverse of that one.
+* otherwise, the orderings allowed are the order of the
+`CLUSTERING ORDER` option and the reversed one.
+
+[[selectGroupBy]]
+===== `<group-by>`
+
+The `GROUP BY` option allows to condense into a single row all selected
+rows that share the same values for a set of columns.
+
+Using the `GROUP BY` option, it is only possible to group rows at the
+partition key level or at a clustering column level. By consequence, the
+`GROUP BY` option only accept as arguments primary key column names in
+the primary key order. If a primary key column is restricted by an
+equality restriction it is not required to be present in the `GROUP BY`
+clause.
+
+Aggregate functions will produce a separate value for each group. If no
+`GROUP BY` clause is specified, aggregates functions will produce a
+single value for all the rows.
+
+If a column is selected without an aggregate function, in a statement
+with a `GROUP BY`, the first value encounter in each group will be
+returned.
+
+[[selectLimit]]
+===== `LIMIT` and `PER PARTITION LIMIT`
+
+The `LIMIT` option to a `SELECT` statement limits the number of rows
+returned by a query, while the `PER PARTITION LIMIT` option limits the
+number of rows returned for a given partition by the query. Note that
+both type of limit can used in the same statement.
+
+[[selectAllowFiltering]]
+===== `ALLOW FILTERING`
+
+By default, CQL only allows select queries that don’t involve
+``filtering'' server side, i.e. queries where we know that all (live)
+record read will be returned (maybe partly) in the result set. The
+reasoning is that those ``non filtering'' queries have predictable
+performance in the sense that they will execute in a time that is
+proportional to the amount of data *returned* by the query (which can be
+controlled through `LIMIT`).
+
+The `ALLOW FILTERING` option allows to explicitly allow (some) queries
+that require filtering. Please note that a query using `ALLOW FILTERING`
+may thus have unpredictable performance (for the definition above), i.e.
+even a query that selects a handful of records *may* exhibit performance
+that depends on the total amount of data stored in the cluster.
+
+For instance, considering the following table holding user profiles with
+their year of birth (with a secondary index on it) and country of
+residence:
+
+bc(sample).. +
+CREATE TABLE users ( +
+username text PRIMARY KEY, +
+firstname text, +
+lastname text, +
+birth_year int, +
+country text +
+)
+
+CREATE INDEX ON users(birth_year); +
+p.
+
+Then the following queries are valid:
+
+bc(sample). +
+SELECT * FROM users; +
+SELECT firstname, lastname FROM users WHERE birth_year = 1981;
+
+because in both case, Cassandra guarantees that these queries
+performance will be proportional to the amount of data returned. In
+particular, if no users are born in 1981, then the second query
+performance will not depend of the number of user profile stored in the
+database (not directly at least: due to secondary index implementation
+consideration, this query may still depend on the number of node in the
+cluster, which indirectly depends on the amount of data stored.
+Nevertheless, the number of nodes will always be multiple number of
+magnitude lower than the number of user profile stored). Of course, both
+query may return very large result set in practice, but the amount of
+data returned can always be controlled by adding a `LIMIT`.
+
+However, the following query will be rejected:
+
+bc(sample). +
+SELECT firstname, lastname FROM users WHERE birth_year = 1981 AND
+country = `FR';
+
+because Cassandra cannot guarantee that it won’t have to scan large
+amount of data even if the result to those query is small. Typically, it
+will scan all the index entries for users born in 1981 even if only a
+handful are actually from France. However, if you ``know what you are
+doing'', you can force the execution of this query by using
+`ALLOW FILTERING` and so the following query is valid:
+
+bc(sample). +
+SELECT firstname, lastname FROM users WHERE birth_year = 1981 AND
+country = `FR' ALLOW FILTERING;

+[[databaseRoles]]
+=== Database Roles
+
+[[createRoleStmt]]

+
+_Syntax:_

+CREATE ROLE bob WITH PASSWORD = `password_b' AND LOGIN = true AND
+SUPERUSER = true; +
+CREATE ROLE carlos WITH OPTIONS = \{ `custom_option1' : `option1_value',
+`custom_option2' : 99 };
+
+By default roles do not possess `LOGIN` privileges or `SUPERUSER`
+status.
+
+link:#permissions[Permissions] on database resources are granted to
+roles; types of resources include keyspaces, tables, functions and roles
+themselves. Roles may be granted to other roles to create hierarchical
+permissions structures; in these hierarchies, permissions and
+`SUPERUSER` status are inherited, but the `LOGIN` privilege is not.
+
+If a role has the `LOGIN` privilege, clients may identify as that role
+when connecting. For the duration of that connection, the client will
+acquire any roles and privileges granted to that role.
+
+Only a client with with the `CREATE` permission on the database roles
+resource may issue `CREATE ROLE` requests (see the
+link:#permissions[relevant section] below), unless the client is a
+`SUPERUSER`. Role management in Cassandra is pluggable and custom
+implementations may support only a subset of the listed options.
+
+Role names should be quoted if they contain non-alphanumeric characters.
+
+[[createRolePwd]]
+===== Setting credentials for internal authentication
+
+Use the `WITH PASSWORD` clause to set a password for internal
+authentication, enclosing the password in single quotation marks. +
+If internal authentication has not been set up or the role does not have
+`LOGIN` privileges, the `WITH PASSWORD` clause is not necessary.
+
+[[createRoleConditional]]
+===== Creating a role conditionally
+
+Attempting to create an existing role results in an invalid query
+condition unless the `IF NOT EXISTS` option is used. If the option is
+used and the role exists, the statement is a no-op.
+
+bc(sample). +
+CREATE ROLE other_role; +
+CREATE ROLE IF NOT EXISTS other_role;
+
+[[alterRoleStmt]]

+| OPTIONS =  +
+p.
+
+_Sample:_
+
+bc(sample). +
+ALTER ROLE bob WITH PASSWORD = `PASSWORD_B' AND SUPERUSER = false;
+
+If the role does not exist, the statement will return an error, unless `IF EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
+
+Conditions on executing `ALTER ROLE` statements:
+
+* A client must have `SUPERUSER` status to alter the `SUPERUSER` status
+of another role
+* A client cannot alter the `SUPERUSER` status of any role it currently
+holds
+* A client can only modify certain properties of the role with which it
+identified at login (e.g. `PASSWORD`)
+* To modify properties of a role, the client must be granted `ALTER`
+link:#permissions[permission] on that role
+
+[[dropRoleStmt]]
+==== DROP ROLE
+
+_Syntax:_

+bc(syntax).. +
+::= DROP ROLE ( IF EXISTS )?  +
+p.
+
+_Sample:_
+
+bc(sample). +
+DROP ROLE alice; +
+DROP ROLE IF EXISTS bob;
+
+`DROP ROLE` requires the client to have `DROP`
+link:#permissions[permission] on the role in question. In addition,
+client may not `DROP` the role with which it identified at login.
+Finaly, only a client with `SUPERUSER` status may `DROP` another
+`SUPERUSER` role. +
+Attempting to drop a role which does not exist results in an invalid
+query condition unless the `IF EXISTS` option is used. If the option is
+used and the role does not exist the statement is a no-op.
+
+[[grantRoleStmt]]
+==== GRANT ROLE
+
+_Syntax:_
+
+bc(syntax). +
+::= GRANT TO
+
+_Sample:_
+
+bc(sample). +
+GRANT report_writer TO alice;
+
+This statement grants the `report_writer` role to `alice`. Any
+permissions granted to `report_writer` are also acquired by `alice`. +
+Roles are modelled as a directed acyclic graph, so circular grants are
+not permitted. The following examples result in error conditions:
+
+bc(sample). +
+GRANT role_a TO role_b; +
+GRANT role_b TO role_a;
+
+bc(sample). +
+GRANT role_a TO role_b; +
+GRANT role_b TO role_c; +
+GRANT role_c TO role_a;
+

+==== REVOKE ROLE
+
+_Syntax:_
+
+bc(syntax). +
+::= REVOKE FROM
+
+_Sample:_
+
+bc(sample). +
+REVOKE report_writer FROM alice;
+
+This statement revokes the `report_writer` role from `alice`. Any
+permissions that `alice` has acquired via the `report_writer` role are
+also revoked.
+
+[[listRolesStmt]]
+===== LIST ROLES
+
+_Syntax:_
+
+bc(syntax). +
+::= LIST ROLES ( OF )? ( NORECURSIVE )?
+
+_Sample:_
+
+bc(sample). +
+LIST ROLES;
+
+Return all known roles in the system, this requires `DESCRIBE`
+permission on the database roles resource.
+
+bc(sample). +
+LIST ROLES OF `alice`;
+
+Enumerate all roles granted to `alice`, including those transitively
+aquired.
+
+bc(sample). +
+LIST ROLES OF `bob` NORECURSIVE
+
+List all roles directly granted to `bob`.
+
+[[createUserStmt]]
+==== CREATE USER
+
+Prior to the introduction of roles in Cassandra 2.2, authentication and
+authorization were based around the concept of a `USER`. For backward
+compatibility, the legacy syntax has been preserved with `USER` centric
+statments becoming synonyms for the `ROLE` based equivalents.
+
+_Syntax:_
+
+bc(syntax).. +
+::= CREATE USER ( IF NOT EXISTS )? ( WITH PASSWORD )? ()?
+
+::= SUPERUSER +
+| NOSUPERUSER +
+p.
+
+_Sample:_
+
+bc(sample). +
+CREATE USER alice WITH PASSWORD `password_a' SUPERUSER; +
+CREATE USER bob WITH PASSWORD `password_b' NOSUPERUSER;
+
+`CREATE USER` is equivalent to `CREATE ROLE` where the `LOGIN` option is
+`true`. So, the following pairs of statements are equivalent:
+
+bc(sample).. +
+CREATE USER alice WITH PASSWORD `password_a' SUPERUSER; +
+CREATE ROLE alice WITH PASSWORD = `password_a' AND LOGIN = true AND
+SUPERUSER = true;
+
+CREATE USER IF NOT EXISTS alice WITH PASSWORD `password_a' SUPERUSER; +
+CREATE ROLE IF NOT EXISTS alice WITH PASSWORD = `password_a' AND LOGIN =
+true AND SUPERUSER = true;
+
+CREATE USER alice WITH PASSWORD `password_a' NOSUPERUSER; +
+CREATE ROLE alice WITH PASSWORD = `password_a' AND LOGIN = true AND
+SUPERUSER = false;
+
+CREATE USER alice WITH PASSWORD `password_a' NOSUPERUSER; +
+CREATE ROLE alice WITH PASSWORD = `password_a' AND LOGIN = true;
+
+CREATE USER alice WITH PASSWORD `password_a'; +
+CREATE ROLE alice WITH PASSWORD = `password_a' AND LOGIN = true; +
+p.

+
+::= SUPERUSER +
+| NOSUPERUSER +
+p.
+
+bc(sample). +
+ALTER USER alice WITH PASSWORD `PASSWORD_A'; +
+ALTER USER bob SUPERUSER;
+
+If the user does not exist, the statement will return an error, unless `IF EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
+
+[[dropUserStmt]]
+==== DROP USER
+
+_Syntax:_

+==== LIST USERS
+
+_Syntax:_
+
+bc(syntax). +
+::= LIST USERS;
+
+_Sample:_
+
+bc(sample). +
+LIST USERS;
+
+This statement is equivalent to
+
+bc(sample). +
+LIST ROLES;
+
+but only roles with the `LOGIN` privilege are included in the output.
+
+[[dataControl]]
+=== Data Control
+
+==== Permissions
+
+Permissions on resources are granted to roles; there are several
+different types of resources in Cassandra and each type is modelled
+hierarchically:
+
+* The hierarchy of Data resources, Keyspaces and Tables has the
+structure `ALL KEYSPACES` -> `KEYSPACE` -> `TABLE`
+* Function resources have the structure `ALL FUNCTIONS` -> `KEYSPACE` ->
+`FUNCTION`
+* Resources representing roles have the structure `ALL ROLES` -> `ROLE`
+* Resources representing JMX ObjectNames, which map to sets of
+MBeans/MXBeans, have the structure `ALL MBEANS` -> `MBEAN`
+
+Permissions can be granted at any level of these hierarchies and they
+flow downwards. So granting a permission on a resource higher up the
+chain automatically grants that same permission on all resources lower
+down. For example, granting `SELECT` on a `KEYSPACE` automatically
+grants it on all `TABLES` in that `KEYSPACE`. Likewise, granting a
+permission on `ALL FUNCTIONS` grants it on every defined function,
+regardless of which keyspace it is scoped in. It is also possible to
+grant permissions on all functions scoped to a particular keyspace.
+
+Modifications to permissions are visible to existing client sessions;
+that is, connections need not be re-established following permissions
+changes.
+
+The full set of available permissions is:
+
+* `CREATE`
+* `ALTER`
+* `DROP`
+* `SELECT`
+* `MODIFY`
+* `AUTHORIZE`
+* `DESCRIBE`
+* `EXECUTE`
+* `UNMASK`
+* `SELECT_MASKED`
+
+Not all permissions are applicable to every type of resource. For
+instance, `EXECUTE` is only relevant in the context of functions or
+mbeans; granting `EXECUTE` on a resource representing a table is
+nonsensical. Attempting to `GRANT` a permission on resource to which it
+cannot be applied results in an error response. The following
+illustrates which permissions can be granted on which types of resource,
+and which statements are enabled by that permission.

+
+bc(sample). +
+GRANT DESCRIBE ON ALL ROLES TO role_admin;
+
+This grants any user with the `role_admin` role permission to view any

+
+[[grantAll]]
+===== GRANT ALL
+
+When the `GRANT ALL` form is used, the appropriate set of permissions is
+determined automatically based on the target resource.
+
+[[autoGrantPermissions]]
+===== Automatic Granting
+
+When a resource is created, via a `CREATE KEYSPACE`, `CREATE TABLE`,
+`CREATE FUNCTION`, `CREATE AGGREGATE` or `CREATE ROLE` statement, the
+creator (the role the database user who issues the statement is
+identified as), is automatically granted all applicable permissions on
+the new resource.

+
+bc(sample). +
+LIST ALL PERMISSIONS ON keyspace1.table1 OF bob;
+
+Show all permissions on `keyspace1.table1` granted to `bob`, including
+those acquired transitively from any other roles. This also includes any
+permissions higher up the resource hierarchy which can be applied to
+`keyspace1.table1`. For example, should `bob` have `ALTER` permission on
+`keyspace1`, that would be included in the results of this query. Adding
+the `NORECURSIVE` switch restricts the results to only those permissions
+which were directly granted to `bob` or one of `bob`’s roles.
+
+bc(sample). +
+LIST SELECT PERMISSIONS OF carlos;
+
+Show any permissions granted to `carlos` or any of `carlos`’s roles,

+
+[[types]]
+=== Data Types
+
+CQL supports a rich set of data types for columns defined in a table,
+including collection types. On top of those native +
+and collection types, users can also provide custom types (through a
+JAVA class extending `AbstractType` loadable by +
+Cassandra). The syntax of types is thus:
+
+bc(syntax).. +
+::=  +
+|  +
+|  +
+| // Used for custom types. The fully-qualified name of a JAVA class
+
+::= ascii +
+| bigint +

+| varint
+
+::= list `<' `>' +
+| set `<' `>' +
+| map `<' `,' `>' +
+::= tuple `<' (`,' )* `>' +
+p. Note that the native types are keywords and as such are
+case-insensitive. They are however not reserved ones.
+
+The following table gives additional informations on the native data
+types, and on which kind of link:#constants[constants] each type
+supports:
+
+[cols=",,",options="header",]
+|===

+
+For more information on how to use the collection types, see the
+link:#collections[Working with collections] section below.
+
+[[usingtimestamps]]
+==== Working with timestamps
+
+Values of the `timestamp` type are encoded as 64-bit signed integers
+representing a number of milliseconds since the standard base time known
+as ``the epoch'': January 1 1970 at 00:00:00 GMT.
+
+Timestamp can be input in CQL as simple long integers, giving the number
+of milliseconds since the epoch, as defined above.
+
+They can also be input as string literals in any of the following ISO
+8601 formats, each representing the time and date Mar 2, 2011, at
+04:05:00 AM, GMT.:
+
+* `2011-02-03 04:05+0000`
+* `2011-02-03 04:05:00+0000`
+* `2011-02-03 04:05:00.000+0000`
+* `2011-02-03T04:05+0000`
+* `2011-02-03T04:05:00+0000`
+* `2011-02-03T04:05:00.000+0000`
+
+The `+0000` above is an RFC 822 4-digit time zone specification; `+0000`
+refers to GMT. US Pacific Standard Time is `-0800`. The time zone may be
+omitted if desired— the date will be interpreted as being in the time
+zone under which the coordinating Cassandra node is configured.
+
+* `2011-02-03 04:05`
+* `2011-02-03 04:05:00`
+* `2011-02-03 04:05:00.000`
+* `2011-02-03T04:05`
+* `2011-02-03T04:05:00`
+* `2011-02-03T04:05:00.000`
+
+There are clear difficulties inherent in relying on the time zone
+configuration being as expected, though, so it is recommended that the
+time zone always be specified for timestamps when feasible.
+
+The time of day may also be omitted, if the date is the only piece that
+matters:
+
+* `2011-02-03`
+* `2011-02-03+0000`
+
+In that case, the time of day will default to 00:00:00, in the specified
+or default time zone.
+
+[[usingdates]]
+==== Working with dates
+
+Values of the `date` type are encoded as 32-bit unsigned integers
+representing a number of days with ``the epoch'' at the center of the
+range (2^31). Epoch is January 1st, 1970
+
+A date can be input in CQL as an unsigned integer as defined above.
+
+They can also be input as string literals in the following format:
+
+* `2014-01-01`
+
+[[usingtime]]
+==== Working with time
+
+Values of the `time` type are encoded as 64-bit signed integers
+representing the number of nanoseconds since midnight.
+
+A time can be input in CQL as simple long integers, giving the number of
+nanoseconds since midnight.
+
+They can also be input as string literals in any of the following
+formats:
+
+* `08:12:54`
+* `08:12:54.123`
+* `08:12:54.123456`
+* `08:12:54.123456789`
+
+==== Counters
+
+The `counter` type is used to define _counter columns_. A counter column
+is a column whose value is a 64-bit signed integer and on which 2
+operations are supported: incrementation and decrementation (see
+link:#updateStmt[`UPDATE`] for syntax). Note the value of a counter
+cannot be set. A counter doesn’t exist until first
+incremented/decremented, and the first incrementation/decrementation is
+made as if the previous value was 0. Deletion of counter columns is
+supported but have some limitations (see the
+http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/Counters[Cassandra Wiki] for more
+information).
+
+The use of the counter type is limited in the following way:
+
+* It cannot be used for column that is part of the `PRIMARY KEY` of a
+table.
+* A table that contains a counter can only contain counters. In other
+words, either all the columns of a table outside the `PRIMARY KEY` have
+the counter type, or none of them have it.
+
+[[collections]]
+==== Working with collections
+
+===== Noteworthy characteristics
+
+Collections are meant for storing/denormalizing relatively small amount
+of data. They work well for things like ``the phone numbers of a given
+user'', ``labels applied to an email'', etc. But when items are expected
+to grow unbounded (``all the messages sent by a given user'', ``events
+registered by a sensor'', …), then collections are not appropriate
+anymore and a specific table (with clustering columns) should be used.
+Concretely, collections have the following limitations:
+
+* Collections are always read in their entirety (and reading one is not
+paged internally).
+* Collections cannot have more than 65535 elements. More precisely,
+while it may be possible to insert more than 65535 elements, it is not
+possible to read more than the 65535 first elements (see
+https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5428[CASSANDRA-5428] for
+details).
+* While insertion operations on sets and maps never incur a
+read-before-write internally, some operations on lists do (see the
+section on lists below for details). It is thus advised to prefer sets
+over lists when possible.
+
+Please note that while some of those limitations may or may not be
+loosen in the future, the general rule that collections are for
+denormalizing small amount of data is meant to stay.
+
+[[map]]
+===== Maps
+
+A `map` is a link:#types[typed] set of key-value pairs, where keys are
+unique. Furthermore, note that the map are internally sorted by their
+keys and will thus always be returned in that order. To create a column
+of type `map`, use the `map` keyword suffixed with comma-separated key
+and value types, enclosed in angle brackets. For example:
+
+bc(sample). +
+CREATE TABLE users ( +
+id text PRIMARY KEY, +
+given text, +
+surname text, +
+favs map<text, text> // A map of text keys, and text values +
+)
+
+Writing `map` data is accomplished with a JSON-inspired syntax. To write
+a record using `INSERT`, specify the entire map as a JSON-style
+associative array. _Note: This form will always replace the entire map._
+
+bc(sample). +
+// Inserting (or Updating) +
+INSERT INTO users (id, given, surname, favs) +
+VALUES (`jsmith', `John', `Smith', \{ `fruit' : `apple', `band' :
+`Beatles' })
+
+Adding or updating key-values of a (potentially) existing map can be
+accomplished either by subscripting the map column in an `UPDATE`
+statement or by adding a new map literal:
+
+bc(sample). +
+// Updating (or inserting) +
+UPDATE users SET favs[`author'] = `Ed Poe' WHERE id = `jsmith' +
+UPDATE users SET favs = favs + \{ `movie' : `Cassablanca' } WHERE id =
+`jsmith'
+
+Note that TTLs are allowed for both `INSERT` and `UPDATE`, but in both
+case the TTL set only apply to the newly inserted/updated _values_. In
+other words,
+
+bc(sample). +
+// Updating (or inserting) +
+UPDATE users USING TTL 10 SET favs[`color'] = `green' WHERE id =
+`jsmith'
+
+will only apply the TTL to the `{ 'color' : 'green' }` record, the rest
+of the map remaining unaffected.
+
+Deleting a map record is done with:
+
+bc(sample). +
+DELETE favs[`author'] FROM users WHERE id = `jsmith'
+
+[[set]]
+===== Sets
+
+A `set` is a link:#types[typed] collection of unique values. Sets are
+ordered by their values. To create a column of type `set`, use the `set`
+keyword suffixed with the value type enclosed in angle brackets. For
+example:
+
+bc(sample). +
+CREATE TABLE images ( +
+name text PRIMARY KEY, +
+owner text, +
+date timestamp, +
+tags set +
+);
+
+Writing a `set` is accomplished by comma separating the set values, and
+enclosing them in curly braces. _Note: An `INSERT` will always replace
+the entire set._
+
+bc(sample). +
+INSERT INTO images (name, owner, date, tags) +
+VALUES (`cat.jpg', `jsmith', `now', \{ `kitten', `cat', `pet' });
+
+Adding and removing values of a set can be accomplished with an `UPDATE`
+by adding/removing new set values to an existing `set` column.
+
+bc(sample). +
+UPDATE images SET tags = tags + \{ `cute', `cuddly' } WHERE name =
+`cat.jpg'; +
+UPDATE images SET tags = tags - \{ `lame' } WHERE name = `cat.jpg';
+
+As with link:#map[maps], TTLs if used only apply to the newly
+inserted/updated _values_.
+
+[[list]]
+===== Lists
+
+A `list` is a link:#types[typed] collection of non-unique values where
+elements are ordered by there position in the list. To create a column
+of type `list`, use the `list` keyword suffixed with the value type
+enclosed in angle brackets. For example:
+
+bc(sample). +
+CREATE TABLE plays ( +
+id text PRIMARY KEY, +
+game text, +
+players int, +
+scores list +
+)
+
+Do note that as explained below, lists have some limitations and
+performance considerations to take into account, and it is advised to
+prefer link:#set[sets] over lists when this is possible.
+
+Writing `list` data is accomplished with a JSON-style syntax. To write a
+record using `INSERT`, specify the entire list as a JSON array. _Note:
+An `INSERT` will always replace the entire list._
+
+bc(sample). +
+INSERT INTO plays (id, game, players, scores) +
+VALUES (`123-afde', `quake', 3, [17, 4, 2]);
+
+Adding (appending or prepending) values to a list can be accomplished by
+adding a new JSON-style array to an existing `list` column.
+
+bc(sample). +
+UPDATE plays SET players = 5, scores = scores + [ 14, 21 ] WHERE id =
+`123-afde'; +
+UPDATE plays SET players = 5, scores = [ 12 ] + scores WHERE id =
+`123-afde';
+
+It should be noted that append and prepend are not idempotent
+operations. This means that if during an append or a prepend the
+operation timeout, it is not always safe to retry the operation (as this
+could result in the record appended or prepended twice).
+
+Lists also provides the following operation: setting an element by its
+position in the list, removing an element by its position in the list
+and remove all the occurrence of a given value in the list. _However,
+and contrarily to all the other collection operations, these three
+operations induce an internal read before the update, and will thus
+typically have slower performance characteristics_. Those operations
+have the following syntax:
+
+bc(sample). +
+UPDATE plays SET scores[1] = 7 WHERE id = `123-afde'; // sets the 2nd
+element of scores to 7 (raises an error is scores has less than 2
+elements) +
+DELETE scores[1] FROM plays WHERE id = `123-afde'; // deletes the 2nd
+element of scores (raises an error is scores has less than 2 elements) +
+UPDATE plays SET scores = scores - [ 12, 21 ] WHERE id = `123-afde'; //
+removes all occurrences of 12 and 21 from scores
+
+As with link:#map[maps], TTLs if used only apply to the newly
+inserted/updated _values_.
+
+=== Functions
+
+CQL3 distinguishes between built-in functions (so called `native
+functions') and link:#udfs[user-defined functions]. CQL3 includes
+several native functions, described below:
+
+[[castFun]]
+==== Cast
+
+The `cast` function can be used to converts one native datatype to
+another.
+
+The following table describes the conversions supported by the `cast`
+function. Cassandra will silently ignore any cast converting a datatype
+into its own datatype.
+
+[cols=",",options="header",]
+|===

+`varint`, `text`, `varchar`
+
+|`smallint` |`tinyint`, `int`, `bigint`, `float`, `double`, `decimal`,
+`varint`, `text`, `varchar`
+
+|`time` |`text`, `varchar`
+
+|`timestamp` |`date`, `text`, `varchar`
+
+|`timeuuid` |`timestamp`, `date`, `text`, `varchar`
+
+|`tinyint` |`tinyint`, `smallint`, `int`, `bigint`, `float`, `double`,

+
+|`uuid` |`text`, `varchar`
+
+|`varint` |`tinyint`, `smallint`, `int`, `bigint`, `float`, `double`,
+`decimal`, `text`, `varchar`
+|===
+
+The conversions rely strictly on Java’s semantics. For example, the
+double value 1 will be converted to the text value `1.0'.
+
+bc(sample). +
+SELECT avg(cast(count as double)) FROM myTable
+
+[[tokenFun]]
+==== Token
+
+The `token` function allows to compute the token for a given partition
+key. The exact signature of the token function depends on the table
+concerned and of the partitioner used by the cluster.
+
+The type of the arguments of the `token` depend on the type of the
+partition key columns. The return type depend on the partitioner in use:
+
+* For Murmur3Partitioner, the return type is `bigint`.
+* For RandomPartitioner, the return type is `varint`.
+* For ByteOrderedPartitioner, the return type is `blob`.
+
+For instance, in a cluster using the default Murmur3Partitioner, if a
+table is defined by
+
+bc(sample). +
+CREATE TABLE users ( +
+userid text PRIMARY KEY, +
+username text, +
+… +
+)
+
+then the `token` function will take a single argument of type `text` (in
+that case, the partition key is `userid` (there is no clustering columns
+so the partition key is the same than the primary key)), and the return
+type will be `bigint`.
+
+[[uuidFun]]
+==== Uuid
+
+The `uuid` function takes no parameters and generates a random type 4
+uuid suitable for use in INSERT or SET statements.
+
+[[timeuuidFun]]
+==== Timeuuid functions
+
+===== `now`
+
+The `now` function takes no arguments and generates, on the coordinator
+node, a new unique timeuuid (at the time where the statement using it is
+executed). Note that this method is useful for insertion but is largely
+non-sensical in `WHERE` clauses. For instance, a query of the form
+
+bc(sample). +
+SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE t = now()
+
+will never return any result by design, since the value returned by
+`now()` is guaranteed to be unique.
+
+===== `min_timeuuid` and `max_timeuuid`
+
+The `min_timeuuid` (resp. `max_timeuuid`) function takes a `timestamp`
+value `t` (which can be link:#usingtimestamps[either a timestamp or a
+date string] ) and return a _fake_ `timeuuid` corresponding to the
+_smallest_ (resp. _biggest_) possible `timeuuid` having for timestamp
+`t`. So for instance:
+
+bc(sample). +
+SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE t > max_timeuuid(`2013-01-01 00:05+0000') AND
+t < min_timeuuid(`2013-02-02 10:00+0000')
+
+will select all rows where the `timeuuid` column `t` is strictly older
+than `2013-01-01 00:05+0000' but strictly younger than `2013-02-02
+10:00+0000'. Please note that
+`t >= max_timeuuid('2013-01-01 00:05+0000')` would still _not_ select a
+`timeuuid` generated exactly at `2013-01-01 00:05+0000' and is
+essentially equivalent to `t > max_timeuuid('2013-01-01 00:05+0000')`.
+
+_Warning_: We called the values generated by `min_timeuuid` and
+`max_timeuuid` _fake_ UUID because they do no respect the Time-Based UUID
+generation process specified by the
+http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4122.txt[RFC 4122]. In particular, the value
+returned by these 2 methods will not be unique. This means you should
+only use those methods for querying (as in the example above). Inserting
+the result of those methods is almost certainly _a bad idea_.
+
+[[timeFun]]
+==== Time conversion functions
+
+A number of functions are provided to ``convert'' a `timeuuid`, a
+`timestamp` or a `date` into another `native` type.
+
+[cols=",,",options="header",]
+|===
+|function name |input type |description
+|`to_date` |`timeuuid` |Converts the `timeuuid` argument into a `date`
+type
+
+|`to_date` |`timestamp` |Converts the `timestamp` argument into a `date`
+type
+
+|`to_timestamp` |`timeuuid` |Converts the `timeuuid` argument into a
+`timestamp` type
+
+|`to_timestamp` |`date` |Converts the `date` argument into a `timestamp`
+type
+
+|`to_unix_timestamp` |`timeuuid` |Converts the `timeuuid` argument into a
+`bigInt` raw value
+
+|`to_unix_timestamp` |`timestamp` |Converts the `timestamp` argument into
+a `bigInt` raw value
+
+|`to_unix_timestamp` |`date` |Converts the `date` argument into a `bigInt`
+raw value
+|===
+
+[[blobFun]]
+==== Blob conversion functions
+
+A number of functions are provided to ``convert'' the native types into
+binary data (`blob`). For every `<native-type>` `type` supported by CQL3
+(a notable exceptions is `blob`, for obvious reasons), the function
+`type_as_blob` takes a argument of type `type` and return it as a `blob`.
+Conversely, the function `blob_as_type` takes a 64-bit `blob` argument and
+convert it to a `bigint` value. And so for instance, `bigint_as_blob(3)`
+is `0x0000000000000003` and `blob_as_bigint(0x0000000000000003)` is `3`.
+
+=== Aggregates
+
+Aggregate functions work on a set of rows. They receive values for each
+row and returns one value for the whole set. +
+If `normal` columns, `scalar functions`, `UDT` fields, `writetime`, `maxwritetime`
+or `ttl` are selected together with aggregate functions, the values
+returned for them will be the ones of the first row matching the query.
+
+CQL3 distinguishes between built-in aggregates (so called `native
+aggregates') and link:#udas[user-defined aggregates]. CQL3 includes
+several native aggregates, described below:
+
+[[countFct]]
+==== Count
+
+The `count` function can be used to count the rows returned by a query.
+Example:
+
+bc(sample). +
+SELECT COUNT (*) FROM plays; +
+SELECT COUNT (1) FROM plays;
+
+It also can be used to count the non null value of a given column.
+Example:
+
+bc(sample). +
+SELECT COUNT (scores) FROM plays;
+
+[[maxMinFcts]]
+==== Max and Min
+
+The `max` and `min` functions can be used to compute the maximum and the
+minimum value returned by a query for a given column.
+
+bc(sample). +
+SELECT MIN (players), MAX (players) FROM plays WHERE game = `quake';
+
+[[sumFct]]
+==== Sum
+
+The `sum` function can be used to sum up all the values returned by a
+query for a given column.
+
+bc(sample). +
+SELECT SUM (players) FROM plays;
+
+[[avgFct]]
+==== Avg
+
+The `avg` function can be used to compute the average of all the values
+returned by a query for a given column.
+
+bc(sample). +
+SELECT AVG (players) FROM plays;
+
+[[udfs]]
+=== User-Defined Functions
+
+User-defined functions allow execution of user-provided code in
+Cassandra. By default, Cassandra supports defining functions in _Java_
+and _JavaScript_. Support for other JSR 223 compliant scripting
+languages (such as Python, Ruby, and Scala) has been removed in 3.0.11.
+
+UDFs are part of the Cassandra schema. As such, they are automatically
+propagated to all nodes in the cluster.
+
+UDFs can be _overloaded_ - i.e. multiple UDFs with different argument
+types but the same function name. Example:
+
+bc(sample). +
+CREATE FUNCTION sample ( arg int ) …; +
+CREATE FUNCTION sample ( arg text ) …;
+
+User-defined functions are susceptible to all of the normal problems
+with the chosen programming language. Accordingly, implementations
+should be safe against null pointer exceptions, illegal arguments, or
+any other potential source of exceptions. An exception during function
+execution will result in the entire statement failing.
+
+It is valid to use _complex_ types like collections, tuple types and
+user-defined types as argument and return types. Tuple types and
+user-defined types are handled by the conversion functions of the
+DataStax Java Driver. Please see the documentation of the Java Driver
+for details on handling tuple types and user-defined types.
+
+Arguments for functions can be literals or terms. Prepared statement
+placeholders can be used, too.
+
+Note that you can use the double-quoted string syntax to enclose the UDF
+source code. For example:
+
+bc(sample).. +
+CREATE FUNCTION some_function ( arg int ) +
+RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT +
+RETURNS int +
+LANGUAGE java +
+AS $$ return arg; $$;
+
+SELECT some_function(column) FROM atable …; +
+UPDATE atable SET col = some_function(?) …; +
+p.
+
+bc(sample). +
+CREATE TYPE custom_type (txt text, i int); +
+CREATE FUNCTION fct_using_udt ( udtarg frozen ) +
+RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT +
+RETURNS text +
+LANGUAGE java +
+AS $$ return udtarg.getString(``txt''); $$;
+
+User-defined functions can be used in link:#selectStmt[`SELECT`],
+link:#insertStmt[`INSERT`] and link:#updateStmt[`UPDATE`] statements.
+
+The implicitly available `udfContext` field (or binding for script UDFs)
+provides the neccessary functionality to create new UDT and tuple
+values.
+
+bc(sample). +
+CREATE TYPE custom_type (txt text, i int); +
+CREATE FUNCTION fct_using_udt ( somearg int ) +
+RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT +
+RETURNS custom_type +
+LANGUAGE java +
+AS $$ +
+UDTValue udt = udfContext.newReturnUDTValue(); +
+udt.setString(``txt'', ``some string''); +
+udt.setInt(``i'', 42); +
+return udt; +
+$$;
+
+The definition of the `UDFContext` interface can be found in the Apache
+Cassandra source code for
+`org.apache.cassandra.cql3.functions.UDFContext`.
+
+bc(sample). +
+public interface UDFContext +
+\{ +
+UDTValue newArgUDTValue(String argName); +
+UDTValue newArgUDTValue(int argNum); +
+UDTValue newReturnUDTValue(); +
+UDTValue newUDTValue(String udtName); +
+TupleValue newArgTupleValue(String argName); +
+TupleValue newArgTupleValue(int argNum); +
+TupleValue newReturnTupleValue(); +
+TupleValue newTupleValue(String cqlDefinition); +
+}
+
+Java UDFs already have some imports for common interfaces and classes
+defined. These imports are: +
+Please note, that these convenience imports are not available for script
+UDFs.
+
+bc(sample). +
+import java.nio.ByteBuffer; +
+import java.util.List; +
+import java.util.Map; +
+import java.util.Set; +
+import org.apache.cassandra.cql3.functions.UDFContext; +
+import com.datastax.driver.core.TypeCodec; +
+import com.datastax.driver.core.TupleValue; +
+import com.datastax.driver.core.UDTValue;

+See link:#createFunctionStmt[`CREATE FUNCTION`] and
+link:#dropFunctionStmt[`DROP FUNCTION`].
+
+[[udas]]
+=== User-Defined Aggregates
+
+User-defined aggregates allow creation of custom aggregate functions
+using link:#udfs[UDFs]. Common examples of aggregate functions are
+_count_, _min_, and _max_.
+
+Each aggregate requires an _initial state_ (`INITCOND`, which defaults
+to `null`) of type `STYPE`. The first argument of the state function
+must have type `STYPE`. The remaining arguments of the state function
+must match the types of the user-defined aggregate arguments. The state
+function is called once for each row, and the value returned by the
+state function becomes the new state. After all rows are processed, the
+optional `FINALFUNC` is executed with last state value as its argument.
+
+`STYPE` is mandatory in order to be able to distinguish possibly
+overloaded versions of the state and/or final function (since the
+overload can appear after creation of the aggregate).
+
+User-defined aggregates can be used in link:#selectStmt[`SELECT`]
+statement.
+
+A complete working example for user-defined aggregates (assuming that a
+keyspace has been selected using the link:#useStmt[`USE`] statement):
+
+bc(sample).. +
+CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION averageState ( state tuple<int,bigint>, val
+int ) +
+CALLED ON NULL INPUT +
+RETURNS tuple<int,bigint> +
+LANGUAGE java +
+AS ’ +
+if (val != null) \{ +
+state.setInt(0, state.getInt(0)+1); +
+state.setLong(1, state.getLong(1)+val.intValue()); +
+} +
+return state; +
+’;
+
+CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION averageFinal ( state tuple<int,bigint> ) +
+CALLED ON NULL INPUT +
+RETURNS double +
+LANGUAGE java +
+AS ’ +
+double r = 0; +
+if (state.getInt(0) == 0) return null; +
+r = state.getLong(1); +
+r /= state.getInt(0); +
+return Double.valueOf®; +
+’;
+
+CREATE OR REPLACE AGGREGATE average ( int ) +
+SFUNC averageState +
+STYPE tuple<int,bigint> +
+FINALFUNC averageFinal +
+INITCOND (0, 0);
+
+CREATE TABLE atable ( +
+pk int PRIMARY KEY, +
+val int); +
+INSERT INTO atable (pk, val) VALUES (1,1); +
+INSERT INTO atable (pk, val) VALUES (2,2); +
+INSERT INTO atable (pk, val) VALUES (3,3); +
+INSERT INTO atable (pk, val) VALUES (4,4); +
+SELECT average(val) FROM atable; +
+p.
+
+See link:#createAggregateStmt[`CREATE AGGREGATE`] and
+link:#dropAggregateStmt[`DROP AGGREGATE`].
+
+[[json]]
+=== JSON Support
+
+Cassandra 2.2 introduces JSON support to link:#selectStmt[`SELECT`] and
+link:#insertStmt[`INSERT`] statements. This support does not
+fundamentally alter the CQL API (for example, the schema is still
+enforced), it simply provides a convenient way to work with JSON
+documents.
+
+[[selectJson]]
+==== SELECT JSON
+
+With `SELECT` statements, the new `JSON` keyword can be used to return
+each row as a single `JSON` encoded map. The remainder of the `SELECT`
+statment behavior is the same.
+
+The result map keys are the same as the column names in a normal result
+set. For example, a statement like ```SELECT JSON a, ttl(b) FROM ...`''
+would result in a map with keys `"a"` and `"ttl(b)"`. However, this is
+one notable exception: for symmetry with `INSERT JSON` behavior,
+case-sensitive column names with upper-case letters will be surrounded
+with double quotes. For example, ```SELECT JSON myColumn FROM ...`''
+would result in a map key `"\"myColumn\""` (note the escaped quotes).
+
+The map values will `JSON`-encoded representations (as described below)
+of the result set values.
+
+[[insertJson]]
+==== INSERT JSON
+
+With `INSERT` statements, the new `JSON` keyword can be used to enable
+inserting a `JSON` encoded map as a single row. The format of the `JSON`
+map should generally match that returned by a `SELECT JSON` statement on
+the same table. In particular, case-sensitive column names should be
+surrounded with double quotes. For example, to insert into a table with
+two columns named ``myKey'' and ``value'', you would do the following:
+
+bc(sample). +
+INSERT INTO mytable JSON `\{``\''myKey\``'': 0, ``value'': 0}'
+
+Any columns which are ommitted from the `JSON` map will be defaulted to
+a `NULL` value (which will result in a tombstone being created).
+
+[[jsonEncoding]]
+==== JSON Encoding of Cassandra Data Types
+
+Where possible, Cassandra will represent and accept data types in their
+native `JSON` representation. Cassandra will also accept string
+representations matching the CQL literal format for all single-field
+types. For example, floats, ints, UUIDs, and dates can be represented by
+CQL literal strings. However, compound types, such as collections,
+tuples, and user-defined types must be represented by native `JSON`
+collections (maps and lists) or a JSON-encoded string representation of
+the collection.
+
+The following table describes the encodings that Cassandra will accept
+in `INSERT JSON` values (and `from_json()` arguments) as well as the
+format Cassandra will use when returning data for `SELECT JSON`
+statements (and `from_json()`):
+

+
+[[from_json]]
+==== The from_json() Function
+
+The `from_json()` function may be used similarly to `INSERT JSON`, but
+for a single column value. It may only be used in the `VALUES` clause of
+an `INSERT` statement or as one of the column values in an `UPDATE`,
+`DELETE`, or `SELECT` statement. For example, it cannot be used in the
+selection clause of a `SELECT` statement.
+
+[[to_json]]
+==== The to_json() Function
+
+The `to_json()` function may be used similarly to `SELECT JSON`, but for
+a single column value. It may only be used in the selection clause of a
+`SELECT` statement.
+
+[[appendixA]]
+=== 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
+identifer 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.

+(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7396)[CASSANDRA-7396].
+
+==== 3.4.2
+
+* link:#updateOptions[`INSERT/UPDATE options`] for tables having a
+default_time_to_live specifying a TTL of 0 will remove the TTL from the
+inserted or updated values
+* link:#alterTableStmt[`ALTER TABLE`] `ADD` and `DROP` now allow mutiple

+* link:#udfs[User-defined functions] can now instantiate `UDTValue` and
+`TupleValue` instances via the new `UDFContext` interface (see
+https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10818)[CASSANDRA-10818].
+* ``User-defined types''#createTypeStmt may now be stored in a
+non-frozen form, allowing individual fields to be updated and deleted in
+link:#updateStmt[`UPDATE` statements] and link:#deleteStmt[`DELETE`
+statements], respectively.
+(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7423)[CASSANDRA-7423]
+

+`TRUNCATE X`
+
+==== 3.3.0
+
+* Adds new link:#aggregates[aggregates]
+* User-defined functions are now supported through
+link:#createFunctionStmt[`CREATE FUNCTION`] and
+link:#dropFunctionStmt[`DROP FUNCTION`].
+* User-defined aggregates are now supported through
+link:#createAggregateStmt[`CREATE AGGREGATE`] and
+link:#dropAggregateStmt[`DROP AGGREGATE`].
+* Allows double-dollar enclosed strings literals as an alternative to
+single-quote enclosed strings.

+been added
+* link:#json[`JSON`] support has been added
+* `Tinyint` and `Smallint` data types have been added
+* Adds new time conversion functions and deprecate `dateOf` and
+`unixTimestampOf`. See link:#timeFun[`Time conversion functions`]
+
+==== 3.2.0
+
+* User-defined types are now supported through
+link:#createTypeStmt[`CREATE TYPE`], link:#alterTypeStmt[`ALTER TYPE`],
+and link:#dropTypeStmt[`DROP TYPE`]
+* link:#createIndexStmt[`CREATE INDEX`] now supports indexing collection
+columns, including indexing the keys of map collections through the
+`keys()` function
+* Indexes on collections may be queried using the new `CONTAINS` and
+`CONTAINS KEY` operators
+* Tuple types were added to hold fixed-length sets of typed positional
+fields (see the section on link:#types[types] )
+* link:#dropIndexStmt[`DROP INDEX`] now supports optionally specifying a
+keyspace
+
+==== 3.1.7
+
+* `SELECT` statements now support selecting multiple rows in a single
+partition using an `IN` clause on combinations of clustering columns.
+See link:#selectWhere[SELECT WHERE] clauses.
+* `IF NOT EXISTS` and `IF EXISTS` syntax is now supported by
+`CREATE USER` and `DROP USER` statmenets, respectively.
+
+==== 3.1.6
+
+* A new link:#uuidFun[`uuid` method] has been added.
+* Support for `DELETE ... IF EXISTS` syntax.
+
+==== 3.1.5
+
+* It is now possible to group clustering columns in a relatiion, see
+link:#selectWhere[SELECT WHERE] clauses.
+* Added support for `STATIC` columns, see link:#createTableStatic[static
+in CREATE TABLE].
+
+==== 3.1.4
+
+* `CREATE INDEX` now allows specifying options when creating CUSTOM
+indexes (see link:#createIndexStmt[CREATE INDEX reference] ).
+
+==== 3.1.3
+
+* Millisecond precision formats have been added to the timestamp parser
+(see link:#usingtimestamps[working with dates] ).
+
+==== 3.1.2
+
+* `NaN` and `Infinity` has been added as valid float contants. They are
+now reserved keywords. In the unlikely case you we using them as a
+column identifier (or keyspace/table one), you will noew need to double
+quote them (see link:#identifiers[quote identifiers] ).
+
+==== 3.1.1
+
+* `SELECT` statement now allows listing the partition keys (using the
+`DISTINCT` modifier). See
+https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4536[CASSANDRA-4536].
+* The syntax `c IN ?` is now supported in `WHERE` clauses. In that case,
+the value expected for the bind variable will be a list of whatever type
+`c` is.
+* It is now possible to use named bind variables (using `:name` instead
+of `?`).
+
+==== 3.1.0
+
+* link:#alterTableStmt[ALTER TABLE] `DROP` option has been reenabled for
+CQL3 tables and has new semantics now: the space formerly used by
+dropped columns will now be eventually reclaimed (post-compaction). You
+should not readd previously dropped columns unless you use timestamps
+with microsecond precision (see
+https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3919[CASSANDRA-3919] for
+more details).
+* `SELECT` statement now supports aliases in select clause. Aliases in
+WHERE and ORDER BY clauses are not supported. See the
+link:#selectStmt[section on select] for details.
+* `CREATE` statements for `KEYSPACE`, `TABLE` and `INDEX` now supports
+an `IF NOT EXISTS` condition. Similarly, `DROP` statements support a
+`IF EXISTS` condition.
+* `INSERT` statements optionally supports a `IF NOT EXISTS` condition
+and `UPDATE` supports `IF` conditions.
+
+==== 3.0.5
+
+* `SELECT`, `UPDATE`, and `DELETE` statements now allow empty `IN`
+relations (see
+https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5626)[CASSANDRA-5626].
+
+==== 3.0.4
+
+* Updated the syntax for custom link:#createIndexStmt[secondary
+indexes].
+* Non-equal condition on the partition key are now never supported, even
+for ordering partitioner as this was not correct (the order was *not*
+the one of the type of the partition key). Instead, the `token` method
+should always be used for range queries on the partition key (see
+link:#selectWhere[WHERE clauses] ).
+
+==== 3.0.3
+
+* Support for custom link:#createIndexStmt[secondary indexes] has been
+added.
+
+==== 3.0.2
+
+* Type validation for the link:#constants[constants] has been fixed. For
+instance, the implementation used to allow `'2'` as a valid value for an
+`int` column (interpreting it has the equivalent of `2`), or `42` as a
+valid `blob` value (in which case `42` was interpreted as an hexadecimal
+representation of the blob). This is no longer the case, type validation
+of constants is now more strict. See the link:#types[data types] section
+for details on which constant is allowed for which type.
+* The type validation fixed of the previous point has lead to the
+introduction of link:#constants[blobs constants] to allow inputing
+blobs. Do note that while inputing blobs as strings constant is still
+supported by this version (to allow smoother transition to blob
+constant), it is now deprecated (in particular the link:#types[data
+types] section does not list strings constants as valid blobs) and will
+be removed by a future version. If you were using strings as blobs, you
+should thus update your client code ASAP to switch blob constants.
+* A number of functions to convert native types to blobs have also been
+introduced. Furthermore the token function is now also allowed in select
+clauses. See the link:#functions[section on functions] for details.
+
+==== 3.0.1
+
+* link:#usingtimestamps[Date strings] (and timestamps) are no longer
+accepted as valid `timeuuid` values. Doing so was a bug in the sense
+that date string are not valid `timeuuid`, and it was thus resulting in

+behaviors]. However, the following new methods have been added to help
+working with `timeuuid`: `now`, `minTimeuuid`, `maxTimeuuid` , `dateOf`
+and `unixTimestampOf`. See the link:#timeuuidFun[section dedicated to

+=== Versioning
+
+Versioning of the CQL language adheres to the http://semver.org[Semantic
+Versioning] guidelines. Versions take the form X.Y.Z where X, Y, and Z
+are integer values representing major, minor, and patch level
+respectively. There is no correlation between Cassandra release versions
+and the CQL language version.
+
+[cols=",",options="header",]
+|===
+|version |description
+|Major |The major version _must_ be bumped when backward incompatible
+changes are introduced. This should rarely occur.
+
+|Minor |Minor version increments occur when new, but backward
+compatible, functionality is introduced.
+
+|Patch |The patch version is incremented when bugs are fixed.

+= Data Definition
+:tabs:
+
+CQL stores data in _tables_, whose schema defines the layout of the
+data in the table. Tables are located in _keyspaces_. 
+A keyspace defines options that apply to all the keyspace's tables. 
+The xref:cql/ddl.adoc#replication-strategy[replication strategy]
+is an important keyspace option, as is the replication factor. 
+A good general rule is one keyspace per application.
+It is common for a cluster to define only one keyspace for an active application.
+
+This section describes the statements used to create, modify, and remove
+those keyspace and tables.
+
+== Common definitions
+
+The names of the keyspaces and tables are defined by the following
+grammar:
+
+[source,bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/ks_table.bnf[]
+----
+
+Both keyspace and table name should be comprised of only alphanumeric
+characters, cannot be empty and are limited in size to 48 characters
+(that limit exists mostly to avoid filenames (which may include the
+keyspace and table name) to go over the limits of certain file systems).
+By default, keyspace and table names are case-insensitive (`myTable` is
+equivalent to `mytable`) but case sensitivity can be forced by using
+double-quotes (`"myTable"` is different from `mytable`).
+
+Further, a table is always part of a keyspace and a table name can be
+provided fully-qualified by the keyspace it is part of. If is is not
+fully-qualified, the table is assumed to be in the _current_ keyspace
+(see xref:cql/ddl.adoc#use-statement[USE] statement).
+
+Further, the valid names for columns are defined as:
+
+[source,bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/column.bnf[]
+----
+
+We also define the notion of statement options for use in the following
+section:
+
+[source,bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/options.bnf[]
+----
+
+[[create-keyspace-statement]]
+== CREATE KEYSPACE
+
+A keyspace is created with a `CREATE KEYSPACE` statement:
+
+[source,bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/create_ks.bnf[]
+----
+
+For example:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/create_ks.cql[]
+----
+
+Attempting to create a keyspace that already exists will return an error
+unless the `IF NOT EXISTS` option is used. If it is used, the statement
+will be a no-op if the keyspace already exists.
+
+The supported `options` are:
+
+[cols=",,,,",options="header",]
+|===
+|name | kind | mandatory | default | description
+|`replication` | _map_ | yes | n/a | The replication strategy and options to use for the keyspace (see
+details below).
+|`durable_writes` | _simple_ | no | true | Whether to use the commit log for updates on this keyspace (disable this
+option at your own risk!).
+|===
+
+The `replication` property is mandatory and must contain the `'class'` sub-option that defines the desired
+xref:cql/ddl.adoc#replication-strategy[replication strategy] class. 
+The rest of the sub-options depend on which replication strategy is used. 
+By default, Cassandra supports the following `'class'` values:
+
+[[replication-strategy]]
+=== `SimpleStrategy`
+
+A simple strategy that defines a replication factor for data to be
+spread across the entire cluster. This is generally not a wise choice
+for production, as it does not respect datacenter layouts and can
+lead to wildly varying query latency. For production, use
+`NetworkTopologyStrategy`. `SimpleStrategy` supports a single
+mandatory argument:
+
+[cols=",,,",options="header",]
+|===
+|sub-option |type |since |description
+|`'replication_factor'` | int | all | The number of replicas to store per range
+|===
+
+=== `NetworkTopologyStrategy`
+
+A production-ready replication strategy that sets the
+replication factor independently for each data-center. The rest of the
+sub-options are key-value pairs, with a key set to a data-center name and
+its value set to the associated replication factor. Options:
+
+[cols=",,,",options="header",]
+|===
+|sub-option |type |description
+|`'<datacenter>'` | int | The number of replicas to store per range in the provided datacenter.
+|`'replication_factor'` | int | The number of replicas to use as a default per datacenter if not
+specifically provided. Note that this always defers to existing
+definitions or explicit datacenter settings. For example, to have three
+replicas per datacenter, set a value of 3.
+|===
+
+When later altering keyspaces and changing the `replication_factor`,
+auto-expansion will only _add_ new datacenters for safety, it will not
+alter existing datacenters or remove any, even if they are no longer in
+the cluster. If you want to remove datacenters while setting the 
+`replication_factor`, explicitly zero out the datacenter you want to
+have zero replicas.
+
+An example of auto-expanding datacenters with two datacenters: `DC1` and
+`DC2`:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/autoexpand_ks.cql[]
+----
+will result in:
+[source,plaintext]
+----
+include::example$RESULTS/autoexpand_ks.result[]
+----
+
+An example of auto-expanding and overriding a datacenter:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/autoexpand_ks_override.cql[]
+----
+will result in:
+[source,plaintext]
+----
+include::example$RESULTS/autoexpand_ks_override.result[]
+----
+
+An example that excludes a datacenter while using `replication_factor`:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/autoexpand_exclude_dc.cql[]
+----
+will result in:
+[source,plaintext]
+----
+include::example$RESULTS/autoexpand_exclude_dc.result[]
+----
+
+If xref:new/transientreplication.adoc[transient replication] has been enabled, transient replicas can be
+configured for both `SimpleStrategy` and `NetworkTopologyStrategy` by
+defining replication factors in the format
+`'<total_replicas>/<transient_replicas>'`
+
+For instance, this keyspace will have 3 replicas in DC1, 1 of which is
+transient, and 5 replicas in DC2, 2 of which are transient:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/create_ks_trans_repl.cql[]
+----
+
+[[use-statement]]
+== USE
+
+The `USE` statement changes the _current_ keyspace to the specified keyspace. 
+A number of objects in CQL are bound to a keyspace (tables, user-defined types, functions, etc.) and the
+current keyspace is the default keyspace used when those objects are
+referred to in a query without a fully-qualified name (without a prefixed keyspace name). 
+A `USE` statement specifies the keyspace to use as an argument:
+
+[source,bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/use_ks.bnf[]
+----
+Using CQL:
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/use_ks.cql[]
+----
+
+[[alter-keyspace-statement]]
+== ALTER KEYSPACE
+
+An `ALTER KEYSPACE` statement modifies the options of a keyspace:
+
+[source,bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/alter_ks.bnf[]
+----
+
+For example:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/alter_ks.cql[]
+----
+If the keyspace does not exist, the statement will return an error, unless `IF EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
+The supported options are the same as for xref:cql/ddl.adoc#create-keyspace-statement[creating a keyspace].
+
+[[drop-keyspace-statement]]
+== DROP KEYSPACE
+
+Dropping a keyspace is done with the `DROP KEYSPACE` statement:
+
+[source,bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/drop_ks.bnf[]
+----
+
+For example:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/drop_ks.cql[]
+----
+
+Dropping a keyspace results in the immediate, irreversible removal of
+that keyspace, including all the tables, user-defined types, user-defined functions, and
+all the data contained in those tables.
+
+If the keyspace does not exists, the statement will return an error,
+unless `IF EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
+
+[[create-table-statement]]
+== CREATE TABLE
+
+Creating a new table uses the `CREATE TABLE` statement:
+
+[source,bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/create_table.bnf[]
+----
+
+For example, here are some CQL statements to create tables:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/create_table.cql[]
+----
+
+A CQL table has a name and is composed of a set of _rows_. 
+Creating a table amounts to defining which xref:cql/ddl.adoc#column-definition[columns] each rows will have, 
+which of those columns comprise the xref:cql/ddl.adoc#primary-key[primary key], as well as defined
+xref:cql/ddl.adoc#create-table-options[options] for the table.
+
+Attempting to create an already existing table will return an error
+unless the `IF NOT EXISTS` directive is used. If it is used, the
+statement will be a no-op if the table already exists.
+
+[[column-definition]]
+=== Column definitions
+
+Every row in a CQL table will have the predefined columns defined at table creation. 
+Columns can be added later using an xref:cql/ddl.adoc#alter-table-statement[alter statement].
+
+A `column_definition` is comprised of the name of the column and its xref:cql/ddl.adoc#data-type[type], 
+restricting the  values that are accepted for that column. Additionally, a column definition can have the
+following modifiers:
+
+* `STATIC`: declares the column as a xref:cql/ddl.adoc#static-column[static column]
+* `PRIMARY KEY`: declares the column as the sole component of the xref:cql/ddl.adoc#primary-key[primary key] of the table
+
+[[static-column]]
+==== Static columns
+
+Some columns can be declared as `STATIC` in a table definition. A column
+that is static will be “shared” by all the rows belonging to the same
+partition (having the same xref:cql/ddl.adoc#partition-key[partition key]. 
+
+For example:
+
+[{tabs}] 
+==== 
+Code:: 
++ 
+-- 
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/create_static_column.cql[]
+include::example$CQL/insert_static_data.cql[]
+include::example$CQL/select_static_data.cql[]
+----
+--
+
+Results::
++
+--
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$RESULTS/select_static_data.result[]
+----
+--
+====
+
+As can be seen, the `s` value is the same (`static1`) for both of the
+rows in the partition (the partition key being `pk`, and both
+rows are in the same partition): the second insertion overrides the
+value for `s`.
+
+The use of static columns has the following restrictions:
+
+* A table without clustering columns cannot have static columns. 
+In a table without clustering columns, every partition has only one row, and
+so every column is inherently static)
+* Only non-primary key columns can be static.
+
+[[primary-key]]
+=== The Primary key
+
+Within a table, a row is uniquely identified by its `PRIMARY KEY`, and
+hence all tables *must* define a single PRIMARY KEY. 
+A `PRIMARY KEY` is composed of one or more of the defined columns in the table. 
+Syntactically, the primary key is defined with the phrase `PRIMARY KEY` 
+followed by a comma-separated list of the column names within parenthesis.
+If the primary key has only one column, you can alternatively add the `PRIMARY KEY` phrase to
+that column in the table definition. 
+The order of the columns in the primary key definition defines the partition key and 
+clustering columns.
+
+A CQL primary key is composed of two parts:
+
+xref:cql/ddl.adoc#partition-key[partition key]::
+* It is the first component of the primary key definition. 
+It can be a single column or, using an additional set of parenthesis, can be multiple columns. 
+A table must have at least one partition key, the smallest possible table definition is:
++
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/create_table_single_pk.cql[]
+----
+xref:cql/ddl.adoc#clustering-columns[clustering columns]::
+* The columns are the columns that follow the partition key in the primary key definition.
+The order of those columns define the _clustering order_.
+
+Some examples of primary key definition are:
+
+* `PRIMARY KEY (a)`: `a` is the single partition key and there are no clustering columns
+* `PRIMARY KEY (a, b, c)` : `a` is the single partition key and `b` and `c` are the clustering columns
+* `PRIMARY KEY ((a, b), c)` : `a` and `b` compose the _composite_ partition key and `c` is the clustering column
+
+[IMPORTANT]
+====
+The primary key uniquely identifies a row in the table, as described above. 
+A consequence of this uniqueness is that if another row is inserted using the same primary key, 
+then an `UPSERT` occurs and an existing row with the same primary key is replaced. 
+Columns that are not part of the primary key cannot define uniqueness.
+====
+
+[[partition-key]]
+==== Partition key
+
+Within a table, CQL defines the notion of a _partition_ that defines the location of data within a Cassandra cluster.
+A partition is the set of rows that share the same value for their partition key. 
+
+Note that if the partition key is composed of multiple columns, then rows belong to the same partition 
+when they have the same values for all those partition key columns. 
+A hash is computed from the partition key columns and that hash value defines the partition location.
+So, for instance, given the following table definition and content:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/create_table_compound_pk.cql[]
+include::example$CQL/insert_table_compound_pk.cql[]
+include::example$CQL/select_table_compound_pk.cql[]
+----
+
+will result in
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$RESULTS/select_table_compound_pk.result[]
+----
+<1> Rows 1 and 2 are in the same partition, because both columns `a` and `b` are zero.
+<2> Rows 3 and 4 are in the same partition, but a different one, because column `a` is zero and column `b` is 1 in both rows.
+<3> Row 5 is in a third partition by itself, because both columns `a` and `b` are 1.
+
+Note that a table always has a partition key, and that if the table has
+no `clustering columns`, then every partition of that table has a single row.
+because the partition key, compound or otherwise, identifies a single location.
+
+The most important property of partition is that all the rows belonging
+to the same partition are guaranteed to be stored on the same set of
+replica nodes. 
+In other words, the partition key of a table defines which rows will be localized on the same 
+node in the cluster. 
+The localization of data is important to the efficient retrieval of data, requiring the Cassandra coordinator
+to contact as few nodes as possible.
+However, there is a flip-side to this guarantee, and all rows sharing a partition key will be stored on the same 
+node, creating a hotspot for both reading and writing.
+While selecting a primary key that groups table rows assists batch updates and can ensure that the updates are 
+_atomic_ and done in _isolation_, the partitions must be sized "just right, not too big nor too small".
+
+Data modeling that considers the querying patterns and assigns primary keys based on the queries will have the lowest 
+latency in fetching data.
+
+[[clustering-columns]]
+==== Clustering columns
+
+The clustering columns of a table define the clustering order for the partition of that table. 
+For a given `partition`, all rows are ordered by that clustering order. Clustering columns also add uniqueness to
+a row in a table.
+
+For instance, given:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/create_table_clustercolumn.cql[]
+include::example$CQL/insert_table_clustercolumn.cql[]
+include::example$CQL/select_table_clustercolumn.cql[]
+----
+
+will result in
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$RESULTS/select_table_clustercolumn.result[]
+----
+<1> Row 1 is in one partition, and Rows 2-5 are in a different one. The display order is also different.
+
+Looking more closely at the four rows in the same partition, the `b` clustering column defines the order in which those rows 
+are displayed. 
+Whereas the partition key of the table groups rows on the same node, the clustering columns control 
+how those rows are stored on the node. 
+
+That sorting allows the very efficient retrieval of a range of rows within a partition:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/select_range.cql[]
+----
+
+will result in
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$RESULTS/select_range.result[]
+----
+
+[[create-table-options]]
+=== Table options
+
+A CQL table has a number of options that can be set at creation (and,
+for most of them, altered later). These options are specified after the
+`WITH` keyword.
+
+One important option that cannot be changed after creation, `CLUSTERING ORDER BY`, influences how queries can be done against the table. It is worth discussing in more detail here.
+
+[[clustering-order]]
+==== Clustering order
+
+The clustering order of a table is defined by the clustering columns. 
+By default, the clustering order is ascending for the clustering column's data types. 
+For example, integers order from 1, 2, ... n, while text orders from A to Z. 
+
+The `CLUSTERING ORDER BY` table option uses a comma-separated list of the
+clustering columns, each set for either `ASC` (for _ascending_ order) or `DESC` (for _descending order).
+The default is ascending for all clustering columns if the `CLUSTERING ORDER BY` option is not set. 
+
+This option is basically a hint for the storage engine that changes the order in which it stores the row.
+Beware of the consequences of setting this option:
+
+* It changes the default ascending order of results when queried with a `SELECT` statement with no `ORDER BY` clause.
+
+* It limits how the `ORDER BY` clause is used in `SELECT` statements on that table. 
+Results can only be ordered with either the original clustering order or the reverse clustering order.
+Suppose you create a table with two clustering columns `a` and `b`, defined `WITH CLUSTERING ORDER BY (a DESC, b ASC)`.
+Queries on the table can use `ORDER BY (a DESC, b ASC)` or `ORDER BY (a ASC, b DESC)`. 
+Mixed order, such as `ORDER BY (a ASC, b ASC)` or `ORDER BY (a DESC, b DESC)` will not return expected order.
+
+* It has a performance impact on queries. Queries in reverse clustering order are slower than the default ascending order.
+If you plan to query mostly in descending order, declare the clustering order in the table schema using `WITH CLUSTERING ORDER BY ()`. 
+This optimization is common for time series, to retrieve the data from newest to oldest.
+
+[[create-table-general-options]]
+==== Other table options
+
+A table supports the following options:
+
+[width="100%",cols="30%,9%,11%,50%",options="header",]
+|===
+|option | kind | default | description
+
+| `comment` | _simple_ | none | A free-form, human-readable comment
+| xref:cql/ddl.adoc#spec_retry[`speculative_retry`] | _simple_ | 99PERCENTILE | Speculative retry options
+| `cdc` |_boolean_ |false |Create a Change Data Capture (CDC) log on the table
+| `additional_write_policy` |_simple_ |99PERCENTILE | Same as `speculative_retry`
+| `gc_grace_seconds` |_simple_ |864000 |Time to wait before garbage collecting tombstones (deletion markers)
+| `bloom_filter_fp_chance` |_simple_ |0.00075 |The target probability of
+false positive of the sstable bloom filters. Said bloom filters will be
+sized to provide the provided probability, thus lowering this value
+impacts the size of bloom filters in-memory and on-disk.
+| `default_time_to_live` |_simple_ |0 |Default expiration time (“TTL”) in seconds for a table
+| `compaction` |_map_ |_see below_ | xref:operating/compaction/index.adoc#cql-compaction-options[Compaction options]
+| `compression` |_map_ |_see below_ | xref:operating/compression/index.adoc#cql-compression-options[Compression options]
+| `caching` |_map_ |_see below_ |Caching options
+| `memtable_flush_period_in_ms` |_simple_ |0 |Time (in ms) before Cassandra flushes memtables to disk
+| `read_repair` |_simple_ |BLOCKING |Sets read repair behavior (see below)
+|===
+
+[[spec_retry]]
+===== Speculative retry options
+
+By default, Cassandra read coordinators only query as many replicas as
+necessary to satisfy consistency levels: one for consistency level
+`ONE`, a quorum for `QUORUM`, and so on. `speculative_retry` determines
+when coordinators may query additional replicas, a useful action when
+replicas are slow or unresponsive. Speculative retries reduce the latency. 
+The speculative_retry option configures rapid read protection, where a coordinator sends more
+requests than needed to satisfy the consistency level.
+
+[IMPORTANT]
+====
+Frequently reading from additional replicas can hurt cluster
+performance. When in doubt, keep the default `99PERCENTILE`.
+====
+
+Pre-Cassandra 4.0 speculative retry policy takes a single string as a parameter:
+
+* `NONE`
+* `ALWAYS`
+* `99PERCENTILE` (PERCENTILE)
+* `50MS` (CUSTOM)
+
+An example of setting speculative retry sets a custom value:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/alter_table_spec_retry.cql[]
+----
+
+This example uses a percentile for the setting:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/alter_table_spec_retry_percent.cql[]
+----
+
+A percentile setting can backfire. If a single host becomes unavailable, it can
+force up the percentiles. A value of `p99` will not speculate as intended because the 
+value at the specified percentile has increased too much. If the consistency level is set to `ALL`, all 
+replicas are queried regardless of the speculative retry setting. 
+
+Cassandra 4.0 supports case-insensitivity for speculative retry values (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14293[CASSANDRA-14293]). For example, assigning the value as `none`, `None`, or `NONE` has the same effect.
+
+Additionally, the following values are added:
+
+[cols=",,",options="header",]
+|===
+|Format |Example |Description
+| `XPERCENTILE` | 90.5PERCENTILE | Coordinators record average per-table response times
+for all replicas. If a replica takes longer than `X` percent of this
+table's average response time, the coordinator queries an additional
+replica. `X` must be between 0 and 100.
+| `XP` | 90.5P | Same as `XPERCENTILE`
+| `Yms` | 25ms | If a replica takes more than `Y` milliseconds to respond, the
+coordinator queries an additional replica.
+| `MIN(XPERCENTILE,YMS)` | MIN(99PERCENTILE,35MS) | A hybrid policy that uses either the
+specified percentile or fixed milliseconds depending on which value is
+lower at the time of calculation. Parameters are `XPERCENTILE`, `XP`, or
+`Yms`. This setting helps protect against a single slow instance.
+
+| `MAX(XPERCENTILE,YMS)` `ALWAYS` `NEVER` | MAX(90.5P,25ms) | A hybrid policy that uses either the specified
+percentile or fixed milliseconds depending on which value is higher at
+the time of calculation. 
+|===
+
+Cassandra 4.0 adds support for hybrid `MIN()` and `MAX()` speculative retry policies, with a mix and match of either `MIN(), MAX()`, `MIN(), MIN()`, or `MAX(), MAX()` (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14293[CASSANDRA-14293]).
+The hybrid mode will still speculate if the normal `p99` for the table is < 50ms, the minimum value.
+But if the `p99` level goes higher than the maximum value, then that value can be used. 
+In a hybrid value, one value must be a fixed time (ms) value and the other a percentile value.
+
+To illustrate variations, the following examples are all valid:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/spec_retry_values.cql[]
+----
+
+The `additional_write_policy` setting specifies the threshold at which a cheap
+quorum write will be upgraded to include transient replicas.
+
+[[cql-compaction-options]]
+===== Compaction options
+
+The `compaction` options must minimally define the `'class'` sub-option,
+to specify the compaction strategy class to use. 
+The supported classes are: 
+
+* `'SizeTieredCompactionStrategy'`, xref:operating/compaction/stcs.adoc#stcs[STCS] (Default)
+* `'LeveledCompactionStrategy'`, xref:operating/compaction/lcs.adoc#lcs[LCS]
+* `'TimeWindowCompactionStrategy'`, xref:operating/compaction/twcs.adoc#twcs[TWCS] 
+
+If a custom strategies is required, specify the full class name as a xref:cql/definitions.adoc#constants[string constant].  
+
+All default strategies support a number of xref:operating/compaction/index.adoc#compaction-options[common options], as well as options specific to the strategy chosen. See the section corresponding to your strategy for details: xref:operating/compaction/stcs.adoc#stcs_options[STCS], xref:operating/compaction/lcs.adoc#lcs_options[LCS], xref:operating/compaction/twcs.adoc#twcs_options[TWCS].
+
+[[cql-compression-options]]
+===== Compression options
+
+The `compression` options define if and how the SSTables of the table
+are compressed. Compression is configured on a per-table basis as an
+optional argument to `CREATE TABLE` or `ALTER TABLE`. The following
+sub-options are available:
+
+[cols=",,",options="header",]
+|===
+|Option |Default |Description
+| `class` | LZ4Compressor | The compression algorithm to use. Default compressor are: LZ4Compressor,
+SnappyCompressor, DeflateCompressor and ZstdCompressor. 
+Use `'enabled' : false` to disable compression. 
+Custom compressor can be provided by specifying the full class name as a xref:cql/definitions.adoc#constants[string constant].
+
+| `enabled` | true | Enable/disable sstable compression. 
+If the `enabled` option is set to `false`, no other options must be specified.
+
+| `chunk_length_in_kb` | 64 | On disk SSTables are compressed by block (to allow random reads). 
+This option defines the size (in KB) of said block. See xref:cql/ddl.adoc#chunk_note[note] for further information.
+
+| `crc_check_chance` | 1.0 | Determines how likely Cassandra is to verify the checksum on each
+compression chunk during reads.
+
+| `compression_level` | 3 | Compression level. Only applicable for `ZstdCompressor`.  
+Accepts values between `-131072` and `22`.
+|===
+
+[[chunk_note]]
+[NOTE]
+====
+Bigger values may improve the compression rate, but will increase the minimum size of data to be read from
+disk for a read. 
+The default value is an optimal value for compressing tables. 
+Chunk length must be a power of 2 when computing the chunk number from an uncompressed file offset. 
+Block size may be adjusted based on read/write access patterns such as:
+
+* How much data is typically requested at once
+* Average size of rows in the table
+====
+
+For instance, to create a table with LZ4Compressor and a `chunk_length_in_kb` of 4 KB:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/chunk_length.cql[]
+----
+
+[[cql-caching-options]]
+===== Caching options
+
+Caching optimizes the use of cache memory of a table. The cached data is
+weighed by size and access frequency. 
+The `caching` options can configure both the `key cache` and the `row cache` for the table. 
+The following sub-options are available:
+
+[cols=",,",options="header",]
+|===
+|Option |Default |Description
+| `keys` | ALL | Whether to cache keys (key cache) for this table. Valid values are: `ALL` and `NONE`.
+
+| `rows_per_partition` | NONE | The amount of rows to cache per partition (row cache). 
+If an integer `n` is specified, the first `n` queried rows of a partition will be cached. 
+Valid values are: `ALL`, to cache all rows of a queried partition, or `NONE` to disable row caching.
+|===
+
+For instance, to create a table with both a key cache and 10 rows cached per partition:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/caching_option.cql[]
+----
+
+[[read-repair-options]]
+===== Read Repair options
+
+The `read_repair` options configure the read repair behavior, tuning for various performance and consistency behaviors. 
+
+The values are:
+[cols=",,",options="header",]
+|===
+|Option |Default |Description
+|`BLOCKING` | yes | If a read repair is triggered, the read blocks writes sent to other replicas until the consistency level is reached by the writes.
+
+|`NONE` | no | If set, the coordinator reconciles any differences between replicas, but doesn't attempt to repair them.
+|===
+
+Two consistency properties are affected by read repair behavior.
+
+* Monotonic quorum reads: Monotonic quorum reads
+prevents reads from appearing to go back in time in some circumstances.
+When monotonic quorum reads are not provided and a write fails to reach
+a quorum of replicas, the read values may be visible in one read, and then disappear
+in a subsequent read. `BLOCKING` provides this behavior.
+* Write atomicity: Write atomicity prevents reads
+from returning partially-applied writes. Cassandra attempts to provide
+partition-level write atomicity, but since only the data covered by a
+SELECT statement is repaired by a read repair, read repair can break
+write atomicity when data is read at a more granular level than it is
+written. For example, read repair can break write atomicity if you write
+multiple rows to a clustered partition in a batch, but then select a
+single row by specifying the clustering column in a SELECT statement.
+`NONE` provides this behavior.
+
+===== Other considerations:
+
+* Adding new columns (see `ALTER TABLE` below) is a constant time
+operation. Thus, there is no need to anticipate future usage while initially creating a table.
+
+[[alter-table-statement]]
+== ALTER TABLE
+
+Altering an existing table uses the `ALTER TABLE` statement:
+
+[source,bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/alter_table.bnf[]
+----
+If the table does not exist, the statement will return an error, unless `IF EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
+
+For example:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/alter_table_add_column.cql[]
+include::example$CQL/alter_table_with_comment.cql[]
+----
+
+The `ALTER TABLE` statement can:
+
+* `ADD` a new column to a table. The primary key of a table cannot ever be altered.
+A new column, thus, cannot be part of the primary key. 
+Adding a column is a constant-time operation based on the amount of data in the table.
+If the new column already exists, the statement will return an error, unless `IF NOT EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
+* `DROP` a column from a table. This command drops both the column and all
+its content. Be aware that, while the column becomes immediately
+unavailable, its content are removed lazily during compaction. Because of this lazy removal,
+the command is a constant-time operation based on the amount of data in the table. 
+Also, it is important to know that once a column is dropped, a column with the same name can be re-added,
+unless the dropped column was a non-frozen column like a collection.
+If the dropped column does not already exist, the statement will return an error, unless `IF EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
+
+[WARNING]
+.Warning
+====
+Dropping a column assumes that the timestamps used for the value of this
+column are "real" timestamp in microseconds. Using "real" timestamps in
+microseconds is the default is and is *strongly* recommended but as
+Cassandra allows the client to provide any timestamp on any table, it is
+theoretically possible to use another convention. Please be aware that
+if you do so, dropping a column will not correctly execute.
+====
+
+* `RENAME` a primary key column of a table. Non primary key columns cannot be renamed.
+Furthermore, renaming a column to another name which already exists isn't allowed.
+It's important to keep in mind that renamed columns shouldn't have dependent seconday indexes.
+If the renamed column does not already exist, the statement will return an error, unless `IF EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
+
+* Use `WITH` to change a table option. The xref:CQL/ddl.adoc#create-table-options[supported options]
+are the same as those used when creating a table, with the exception of `CLUSTERING ORDER`.
+However, setting any `compaction` sub-options will erase *ALL* previous `compaction` options, so you need to re-specify
+all the sub-options you wish to keep. The same is true for `compression` sub-options.
+
+[[drop-table-statement]]
+== DROP TABLE
+
+Dropping a table uses the `DROP TABLE` statement:
+
+[source,bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/drop_table.bnf[]
+----
+
+Dropping a table results in the immediate, irreversible removal of the
+table, including all data it contains.
+
+If the table does not exist, the statement will return an error, unless
+`IF EXISTS` is used, when the operation is a no-op.
+
+[[truncate-statement]]
+== TRUNCATE
+
+A table can be truncated using the `TRUNCATE` statement:
+
+[source,bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/truncate_table.bnf[]
+----
+
+`TRUNCATE TABLE foo` is the preferred syntax for consistency with other DDL
+statements. 
+However, tables are the only object that can be truncated currently, and the `TABLE` keyword can be omitted.
+
+Truncating a table permanently removes all existing data from the table, but without removing the table itself.

+= Definitions
+
+== Conventions
+
+To aid in specifying the CQL syntax, we will use the following
+conventions in this document:
+
+* Language rules will be given in an informal
+http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backus%E2%80%93Naur_Form#Variants[BNF
+variant] notation. In particular, we'll use square brakets (`[ item ]`)
+for optional items, `*` and `+` for repeated items (where `+` imply at
+least one).
+* The grammar will also use the following convention for convenience:
+non-terminal term will be lowercase (and link to their definition) while
+terminal keywords will be provided "all caps". Note however that
+keywords are `identifiers` and are thus case insensitive in practice. We
+will also define some early construction using regexp, which we'll
+indicate with `re(<some regular expression>)`.
+* The grammar is provided for documentation purposes and leave some
+minor details out. For instance, the comma on the last column definition
+in a `CREATE TABLE` statement is optional but supported if present even
+though the grammar in this document suggests otherwise. Also, not
+everything accepted by the grammar is necessarily valid CQL.
+* References to keywords or pieces of CQL code in running text will be
+shown in a `fixed-width font`.
+
+[[identifiers]]
+== Identifiers and keywords
+
+The CQL language uses _identifiers_ (or _names_) to identify tables,
+columns and other objects. An identifier is a token matching the regular
+expression `[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_]*`.
+
+A number of such identifiers, like `SELECT` or `WITH`, are _keywords_.
+They have a fixed meaning for the language and most are reserved. The
+list of those keywords can be found in xref:cql/appendices.adoc#appendix-A[Appendix A].
+
+Identifiers and (unquoted) keywords are case insensitive. Thus `SELECT`
+is the same than `select` or `sElEcT`, and `myId` is the same than
+`myid` or `MYID`. A convention often used (in particular by the samples
+of this documentation) is to use uppercase for keywords and lowercase
+for other identifiers.
+
+There is a second kind of identifier called a _quoted identifier_
+defined by enclosing an arbitrary sequence of characters (non-empty) in
+double-quotes(`"`). Quoted identifiers are never keywords. Thus
+`"select"` is not a reserved keyword and can be used to refer to a
+column (note that using this is particularly ill-advised), while `select`
+would raise a parsing error. Also, unlike unquoted identifiers
+and keywords, quoted identifiers are case sensitive (`"My Quoted Id"` is
+_different_ from `"my quoted id"`). A fully lowercase quoted identifier
+that matches `[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_]*` is however _equivalent_ to the
+unquoted identifier obtained by removing the double-quote (so `"myid"`
+is equivalent to `myid` and to `myId` but different from `"myId"`).
+Inside a quoted identifier, the double-quote character can be repeated
+to escape it, so `"foo "" bar"` is a valid identifier.
+
+[NOTE]
+.Note
+====
+The _quoted identifier_ can declare columns with arbitrary names, and
+these can sometime clash with specific names used by the server. For
+instance, when using conditional update, the server will respond with a
+result set containing a special result named `"[applied]"`. If you’ve
+declared a column with such a name, this could potentially confuse some
+tools and should be avoided. In general, unquoted identifiers should be
+preferred but if you use quoted identifiers, it is strongly advised that you
+avoid any name enclosed by squared brackets (like `"[applied]"`) and any
+name that looks like a function call (like `"f(x)"`).
+====
+
+More formally, we have:
+
+[source, bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/identifier.bnf[]
+----
+
+[[constants]]
+== Constants
+
+CQL defines the following _constants_:
+
+[source, bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/constant.bnf[]
+----
+
+In other words:
+
+* A string constant is an arbitrary sequence of characters enclosed by
+single-quote(`'`). A single-quote can be included by repeating it, e.g.
+`'It''s raining today'`. Those are not to be confused with quoted
+`identifiers` that use double-quotes. Alternatively, a string can be
+defined by enclosing the arbitrary sequence of characters by two dollar
+characters, in which case single-quote can be used without escaping
+(`$$It's raining today$$`). That latter form is often used when defining
+xref:cql/functions.adoc#udfs[user-defined functions] to avoid having to escape single-quote
+characters in function body (as they are more likely to occur than
+`$$`).
+* Integer, float and boolean constant are defined as expected. Note
+however than float allows the special `NaN` and `Infinity` constants.
+* CQL supports
+https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier[UUID]
+constants.
+* The content for blobs is provided in hexadecimal and prefixed by `0x`.
+* The special `NULL` constant denotes the absence of value.
+
+For how these constants are typed, see the xref:cql/types.adoc[Data types] section.
+
+== Terms
+
+CQL has the notion of a _term_, which denotes the kind of values that
+CQL support. Terms are defined by:
+
+[source, bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/term.bnf[]
+----
+
+A term is thus one of:
+
+* A xref:cql/defintions.adoc#constants[constant]
+* A literal for either a xref:cql/types.adoc#collections[collection],
+a xref:cql/types.adoc#udts[user-defined type] or a xref:cql/types.adoc#tuples[tuple]
+* A xref:cql/functions.adoc#cql-functions[function] call, either a xref:cql/functions.adoc#scalar-native-functions[native function]
+or a xref:cql/functions.adoc#user-defined-scalar-functions[user-defined function]
+* An xref:cql/operators.adoc#arithmetic_operators[arithmetic operation] between terms
+* A type hint
+* A bind marker, which denotes a variable to be bound at execution time.
+See the section on `prepared-statements` for details. A bind marker can
+be either anonymous (`?`) or named (`:some_name`). The latter form
+provides a more convenient way to refer to the variable for binding it
+and should generally be preferred.
+
+== Comments
+
+A comment in CQL is a line beginning by either double dashes (`--`) or
+double slash (`//`).
+
+Multi-line comments are also supported through enclosure within `/*` and
+`*/` (but nesting is not supported).
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+-- This is a comment
+// This is a comment too
+/* This is
+   a multi-line comment */
+----
+
+== Statements
+
+CQL consists of statements that can be divided in the following
+categories:
+
+* `data-definition` statements, to define and change how the data is
+stored (keyspaces and tables).
+* `data-manipulation` statements, for selecting, inserting and deleting
+data.
+* `secondary-indexes` statements.
+* `materialized-views` statements.
+* `cql-roles` statements.
+* `cql-permissions` statements.
+* `User-Defined Functions (UDFs)` statements.
+* `udts` statements.
+* `cql-triggers` statements.
+
+All the statements are listed below and are described in the rest of
+this documentation (see links above):
+
+[source, bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/cql_statement.bnf[]
+----
+
+== Prepared Statements
+
+CQL supports _prepared statements_. Prepared statements are an
+optimization that allows to parse a query only once but execute it
+multiple times with different concrete values.
+
+Any statement that uses at least one bind marker (see `bind_marker`)
+will need to be _prepared_. After which the statement can be _executed_
+by provided concrete values for each of its marker. The exact details of
+how a statement is prepared and then executed depends on the CQL driver
+used and you should refer to your driver documentation.

+= Data Manipulation
+
+This section describes the statements supported by CQL to insert,
+update, delete and query data.
+
+[[select-statement]]
+== SELECT
+
+Querying data from data is done using a `SELECT` statement:
+
+[source,bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/select_statement.bnf[]
+----
+
+For example:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/select_statement.cql[]
+----
+
+The `SELECT` statements reads one or more columns for one or more rows
+in a table. It returns a result-set of the rows matching the request,
+where each row contains the values for the selection corresponding to
+the query. Additionally, xref:cql/functions.adoc#cql-functions[functions] including
+xref:cql/functions.adoc#aggregate-functions[aggregations] can be applied to the result.
+
+A `SELECT` statement contains at least a xref:cql/dml.adoc#selection-clause[selection clause] and the name of the table on which
+the selection is executed. 
+CQL does *not* execute joins or sub-queries and a select statement only apply to a single table. 
+A select statement can also have a xref:cql/dml.adoc#where-clause[where clause] that can further narrow the query results.
+Additional clauses can xref:cql/dml.adoc#ordering-clause[order] or xref:cql/dml.adoc#limit-clause[limit] the results. 
+Lastly, xref:cql/dml.adoc#allow-filtering[queries that require full cluster filtering] can append `ALLOW FILTERING` to any query.
+For virtual tables, from https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-18238[CASSANDRA-18238], it is not necessary to specify `ALLOW FILTERING` when a query would normally require that. Please consult the documentation for virtual tables to know more.
+
+[[selection-clause]]
+=== Selection clause
+
+The `select_clause` determines which columns will be queried and returned in the result set. 
+This clause can also apply transformations to apply to the result before returning. 
+The selection clause consists of a comma-separated list of specific _selectors_ or, alternatively, the wildcard character (`*`) to select all the columns defined in the table.
+
+==== Selectors
+
+A `selector` can be one of:
+
+* A column name of the table selected, to retrieve the values for that
+column.
+* A term, which is usually used nested inside other selectors like
+functions (if a term is selected directly, then the corresponding column
+of the result-set will simply have the value of this term for every row
+returned).
+* A casting, which allows to convert a nested selector to a (compatible)
+type.
+* A function call, where the arguments are selector themselves. See the
+section on xref:cql/functions.adoc#cql-functions[functions] for more details.
+* The special call `COUNT(*)` to the xref:cql/functions.adoc#count-function[COUNT function],
+which counts all non-null results.
+
+==== Aliases
+
+Every _top-level_ selector can also be aliased (using AS).
+If so, the name of the corresponding column in the result set will be
+that of the alias. For instance:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/as.cql[]
+----
+
+[NOTE]
+====
+Currently, aliases aren't recognized in the `WHERE` or `ORDER BY` clauses in the statement.
+You must use the orignal column name instead.
+====
+
+[[writetime-and-ttl-function]]
+==== `WRITETIME`, `MAXWRITETIME` and `TTL` function
+
+Selection supports three special functions that aren't allowed anywhere
+else: `WRITETIME`, `MAXWRITETIME` and `TTL`.
+All functions take only one argument, a column name. If the column is a collection or UDT, it's possible to add element
+selectors, such as `WRITETTIME(phones[2..4])` or `WRITETTIME(user.name)`.
+These functions retrieve meta-information that is stored internally for each column:
+
+* `WRITETIME` stores the timestamp of the value of the column.
+* `MAXWRITETIME` stores the largest timestamp of the value of the column. For non-collection and non-UDT columns, `MAXWRITETIME`
+is equivalent to `WRITETIME`. In the other cases, it returns the largest timestamp of the values in the column.
+* `TTL` stores the remaining time to live (in seconds) for the value of the column if it is set to expire; otherwise the value is `null`.
+
+The `WRITETIME` and `TTL` functions can be used on multi-cell columns such as non-frozen collections or non-frozen
+user-defined types. In that case, the functions will return the list of timestamps or TTLs for each selected cell.
+
+[[where-clause]]
+=== The `WHERE` clause
+
+The `WHERE` clause specifies which rows are queried. It specifies
+a relationship for `PRIMARY KEY` columns or a column that has
+a xref:cql/indexes.adoc#create-index-statement[secondary index] defined, along with a set value.
+
+Not all relationships are allowed in a query. For instance, only an equality
+is allowed on a partition key. The `IN` clause is considered an equality for one or more values.
+The `TOKEN` clause can be used to query for partition key non-equalities.
+A partition key must be specified before clustering columns in the `WHERE` clause. The relationship 
+for clustering columns must specify a *contiguous* set of rows to order.
+
+For instance, given:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/table_for_where.cql[]
+----
+
+The following query is allowed:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/where.cql[]
+----
+
+But the following one is not, as it does not select a contiguous set of
+rows (and we suppose no secondary indexes are set):
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/where_fail.cql[]
+----
+
+When specifying relationships, the `TOKEN` function can be applied to the `PARTITION KEY` column to query. 
+Rows will be selected based on the token of the `PARTITION_KEY` rather than on the value.
+[IMPORTANT]
+====
+The token of a key depends on the partitioner in use, and that
+in particular the `RandomPartitioner` won't yield a meaningful order. 
+Also note that ordering partitioners always order token values by bytes (so
+even if the partition key is of type int, `token(-1) > token(0)` in
+particular). 
+====
+
+For example:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/token.cql[]
+----
+
+The `IN` relationship is only allowed on the last column of the
+partition key or on the last column of the full primary key.
+
+It is also possible to “group” `CLUSTERING COLUMNS` together in a
+relation using the tuple notation. 
+
+For example:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/where_group_cluster_columns.cql[]
+----
+
+This query will return all rows that sort after the one having “John's Blog” as
+`blog_tile` and '2012-01-01' for `posted_at` in the clustering order. In
+particular, rows having a `post_at <= '2012-01-01'` will be returned, as
+long as their `blog_title > 'John''s Blog'`. 
+
+That would not be the case for this example:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/where_no_group_cluster_columns.cql[]
+----
+
+The tuple notation may also be used for `IN` clauses on clustering columns:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/where_in_tuple.cql[]
+----
+
+The `CONTAINS` operator may only be used for collection columns (lists,
+sets, and maps). In the case of maps, `CONTAINS` applies to the map
+values. The `CONTAINS KEY` operator may only be used on map columns and
+applies to the map keys.
+
+[[group-by-clause]]
+=== Grouping results
+
+The `GROUP BY` option can condense all selected
+rows that share the same values for a set of columns into a single row.
+
+Using the `GROUP BY` option, rows can be grouped at the partition key or clustering column level. 
+Consequently, the `GROUP BY` option only accepts primary key columns in defined order as arguments.
+If a primary key column is restricted by an equality restriction, it is not included in the `GROUP BY` clause.
+
+Aggregate functions will produce a separate value for each group. 
+If no `GROUP BY` clause is specified, aggregates functions will produce a single value for all the rows.
+
+If a column is selected without an aggregate function, in a statement
+with a `GROUP BY`, the first value encounter in each group will be
+returned.
+
+[[ordering-clause]]
+=== Ordering results
+
+The `ORDER BY` clause selects the order of the returned results. 
+The argument is a list of column names and each column's order 
+(`ASC` for ascendant and `DESC` for descendant,
+The possible orderings are limited by the xref:cql/ddl.adoc#clustering-order[clustering order] defined on the table:
+
+* if the table has been defined without any specific `CLUSTERING ORDER`, then the order is as defined by the clustering columns
+or the reverse
+* otherwise, the order is defined by the `CLUSTERING ORDER` option and the reversed one.
+
+[[limit-clause]]
+=== Limiting results
+
+The `LIMIT` option to a `SELECT` statement limits the number of rows
+returned by a query. The `PER PARTITION LIMIT` option limits the
+number of rows returned for a given partition by the query. Both types of limits can used in the same statement.
+
+[[allow-filtering]]
+=== Allowing filtering
+
+By default, CQL only allows select queries that don't involve a full scan of all partitions. 
+If all partitions are scanned, then returning the results may experience a significant latency proportional to the 
+amount of data in the table. The `ALLOW FILTERING` option explicitly executes a full scan. Thus, the performance of 
+the query can be unpredictable.
+
+For example, consider the following table of user profiles with birth year and country of residence. 
+The birth year has a secondary index defined.
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/allow_filtering.cql[]
+----
+
+The following queries are valid:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/query_allow_filtering.cql[]
+----
+
+In both cases, the query performance is proportional to the amount of data returned. 
+The first query returns all rows, because all users are selected.
+The second query returns only the rows defined by the secondary index, a per-node implementation; the results will
+depend on the number of nodes in the cluster, and is indirectly proportional to the amount of data stored.
+The number of nodes will always be multiple number of magnitude lower than the number of user profiles stored. 
+Both queries may return very large result sets, but the addition of a `LIMIT` clause can reduced the latency.
+
+The following query will be rejected:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/query_fail_allow_filtering.cql[]
+----
+
+Cassandra cannot guarantee that large amounts of data won't have to scanned amount of data, even if the result is small. 
+If you know that the dataset is small, and the performance will be reasonable, add `ALLOW FILTERING` to allow the query to

+include::example$CQL/query_nofail_allow_filtering.cql[]
+----
+
+[[insert-statement]]
+== INSERT
+
+Inserting data for a row is done using an `INSERT` statement:
+
+[source,bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/insert_statement.bnf[]
+----
+
+For example:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/insert_statement.cql[]
+----
+
+The `INSERT` statement writes one or more columns for a given row in a
+table. 
+Since a row is identified by its `PRIMARY KEY`, at least one columns must be specified. 
+The list of columns to insert must be supplied with the `VALUES` syntax. 
+When using the `JSON` syntax, `VALUES` are optional. 
+See the section on xref:cql/dml.adoc#cql-json[JSON support] for more detail.
+All updates for an `INSERT` are applied atomically and in isolation.
+
+Unlike in SQL, `INSERT` does not check the prior existence of the row by default. 
+The row is created if none existed before, and updated otherwise. 
+Furthermore, there is no means of knowing which action occurred.
+
+The `IF NOT EXISTS` condition can restrict the insertion if the row does not exist. 
+However, note that using `IF NOT EXISTS` will incur a non-negligible performance cost, because Paxos is used,
+so this should be used sparingly.
+
+Please refer to the xref:cql/dml.adoc#update-parameters[UPDATE] section for informations on the `update_parameter`.
+Also note that `INSERT` does not support counters, while `UPDATE` does.
+
+[[update-statement]]
+== UPDATE
+
+Updating a row is done using an `UPDATE` statement:
+
+[source, bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/update_statement.bnf[]
+----
+
+For instance:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/update_statement.cql[]
+----
+
+The `UPDATE` statement writes one or more columns for a given row in a
+table. 
+The `WHERE` clause is used to select the row to update and must include all columns of the `PRIMARY KEY`. 
+Non-primary key columns are set using the `SET` keyword.
+In an `UPDATE` statement, all updates within the same partition key are applied atomically and in isolation.
+
+Unlike in SQL, `UPDATE` does not check the prior existence of the row by default.
+The row is created if none existed before, and updated otherwise.
+Furthermore, there is no means of knowing which action occurred.
+
+The `IF` condition can be used to choose whether the row is updated or not if a particular condition is met.
+However, like the `IF NOT EXISTS` condition, a non-negligible performance cost can be incurred.
+
+Regarding the `SET` assignment:
+
+* `c = c + 3` will increment/decrement counters, the only operation allowed. 
+The column name after the '=' sign *must* be the same than the one before the '=' sign.
+Increment/decrement is only allowed on counters. 
+See the section on xref:cql/dml.adoc#counters[counters] for details.
+* `id = id + <some-collection>` and `id[value1] = value2` are for collections. 
+See the xref:cql/types.adoc#collections[collections] for details.  
+* `id.field = 3` is for setting the value of a field on a non-frozen user-defined types. 
+See the xref:cql/types.adoc#udts[UDTs] for details.
+
+=== Update parameters
+
+`UPDATE` and `INSERT` statements support the following parameters:
+
+* `TTL`: specifies an optional Time To Live (in seconds) for the
+inserted values. If set, the inserted values are automatically removed
+from the database after the specified time. Note that the TTL concerns
+the inserted values, not the columns themselves. This means that any
+subsequent update of the column will also reset the TTL (to whatever TTL
+is specified in that update). By default, values never expire. A TTL of
+0 is equivalent to no TTL. If the table has a default_time_to_live, a
+TTL of 0 will remove the TTL for the inserted or updated values. A TTL
+of `null` is equivalent to inserting with a TTL of 0.
+
+`UPDATE`, `INSERT`, `DELETE` and `BATCH` statements support the following parameters:
+
+* `TIMESTAMP`: sets the timestamp for the operation. If not specified,
+the coordinator will use the current time (in microseconds) at the start
+of statement execution as the timestamp. This is usually a suitable
+default.
+
+[[delete_statement]]
+== DELETE
+
+Deleting rows or parts of rows uses the `DELETE` statement:
+
+[source,bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/delete_statement.bnf[]
+----
+
+For example:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/delete_statement.cql[]
+----
+
+The `DELETE` statement deletes columns and rows. If column names are
+provided directly after the `DELETE` keyword, only those columns are
+deleted from the row indicated by the `WHERE` clause. Otherwise, whole
+rows are removed.
+
+The `WHERE` clause specifies which rows are to be deleted. Multiple rows
+may be deleted with one statement by using an `IN` operator. A range of
+rows may be deleted using an inequality operator (such as `>=`).
+
+`DELETE` supports the `TIMESTAMP` option with the same semantics as in
+xref:cql/dml.adoc#update-parameters[updates].
+
+In a `DELETE` statement, all deletions within the same partition key are
+applied atomically and in isolation.
+
+A `DELETE` operation can be conditional through the use of an `IF`
+clause, similar to `UPDATE` and `INSERT` statements. However, as with
+`INSERT` and `UPDATE` statements, this will incur a non-negligible
+performance cost because Paxos is used, and should be used sparingly.
+
+[[batch_statement]]
+== BATCH
+
+Multiple `INSERT`, `UPDATE` and `DELETE` can be executed in a single
+statement by grouping them through a `BATCH` statement:
+
+[source, bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/batch_statement.bnf[]
+----
+
+For instance:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/batch_statement.cql[]
+----
+
+The `BATCH` statement group multiple modification statements
+(insertions/updates and deletions) into a single statement. It serves
+several purposes:
+
+* It saves network round-trips between the client and the server (and
+sometimes between the server coordinator and the replicas) when batching
+multiple updates.
+* All updates in a `BATCH` belonging to a given partition key are
+performed in isolation.
+* By default, all operations in the batch are performed as _logged_, to
+ensure all mutations eventually complete (or none will). See the notes
+on xref:cql/dml.adoc#unlogged-batches[UNLOGGED batches] for more details.
+
+Note that:
+
+* `BATCH` statements may only contain `UPDATE`, `INSERT` and `DELETE`
+statements (not other batches for instance).
+* Batches are _not_ a full analogue for SQL transactions.
+* If a timestamp is not specified for each operation, then all
+operations will be applied with the same timestamp (either one generated
+automatically, or the timestamp provided at the batch level). Due to
+Cassandra's conflict resolution procedure in the case of
+http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/FAQ#clocktie[timestamp ties],
+operations may be applied in an order that is different from the order
+they are listed in the `BATCH` statement. To force a particular
+operation ordering, you must specify per-operation timestamps.
+* A LOGGED batch to a single partition will be converted to an UNLOGGED
+batch as an optimization.
+
+[[unlogged-batches]]
+=== `UNLOGGED` batches
+
+By default, Cassandra uses a batch log to ensure all operations in a
+batch eventually complete or none will (note however that operations are
+only isolated within a single partition).
+
+There is a performance penalty for batch atomicity when a batch spans
+multiple partitions. If you do not want to incur this penalty, you can
+tell Cassandra to skip the batchlog with the `UNLOGGED` option. If the
+`UNLOGGED` option is used, a failed batch might leave the patch only
+partly applied.
+
+=== `COUNTER` batches
+
+Use the `COUNTER` option for batched counter updates. Unlike other
+updates in Cassandra, counter updates are not idempotent.

+// Need some intro for UDF and native functions in general and point those to it.  
+// [[cql-functions]][[native-functions]] 
+
+== Functions
+
+CQL supports 2 main categories of functions:
+
+* xref:cql/functions.adoc#scalar-functions[scalar functions] that take a number of values and produce an output
+* xref:cql/functions.adoc#aggregate-functions[aggregate functions] that aggregate multiple rows resulting from a `SELECT` statement
+
+In both cases, CQL provides a number of native "hard-coded" functions as
+well as the ability to create new user-defined functions.
+
+[NOTE]
+.Note
+====
+By default, the use of user-defined functions is disabled by default for
+security concerns (even when enabled, the execution of user-defined
+functions is sandboxed and a "rogue" function should not be allowed to
+do evil, but no sandbox is perfect so using user-defined functions is
+opt-in). See the `user_defined_functions_enabled` in `cassandra.yaml` to
+enable them.
+====
+
+A function is identifier by its name:
+
+[source, bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/function.bnf[]
+----
+
+=== Scalar functions
+
+[[scalar-native-functions]]
+==== Native functions
+
+===== Cast
+
+The `cast` function can be used to converts one native datatype to
+another.
+
+The following table describes the conversions supported by the `cast`
+function. Cassandra will silently ignore any cast converting a datatype
+into its own datatype.
+
+[cols=",",options="header",]
+|===
+|From |To
+
+| `ascii` | `text`, `varchar`
+
+| `bigint` | `tinyint`, `smallint`, `int`, `float`, `double`, `decimal`, `varint`,
+`text`, `varchar`
+
+| `boolean` | `text`, `varchar`
+
+| `counter` | `tinyint`, `smallint`, `int`, `bigint`, `float`, `double`, `decimal`,
+`varint`, `text`, `varchar`
+
+| `date` | `timestamp`
+
+| `decimal` | `tinyint`, `smallint`, `int`, `bigint`, `float`, `double`, `varint`,
+`text`, `varchar`
+
+| `double` | `tinyint`, `smallint`, `int`, `bigint`, `float`, `decimal`, `varint`,
+`text`, `varchar`
+
+| `float` | `tinyint`, `smallint`, `int`, `bigint`, `double`, `decimal`, `varint`,
+`text`, `varchar`
+
+| `inet` | `text`, `varchar`
+
+| `int` | `tinyint`, `smallint`, `bigint`, `float`, `double`, `decimal`, `varint`,
+`text`, `varchar`
+
+| `smallint` | `tinyint`, `int`, `bigint`, `float`, `double`, `decimal`, `varint`,
+`text`, `varchar`
+
+| `time` | `text`, `varchar`
+
+| `timestamp` | `date`, `text`, `varchar`
+
+| `timeuuid` | `timestamp`, `date`, `text`, `varchar`
+
+| `tinyint` | `tinyint`, `smallint`, `int`, `bigint`, `float`, `double`, `decimal`,
+`varint`, `text`, `varchar`
+
+| `uuid` | `text`, `varchar`
+
+| `varint` | `tinyint`, `smallint`, `int`, `bigint`, `float`, `double`, `decimal`,
+`text`, `varchar`
+|===
+
+The conversions rely strictly on Java's semantics. For example, the
+double value 1 will be converted to the text value '1.0'. For instance:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+SELECT avg(cast(count as double)) FROM myTable
+----
+
+===== Token
+
+The `token` function computes the token for a given partition key. 
+The exact signature of the token function depends on the table concerned and the partitioner used by the cluster.
+
+The type of the arguments of the `token` depend on the partition key column type. The returned type depends on the defined partitioner:
+
+[cols=",",options="header",]
+|===
+|Partitioner | Returned type
+| Murmur3Partitioner | `bigint`
+| RandomPartitioner | `varint`
+| ByteOrderedPartitioner | `blob`
+|===
+
+For example, consider the following table:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/create_table_simple.cql[]
+----
+
+The table uses the default Murmur3Partitioner.
+The `token` function uses the single argument `text`, because the partition key is `userid` of text type.
+The returned type will be `bigint`.
+
+===== Uuid
+
+The `uuid` function takes no parameters and generates a random type 4
+uuid suitable for use in `INSERT` or `UPDATE` statements.
+
+===== Timeuuid functions
+
+====== `now`
+
+The `now` function takes no arguments and generates, on the coordinator
+node, a new unique timeuuid at the time the function is invoked. Note
+that this method is useful for insertion but is largely non-sensical in
+`WHERE` clauses. 
+
+For example, a query of the form:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/timeuuid_now.cql[]
+----
+
+will not return a result, by design, since the value returned by
+`now()` is guaranteed to be unique.
+
+`current_timeuuid` is an alias of `now`.
+
+====== `min_timeuuid` and `max_timeuuid`
+
+The `min_timeuuid` function takes a `timestamp` value `t`, either a timestamp or a date string.
+It returns a _fake_ `timeuuid` corresponding to the _smallest_ possible `timeuuid` for timestamp `t`.
+The `max_timeuuid` works similarly, but returns the _largest_ possible `timeuuid`.
+
+For example:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/timeuuid_min_max.cql[]
+----
+
+will select all rows where the `timeuuid` column `t` is later than `'2013-01-01 00:05+0000'` and earlier than `'2013-02-02 10:00+0000'`. 
+The clause `t >= maxTimeuuid('2013-01-01 00:05+0000')` would still _not_ select a `timeuuid` generated exactly at '2013-01-01 00:05+0000', and is essentially equivalent to `t > maxTimeuuid('2013-01-01 00:05+0000')`.
+
+[NOTE]
+.Note
+====
+The values generated by `min_timeuuid` and `max_timeuuid` are called _fake_ UUID because they do no respect the time-based UUID generation process
+specified by the http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4122.txt[IETF RFC 4122].
+In particular, the value returned by these two methods will not be unique.
+Thus, only use these methods for *querying*, not for *insertion*, to prevent possible data overwriting. 
+====
+
+===== Datetime functions
+
+====== Retrieving the current date/time
+
+The following functions can be used to retrieve the date/time at the
+time where the function is invoked:
+
+[cols=",",options="header",]
+|===
+|Function name |Output type
+
+| `current_timestamp` | `timestamp`
+
+| `current_date` | `date`
+
+| `current_time` | `time`
+
+| `current_timeuuid` | `timeUUID`
+|===
+
+For example the last two days of data can be retrieved using:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/current_date.cql[]
+----
+
+====== Time conversion functions
+
+A number of functions are provided to convert a `timeuuid`, a `timestamp` or a `date` into another `native` type.
+
+[cols=",,",options="header",]
+|===
+|Function name |Input type |Description
+
+| `to_date` | `timeuuid` | Converts the `timeuuid` argument into a `date` type
+
+| `to_date` | `timestamp` | Converts the `timestamp` argument into a `date` type
+
+| `to_timestamp` | `timeuuid` | Converts the `timeuuid` argument into a `timestamp` type
+
+| `to_timestamp` | `date` | Converts the `date` argument into a `timestamp` type
+
+| `to_unix_timestamp` | `timeuuid` | Converts the `timeuuid` argument into a `bigInt` raw value
+
+| `to_unix_timestamp` | `timestamp` | Converts the `timestamp` argument into a `bigInt` raw value
+
+| `to_unix_timestamp` | `date` | Converts the `date` argument into a `bigInt` raw value
+|===
+
+===== Blob conversion functions
+
+A number of functions are provided to convert the native types into
+binary data, or a `blob`. 
+For every xref:cql/types.adoc#native-types[type] supported by CQL, the function `type_as_blob` takes a argument of type `type` and returns it as a `blob`.
+Conversely, the function `blob_as_type` takes a 64-bit `blob` argument and converts it to a `bigint` value.
+For example, `bigint_as_blob(3)` returns `0x0000000000000003` and `blob_as_bigint(0x0000000000000003)` returns `3`.
+
+===== Math Functions
+
+Cql provides the following math functions: `abs`, `exp`, `log`, `log10`, and `round`.
+The return type for these functions is always the same as the input type.
+
+[cols=",",options="header",]
+|===
+|Function name |Description
+
+|`abs` | Returns the absolute value of the input.
+
+|`exp` | Returns the number e to the power of the input.
+
+|`log` | Returns the natural log of the input.
+
+|`log10` | Returns the log base 10 of the input.
+
+|`round` | Rounds the input to the nearest whole number using rounding mode `HALF_UP`.
+|===
+
+===== Collection functions
+
+A number of functions are provided to operate on collection columns.
+
+[cols=",,",options="header",]
+|===
+|Function name |Input type |Description
+
+| `map_keys` | `map` | Gets the keys of the `map` argument, returned as a `set`.
+
+| `map_values` | `map` | Gets the values of the `map` argument, returned as a `list`.
+
+| `collection_count` | `map`, `set` or `list` | Gets the number of elements in the collection argument.
+
+| `collection_min` | `set` or `list` | Gets the minimum element in the collection argument.
+
+| `collection_max` | `set` or `list` | Gets the maximum element in the collection argument.
+
+| `collection_sum` | numeric `set` or `list` | Computes the sum of the elements in the collection argument. The returned value is of the same type as the input collection elements, so there is a risk of overflowing the data type if the sum of the values exceeds the maximum value that the type can represent.
+
+| `collection_avg` | numeric `set` or `list` | Computes the average of the elements in the collection argument. The average of an empty collection returns zero. The returned value is of the same type as the input collection elements, which might include rounding and truncations. For example `collection_avg([1, 2])` returns `1` instead of `1.5`.
+|===
+
+[[data-masking-functions]]
+===== Data masking functions
+
+A number of functions allow to obscure the real contents of a column containing sensitive data.
+
+include::partial$masking_functions.adoc[]
+
+[[user-defined-scalar-functions]]
+==== User-defined functions
+
+User-defined functions (UDFs) execute user-provided code in Cassandra. 
+By default, Cassandra supports defining functions in _Java_.
+
+UDFs are part of the Cassandra schema, and are automatically propagated to all nodes in the cluster.  
+UDFs can be _overloaded_, so that multiple UDFs with different argument types can have the same function name.
+
+
+[NOTE]
+.Note
+====
+_JavaScript_ user-defined functions have been deprecated in Cassandra 4.1. In preparation for Cassandra 5.0, their removal is
+already in progress. For more information - CASSANDRA-17281, CASSANDRA-18252.
+====
+
+For example:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/function_overload.cql[]
+----
+
+UDFs are susceptible to all of the normal problems with the chosen programming language. 
+Accordingly, implementations should be safe against null pointer exceptions, illegal arguments, or any other potential source of exceptions. 
+An exception during function execution will result in the entire statement failing.
+Valid queries for UDF use are `SELECT`, `INSERT` and `UPDATE` statements.
+
+_Complex_ types like collections, tuple types and user-defined types are valid argument and return types in UDFs. 
+Tuple types and user-defined types use the DataStax Java Driver conversion functions.
+Please see the Java Driver documentation for details on handling tuple types and user-defined types.
+
+Arguments for functions can be literals or terms. 
+Prepared statement placeholders can be used, too.
+
+Note the use the double dollar-sign syntax to enclose the UDF source code. 
+
+For example:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/function_dollarsign.cql[]
+----
+
+The implicitly available `udfContext` field (or binding for script UDFs) provides the necessary functionality to create new UDT and tuple values:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/function_udfcontext.cql[]
+----
+
+The definition of the `UDFContext` interface can be found in the Apache Cassandra source code for `org.apache.cassandra.cql3.functions.UDFContext`.
+
+[source,java]
+----
+include::example$JAVA/udfcontext.java[]
+----
+
+Java UDFs already have some imports for common interfaces and classes defined. These imports are:
+
+[source,java]
+----
+include::example$JAVA/udf_imports.java[]
+----
+
+Please note, that these convenience imports are not available for script UDFs.
+
+[[create-function-statement]]
+==== CREATE FUNCTION statement
+
+Creating a new user-defined function uses the `CREATE FUNCTION` statement:
+
+[source,bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/create_function_statement.bnf[]
+----
+
+For example:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/create_function.cql[]
+----
+
+`CREATE FUNCTION` with the optional `OR REPLACE` keywords creates either a function or replaces an existing one with the same signature. 
+A `CREATE FUNCTION` without `OR REPLACE` fails if a function with the same signature already exists.  
+If the optional `IF NOT EXISTS` keywords are used, the function will only be created only if another function with the same signature does not
+exist.
+`OR REPLACE` and `IF NOT EXISTS` cannot be used together.
+
+Behavior for `null` input values must be defined for each function:
+
+* `RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT` declares that the function will always return `null` if any of the input arguments is `null`.
+* `CALLED ON NULL INPUT` declares that the function will always be executed.
+
+===== Function Signature
+
+Signatures are used to distinguish individual functions. The signature consists of a fully-qualified function name of the <keyspace>.<function_name> and a concatenated list of all the argument types.
+
+Note that keyspace names, function names and argument types are subject to the default naming conventions and case-sensitivity rules.
+
+Functions belong to a keyspace; if no keyspace is specified, the current keyspace is used. 
+User-defined functions are not allowed in the system keyspaces.
+
+[[drop-function-statement]]
+==== DROP FUNCTION statement
+
+Dropping a function uses the `DROP FUNCTION` statement:
+
+[source, bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/drop_function_statement.bnf[]
+----
+
+For example:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/drop_function.cql[]
+----
+
+You must specify the argument types of the function, the arguments_signature, in the drop command if there are multiple overloaded functions with the same name but different signatures.  
+`DROP FUNCTION` with the optional `IF EXISTS` keywords drops a function if it exists, but does not throw an error if it doesn't.
+
+[[aggregate-functions]]
+=== Aggregate functions
+
+Aggregate functions work on a set of rows. 
+Values for each row are input, to return a single value for the set of rows aggregated.
+
+If `normal` columns, `scalar functions`, `UDT` fields, `writetime`, or `ttl` are selected together with aggregate functions, the values
+returned for them will be the ones of the first row matching the query.
+
+==== Native aggregates
+
+[[count-function]]
+===== Count
+
+The `count` function can be used to count the rows returned by a query.
+
+For example:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/count.cql[]
+----
+
+It also can count the non-null values of a given column:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/count_nonnull.cql[]
+----
+
+===== Max and Min
+
+The `max` and `min` functions compute the maximum and the minimum value returned by a query for a given column. 
+
+For example:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/min_max.cql[]
+----
+
+===== Sum
+
+The `sum` function sums up all the values returned by a query for a given column.
+
+The returned value is of the same type as the input collection elements, so there is a risk of overflowing if the sum of the values exceeds the maximum value that the type can represent.
+
+For example:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/sum.cql[]
+----
+
+The returned value is of the same type as the input values, so there is a risk of overflowing the type if the sum of the
+values exceeds the maximum value that the type can represent. You can use type casting to cast the input values as a
+type large enough to contain the type. For example:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/sum_with_cast.cql[]
+----
+
+===== Avg
+
+The `avg` function computes the average of all the values returned by a query for a given column.
+
+For example:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/avg.cql[]
+----
+
+The average of an empty collection returns zero.
+
+The returned value is of the same type as the input values, which might include rounding and truncations.
+For example `collection_avg([1, 2])` returns `1` instead of `1.5`.
+You can use type casting to cast to a type with the desired decimal precision. For example:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/avg_with_cast.cql[]
+----
+
+[[user-defined-aggregates-functions]]
+==== User-Defined Aggregates (UDAs)
+
+User-defined aggregates allow the creation of custom aggregate functions. 
+User-defined aggregates can be used in `SELECT` statement.
+
+Each aggregate requires an _initial state_ of type `STYPE` defined with the `INITCOND`value (default value: `null`). 
+The first argument of the state function must have type `STYPE`. 
+The remaining arguments of the state function must match the types of the user-defined aggregate arguments. 
+The state function is called once for each row, and the value returned by the state function becomes the new state. 
+After all rows are processed, the optional `FINALFUNC` is executed with last state value as its argument.
+
+The `STYPE` value is mandatory in order to distinguish possibly overloaded versions of the state and/or final function, since the
+overload can appear after creation of the aggregate.
+
+
+A complete working example for user-defined aggregates (assuming that a
+keyspace has been selected using the `USE` statement):
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/uda.cql[]
+----
+
+[[create-aggregate-statement]]
+==== CREATE AGGREGATE statement
+
+Creating (or replacing) a user-defined aggregate function uses the
+`CREATE AGGREGATE` statement:
+
+[source, bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/create_aggregate_statement.bnf[]
+----
+
+See above for a complete example.
+
+The `CREATE AGGREGATE` command with the optional `OR REPLACE` keywords creates either an aggregate or replaces an existing one with the same
+signature. 
+A `CREATE AGGREGATE` without `OR REPLACE` fails if an aggregate with the same signature already exists.
+The `CREATE AGGREGATE` command with the optional `IF NOT EXISTS` keywords creates an aggregate if it does not already exist.
+The `OR REPLACE` and `IF NOT EXISTS` phrases cannot be used together.
+
+The `STYPE` value defines the type of the state value and must be specified.
+The optional `INITCOND` defines the initial state value for the aggregate; the default value is `null`. 
+A non-null `INITCOND` must be specified for state functions that are declared with `RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT`.
+
+The `SFUNC` value references an existing function to use as the state-modifying function. 
+The first argument of the state function must have type `STYPE`.
+The remaining arguments of the state function must match the types of the user-defined aggregate arguments.
+The state function is called once for each row, and the value returned by the state function becomes the new state.
+State is not updated for state functions declared with `RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT` and called with `null`.
+After all rows are processed, the optional `FINALFUNC` is executed with last state value as its argument.
+It must take only one argument with type `STYPE`, but the return type of the `FINALFUNC` may be a different type. 
+A final function declared with `RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT` means that the aggregate's return value will be `null`, if the last state is `null`.
+
+If no `FINALFUNC` is defined, the overall return type of the aggregate function is `STYPE`. 
+If a `FINALFUNC` is defined, it is the return type of that function.
+
+[[drop-aggregate-statement]]
+==== DROP AGGREGATE statement
+
+Dropping an user-defined aggregate function uses the `DROP AGGREGATE`
+statement:
+
+[source, bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/drop_aggregate_statement.bnf[]
+----
+
+For instance:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/drop_aggregate.cql[]
+----
+
+The `DROP AGGREGATE` statement removes an aggregate created using `CREATE AGGREGATE`. 
+You must specify the argument types of the aggregate to drop if there are multiple overloaded aggregates with the same name but a
+different signature.
+
+The `DROP AGGREGATE` command with the optional `IF EXISTS` keywords drops an aggregate if it exists, and does nothing if a function with the
+signature does not exist.

+= JSON Support
+
+Cassandra 2.2 introduces JSON support to `SELECT <select-statement>` and
+`INSERT <insert-statement>` statements. 
+This support does not fundamentally alter the CQL API (for example, the schema is still
+enforced).
+It simply provides a convenient way to work with JSON documents.
+
+== SELECT JSON
+
+With `SELECT` statements, the `JSON` keyword is used to return each row as a single `JSON` encoded map. 
+The remainder of the `SELECT` statement behavior is the same.
+
+The result map keys match the column names in a normal result set. 
+For example, a statement like `SELECT JSON a, ttl(b) FROM ...` would result in a map with keys `"a"` and `"ttl(b)"`. 
+However, there is one notable exception: for symmetry with `INSERT JSON` behavior, case-sensitive column names with upper-case letters will be surrounded with double quotes. 
+For example, `SELECT JSON myColumn FROM ...` would result in a map key `"\"myColumn\""` with escaped quotes).
+
+The map values will JSON-encoded representations (as described below) of the result set values.
+
+== INSERT JSON
+
+With `INSERT` statements, the new `JSON` keyword can be used to enable
+inserting a `JSON` encoded map as a single row. The format of the `JSON`
+map should generally match that returned by a `SELECT JSON` statement on
+the same table. In particular, case-sensitive column names should be
+surrounded with double quotes. For example, to insert into a table with
+two columns named "myKey" and "value", you would do the following:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/insert_json.cql[]
+----
+
+By default (or if `DEFAULT NULL` is explicitly used), a column omitted
+from the `JSON` map will be set to `NULL`, meaning that any pre-existing
+value for that column will be removed (resulting in a tombstone being
+created). Alternatively, if the `DEFAULT UNSET` directive is used after
+the value, omitted column values will be left unset, meaning that
+pre-existing values for those column will be preserved.
+
+== JSON Encoding of Cassandra Data Types
+
+Where possible, Cassandra will represent and accept data types in their
+native `JSON` representation. Cassandra will also accept string
+representations matching the CQL literal format for all single-field
+types. For example, floats, ints, UUIDs, and dates can be represented by
+CQL literal strings. However, compound types, such as collections,
+tuples, and user-defined types must be represented by native `JSON`
+collections (maps and lists) or a JSON-encoded string representation of
+the collection.
+
+The following table describes the encodings that Cassandra will accept
+in `INSERT JSON` values (and `from_json()` arguments) as well as the
+format Cassandra will use when returning data for `SELECT JSON`
+statements (and `from_json()`):
+
+[cols=",,,",options="header",]
+|===
+|Type |Formats accepted |Return format |Notes
+
+| `ascii` | string | string | Uses JSON's `\u` character escape
+
+| `bigint` | integer, string | integer | String must be valid 64 bit integer
+
+| `blob` | string | string | String should be 0x followed by an even number of hex digits
+
+| `boolean` | boolean, string | boolean | String must be "true" or "false"
+
+| `date` | string | string | Date in format `YYYY-MM-DD`, timezone UTC
+
+| `decimal` | integer, float, string | float | May exceed 32 or 64-bit IEEE-754 floating point precision in client-side decoder
+
+| `double` | integer, float, string | float | String must be valid integer or float
+
+| `float` | integer, float, string | float | String must be valid integer or float
+
+| `inet` | string | string | IPv4 or IPv6 address
+
+| `int` | integer, string | integer | String must be valid 32 bit integer
+
+| `list` | list, string | list | Uses JSON's native list representation
+
+| `map` | map, string | map | Uses JSON's native map representation
+
+| `smallint` | integer, string | integer | String must be valid 16 bit integer
+
+| `set` | list, string | list | Uses JSON's native list representation
+
+| `text` | string | string | Uses JSON's `\u` character escape
+
+| `time` | string | string | Time of day in format `HH-MM-SS[.fffffffff]`
+
+| `timestamp` | integer, string | string | A timestamp. Strings constant allows to input `timestamps
+as dates <timestamps>`. Datestamps with format `YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.SSS`
+are returned.
+
+| `timeuuid` | string | string | Type 1 UUID. See `constant` for the UUID format
+
+| `tinyint` | integer, string | integer | String must be valid 8 bit integer
+
+| `tuple` | list, string | list | Uses JSON's native list representation
+
+| `UDT` | map, string | map | Uses JSON's native map representation with field names as keys
+
+| `uuid` | string | string | See `constant` for the UUID format
+
+| `varchar` | string | string | Uses JSON's `\u` character escape
+
+| `varint` | integer, string | integer | Variable length; may overflow 32 or 64 bit integers in client-side decoder
+|===
+
+== The from_json() Function
+
+The `from_json()` function may be used similarly to `INSERT JSON`, but
+for a single column value. It may only be used in the `VALUES` clause of
+an `INSERT` statement or as one of the column values in an `UPDATE`,
+`DELETE`, or `SELECT` statement. For example, it cannot be used in the
+selection clause of a `SELECT` statement.
+
+== The to_json() Function
+
+The `to_json()` function may be used similarly to `SELECT JSON`, but for
+a single column value. It may only be used in the selection clause of a
+`SELECT` statement.

+role_name ::= identifier | string= Security
+
+[[cql-roles]]
+== Database Roles
+
+CQL uses database roles to represent users and group of users.
+Syntactically, a role is defined by:
+
+[source, bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/role_name.bnf[]
+----
+
+
+[[create-role-statement]]
+=== CREATE ROLE
+
+Creating a role uses the `CREATE ROLE` statement:
+
+[source, bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/create_role_statement.bnf[]
+----
+
+For instance:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/create_role.cql[]
+----
+
+By default roles do not possess `LOGIN` privileges or `SUPERUSER`
+status.
+
+xref:cql/security.adoc#cql-permissions[Permissions] on database resources are granted to
+roles; types of resources include keyspaces, tables, functions and roles
+themselves. Roles may be granted to other roles to create hierarchical
+permissions structures; in these hierarchies, permissions and
+`SUPERUSER` status are inherited, but the `LOGIN` privilege is not.
+
+If a role has the `LOGIN` privilege, clients may identify as that role
+when connecting. For the duration of that connection, the client will
+acquire any roles and privileges granted to that role.
+
+Only a client with with the `CREATE` permission on the database roles
+resource may issue `CREATE ROLE` requests (see the
+xref:cql/security.adoc#cql-permissions[relevant section]), unless the client is a
+`SUPERUSER`. Role management in Cassandra is pluggable and custom
+implementations may support only a subset of the listed options.
+
+Role names should be quoted if they contain non-alphanumeric characters.
+
+==== Setting credentials for internal authentication
+
+Use the `WITH PASSWORD` clause to set a password for internal
+authentication, enclosing the password in single quotation marks.
+
+If internal authentication has not been set up or the role does not have
+`LOGIN` privileges, the `WITH PASSWORD` clause is not necessary.
+
+USE `WITH HASHED PASSWORD` to provide the jBcrypt hashed password directly. See the `hash_password` tool.
+
+==== Restricting connections to specific datacenters
+
+If a `network_authorizer` has been configured, you can restrict login
+roles to specific datacenters with the `ACCESS TO DATACENTERS` clause
+followed by a set literal of datacenters the user can access. Not
+specifiying datacenters implicitly grants access to all datacenters. The
+clause `ACCESS TO ALL DATACENTERS` can be used for explicitness, but
+there's no functional difference.
+
+==== Creating a role conditionally
+
+Attempting to create an existing role results in an invalid query
+condition unless the `IF NOT EXISTS` option is used. If the option is
+used and the role exists, the statement is a no-op:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/create_role_ifnotexists.cql[]
+----
+
+[[alter-role-statement]]
+=== ALTER ROLE
+
+Altering a role options uses the `ALTER ROLE` statement:
+
+[source, bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/alter_role_statement.bnf[]
+----
+
+For example:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/alter_role.cql[]
+----
+If the role does not exist, the statement will return an error, unless `IF EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
+
+USE `WITH HASHED PASSWORD` to provide the jBcrypt hashed password directly. See the `hash_password` tool.
+
+==== Restricting connections to specific datacenters
+
+If a `network_authorizer` has been configured, you can restrict login
+roles to specific datacenters with the `ACCESS TO DATACENTERS` clause
+followed by a set literal of datacenters the user can access. To remove
+any data center restrictions, use the `ACCESS TO ALL DATACENTERS`
+clause.
+
+Conditions on executing `ALTER ROLE` statements:
+
+* a client must have `SUPERUSER` status to alter the `SUPERUSER` status
+of another role
+* a client cannot alter the `SUPERUSER` status of any role it currently
+holds
+* a client can only modify certain properties of the role with which it
+identified at login (e.g. `PASSWORD`)
+* to modify properties of a role, the client must be granted `ALTER`
+`permission <cql-permissions>` on that role
+
+[[drop-role-statement]]
+=== DROP ROLE
+
+Dropping a role uses the `DROP ROLE` statement:
+
+[source, bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/drop_role_statement.bnf[]
+----
+
+`DROP ROLE` requires the client to have `DROP`
+`permission <cql-permissions>` on the role in question. In addition,
+client may not `DROP` the role with which it identified at login.
+Finally, only a client with `SUPERUSER` status may `DROP` another
+`SUPERUSER` role.
+
+Attempting to drop a role which does not exist results in an invalid
+query condition unless the `IF EXISTS` option is used. If the option is
+used and the role does not exist the statement is a no-op.
+
+[NOTE]
+.Note
+====
+DROP ROLE intentionally does not terminate any open user sessions.
+Currently connected sessions will remain connected and will retain the
+ability to perform any database actions which do not require
+xref:cql/security.adoc#authorization[authorization]. 
+However, if authorization is enabled, xref:cql/security.adoc#cql-permissions[permissions] of the dropped role are also revoked,
+subject to the xref:cql/security.adoc#auth-caching[caching options] configured in xref:cql/configuring.adoc#cassandra.yaml[cassandra-yaml] file. 
+Should a dropped role be subsequently recreated and have new xref:security.adoc#grant-permission-statement[permissions] or
+xref:security.adoc#grant-role-statement[roles]` granted to it, any client sessions still
+connected will acquire the newly granted permissions and roles.
+====
+
+[[grant-role-statement]]
+=== GRANT ROLE
+
+Granting a role to another uses the `GRANT ROLE` statement:
+
+[source, bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/grant_role_statement.bnf[]
+----
+
+For example:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/grant_role.cql[]
+----
+
+This statement grants the `report_writer` role to `alice`. Any
+permissions granted to `report_writer` are also acquired by `alice`.
+
+Roles are modelled as a directed acyclic graph, so circular grants are
+not permitted. The following examples result in error conditions:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/role_error.cql[]
+----
+
+[[revoke-role-statement]]
+=== REVOKE ROLE
+
+Revoking a role uses the `REVOKE ROLE` statement:
+
+[source, bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/revoke_role_statement.bnf[]
+----
+
+For example:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/revoke_role.cql[]
+----
+
+This statement revokes the `report_writer` role from `alice`. Any
+permissions that `alice` has acquired via the `report_writer` role are
+also revoked.
+
+[[list-roles-statement]]
+=== LIST ROLES
+
+All the known roles (in the system or granted to specific role) can be
+listed using the `LIST ROLES` statement:
+
+[source, bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/list_roles_statement.bnf[]
+----
+
+For instance:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/list_roles.cql[]
+----
+
+returns all known roles in the system, this requires `DESCRIBE`
+permission on the database roles resource. 
+
+This example enumerates all roles granted to `alice`, including those transitively
+acquired:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/list_roles_of.cql[]
+----
+
+This example lists all roles directly granted to `bob` without including any of the
+transitively acquired ones:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/list_roles_nonrecursive.cql[]
+----
+
+== Users
+
+Prior to the introduction of roles in Cassandra 2.2, authentication and
+authorization were based around the concept of a `USER`. For backward
+compatibility, the legacy syntax has been preserved with `USER` centric
+statements becoming synonyms for the `ROLE` based equivalents. In other
+words, creating/updating a user is just a different syntax for
+creating/updating a role.
+
+[[create-user-statement]]
+=== CREATE USER
+
+Creating a user uses the `CREATE USER` statement:
+
+[source, bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/create_user_statement.bnf[]
+----
+
+For example:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/create_user.cql[]
+----
+
+The `CREATE USER` command is equivalent to `CREATE ROLE` where the `LOGIN` option is `true`. 
+So, the following pairs of statements are equivalent:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/create_user_role.cql[]
+----
+
+[[alter-user-statement]]
+=== ALTER USER
+
+Altering the options of a user uses the `ALTER USER` statement:
+
+[source, bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/alter_user_statement.bnf[]
+----
+If the role does not exist, the statement will return an error, unless `IF EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
+For example:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/alter_user.cql[]
+----
+
+[[drop-user-statement]]
+=== DROP USER
+
+Dropping a user uses the `DROP USER` statement:
+
+[source, bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/drop_user_statement.bnf[]
+----
+
+[[list-users-statement]]
+=== LIST USERS
+
+Existing users can be listed using the `LIST USERS` statement:
+
+[source, bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/list_users_statement.bnf[]
+----
+
+Note that this statement is equivalent to xref:security.adoc#list-roles-statement[`LIST ROLES], but only roles with the `LOGIN` privilege are included in the output.
+
+== Data Control
+
+[[cql-permissions]]
+=== Permissions
+
+Permissions on resources are granted to roles; there are several
+different types of resources in Cassandra and each type is modelled
+hierarchically:
+
+* The hierarchy of Data resources, Keyspaces and Tables has the
+structure `ALL KEYSPACES` -> `KEYSPACE` -> `TABLE`.
+* Function resources have the structure `ALL FUNCTIONS` -> `KEYSPACE` ->
+`FUNCTION`
+* Resources representing roles have the structure `ALL ROLES` -> `ROLE`
+* Resources representing JMX ObjectNames, which map to sets of
+MBeans/MXBeans, have the structure `ALL MBEANS` -> `MBEAN`
+
+Permissions can be granted at any level of these hierarchies and they
+flow downwards. So granting a permission on a resource higher up the
+chain automatically grants that same permission on all resources lower
+down. For example, granting `SELECT` on a `KEYSPACE` automatically
+grants it on all `TABLES` in that `KEYSPACE`. Likewise, granting a
+permission on `ALL FUNCTIONS` grants it on every defined function,
+regardless of which keyspace it is scoped in. It is also possible to
+grant permissions on all functions scoped to a particular keyspace.
+
+Modifications to permissions are visible to existing client sessions;
+that is, connections need not be re-established following permissions
+changes.
+
+The full set of available permissions is:
+
+* `CREATE`
+* `ALTER`
+* `DROP`
+* `SELECT`
+* `MODIFY`
+* `AUTHORIZE`
+* `DESCRIBE`
+* `EXECUTE`
+* `UNMASK`
+* `SELECT_MASKED`
+
+Not all permissions are applicable to every type of resource. For
+instance, `EXECUTE` is only relevant in the context of functions or
+mbeans; granting `EXECUTE` on a resource representing a table is
+nonsensical. Attempting to `GRANT` a permission on resource to which it
+cannot be applied results in an error response. The following
+illustrates which permissions can be granted on which types of resource,
+and which statements are enabled by that permission.

+
+[[grant-permission-statement]]
+=== GRANT PERMISSION
+
+Granting a permission uses the `GRANT PERMISSION` statement:
+
+[source, bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/grant_permission_statement.bnf[]
+----
+
+For example:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/grant_perm.cql[]
+----
+
+This example gives any user with the role `data_reader` permission to execute
+`SELECT` statements on any table across all keyspaces:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/grant_modify.cql[]
+----
+
+To give any user with the role `data_writer` permission to perform
+`UPDATE`, `INSERT`, `UPDATE`, `DELETE` and `TRUNCATE` queries on all
+tables in the `keyspace1` keyspace:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/grant_drop.cql[]
+----
+
+To give any user with the `schema_owner` role permissions to `DROP` a specific
+`keyspace1.table1`:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/grant_execute.cql[]
+----
+
+This command grants any user with the `report_writer` role permission to execute
+`SELECT`, `INSERT` and `UPDATE` queries which use the function
+`keyspace1.user_function( int )`:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/grant_describe.cql[]
+----
+
+This grants any user with the `role_admin` role permission to view any
+and all roles in the system with a `LIST ROLES` statement.
+
+==== GRANT ALL
+
+When the `GRANT ALL` form is used, the appropriate set of permissions is
+determined automatically based on the target resource.
+
+==== Automatic Granting
+
+When a resource is created, via a `CREATE KEYSPACE`, `CREATE TABLE`,
+`CREATE FUNCTION`, `CREATE AGGREGATE` or `CREATE ROLE` statement, the
+creator (the role the database user who issues the statement is
+identified as), is automatically granted all applicable permissions on
+the new resource.
+
+[[revoke-permission-statement]]
+=== REVOKE PERMISSION
+
+Revoking a permission from a role uses the `REVOKE PERMISSION`
+statement:
+
+[source, bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/revoke_permission_statement.bnf[]
+----
+
+For example:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/revoke_perm.cql[]
+----
+
+Because of their function in normal driver operations, certain tables
+cannot have their `SELECT` permissions revoked. The
+following tables will be available to all authorized users regardless of
+their assigned role:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/no_revoke.cql[]
+----
+
+[[list-permissions-statement]]
+=== LIST PERMISSIONS
+
+Listing granted permissions uses the `LIST PERMISSIONS` statement:
+
+[source, bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/list_permissions_statement.bnf[]
+----
+
+For example:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/list_perm.cql[]
+----
+
+Show all permissions granted to `alice`, including those acquired
+transitively from any other roles:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/list_all_perm.cql[]
+----
+
+Show all permissions on `keyspace1.table1` granted to `bob`, including
+those acquired transitively from any other roles. This also includes any
+permissions higher up the resource hierarchy which can be applied to
+`keyspace1.table1`. For example, should `bob` have `ALTER` permission on
+`keyspace1`, that would be included in the results of this query. Adding
+the `NORECURSIVE` switch restricts the results to only those permissions
+which were directly granted to `bob` or one of `bob`'s roles:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/list_select_perm.cql[]
+----
+
+Show any permissions granted to `carlos` or any of `carlos`'s roles,
+limited to `SELECT` permissions on any resource.

+= Data Types
+
+CQL is a typed language and supports a rich set of data types, including
+xref:cql/types.adoc#native-types[native types], xref:cql/types.adoc#collections[collection types],
+xref:cql/types.adoc#udts[user-defined types], xref:cql/types.adoc#tuples[tuple types], and xref:cql/types.adoc#custom-types[custom
+types]:
+
+[source, bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/cql_type.bnf[]
+----
+
+== Native types
+
+The native types supported by CQL are:
+
+[source, bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/native_type.bnf[]
+----
+
+The following table gives additional informations on the native data
+types, and on which kind of xref:cql/definitions.adoc#constants[constants] each type supports:
+
+[cols=",,",options="header",]
+|===
+| Type | Constants supported | Description
+
+| `ascii` | `string` | ASCII character string
+| `bigint` | `integer` | 64-bit signed long
+| `blob` | `blob` | Arbitrary bytes (no validation)
+| `boolean` | `boolean` | Either `true` or `false` 
+| `counter` | `integer` | Counter column (64-bit signed value). See `counters` for details.
+| `date` | `integer`, `string` | A date (with no corresponding time value). See `dates` below for details.
+| `decimal` | `integer`, `float` | Variable-precision decimal
+| `double` | `integer` `float` | 64-bit IEEE-754 floating point
+| `duration` | `duration`, | A duration with nanosecond precision. See `durations` below for details.
+| `float` | `integer`, `float` | 32-bit IEEE-754 floating point
+| `inet` | `string` | An IP address, either IPv4 (4 bytes long) or IPv6 (16 bytes long). Note
+that there is no `inet` constant, IP address should be input as strings.
+| `int` | `integer` | 32-bit signed int
+| `smallint` | `integer` | 16-bit signed int
+| `text` | `string` | UTF8 encoded string
+| `time` | `integer`, `string` | A time (with no corresponding date value) with nanosecond precision. See
+`times` below for details.
+| `timestamp` | `integer`, `string` | A timestamp (date and time) with millisecond precision. See `timestamps`
+below for details.
+| `timeuuid` | `uuid` | Version 1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier[UUID],
+generally used as a “conflict-free” timestamp. Also see `timeuuid-functions`.
+| `tinyint` | `integer` | 8-bit signed int
+| `uuid` | `uuid` | A https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier[UUID] (of any version)
+| `varchar` | `string` | UTF8 encoded string
+| `varint` | `integer` | Arbitrary-precision integer
+|===
+
+=== Counters
+
+The `counter` type is used to define _counter columns_. A counter column
+is a column whose value is a 64-bit signed integer and on which 2
+operations are supported: incrementing and decrementing (see the
+xref:cql/dml.adoc#update-statement[UPDATE] statement for syntax). 
+Note that the value of a counter cannot
+be set: a counter does not exist until first incremented/decremented,
+and that first increment/decrement is made as if the prior value was 0.
+
+[[counter-limitations]]
+Counters have a number of important limitations:
+
+* They cannot be used for columns part of the `PRIMARY KEY` of a table.
+* A table that contains a counter can only contain counters. In other
+words, either all the columns of a table outside the `PRIMARY KEY` have
+the `counter` type, or none of them have it.
+* Counters do not support xref:cql/dml.adoc#writetime-and-ttl-function[expiration].
+* The deletion of counters is supported, but is only guaranteed to work
+the first time you delete a counter. In other words, you should not
+re-update a counter that you have deleted (if you do, proper behavior is
+not guaranteed).
+* Counter updates are, by nature, not
+https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idempotence[idemptotent]. An important
+consequence is that if a counter update fails unexpectedly (timeout or
+loss of connection to the coordinator node), the client has no way to
+know if the update has been applied or not. In particular, replaying the
+update may or may not lead to an over count.
+
+[[timestamps]]
+== Working with timestamps
+
+Values of the `timestamp` type are encoded as 64-bit signed integers
+representing a number of milliseconds since the standard base time known
+as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time[the epoch]: January 1 1970 at
+00:00:00 GMT.
+
+Timestamps can be input in CQL either using their value as an `integer`,
+or using a `string` that represents an
+https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601[ISO 8601] date. For instance, all
+of the values below are valid `timestamp` values for Mar 2, 2011, at
+04:05:00 AM, GMT:
+
+* `1299038700000`
+* `'2011-02-03 04:05+0000'`
+* `'2011-02-03 04:05:00+0000'`
+* `'2011-02-03 04:05:00.000+0000'`
+* `'2011-02-03T04:05+0000'`
+* `'2011-02-03T04:05:00+0000'`
+* `'2011-02-03T04:05:00.000+0000'`
+
+The `+0000` above is an RFC 822 4-digit time zone specification; `+0000`
+refers to GMT. US Pacific Standard Time is `-0800`. The time zone may be
+omitted if desired (`'2011-02-03 04:05:00'`), and if so, the date will
+be interpreted as being in the time zone under which the coordinating
+Cassandra node is configured. There are however difficulties inherent in
+relying on the time zone configuration being as expected, so it is
+recommended that the time zone always be specified for timestamps when
+feasible.
+
+The time of day may also be omitted (`'2011-02-03'` or
+`'2011-02-03+0000'`), in which case the time of day will default to
+00:00:00 in the specified or default time zone. However, if only the
+date part is relevant, consider using the xref:cql/types.adoc#dates[date] type.
+
+[[dates]]
+== Date type
+
+Values of the `date` type are encoded as 32-bit unsigned integers
+representing a number of days with “the epoch” at the center of the
+range (2^31). Epoch is January 1st, 1970
+
+For xref:cql/types.adoc#timestamps[timestamps], a date can be input either as an
+`integer` or using a date `string`. In the later case, the format should
+be `yyyy-mm-dd` (so `'2011-02-03'` for instance).
+
+[[times]]
+== Time type
+
+Values of the `time` type are encoded as 64-bit signed integers
+representing the number of nanoseconds since midnight.
+
+For xref:cql/types.adoc#timestamps[timestamps], a time can be input either as an
+`integer` or using a `string` representing the time. In the later case,
+the format should be `hh:mm:ss[.fffffffff]` (where the sub-second
+precision is optional and if provided, can be less than the nanosecond).
+So for instance, the following are valid inputs for a time:
+
+* `'08:12:54'`
+* `'08:12:54.123'`
+* `'08:12:54.123456'`
+* `'08:12:54.123456789'`
+
+[[durations]]
+== Duration type
+
+Values of the `duration` type are encoded as 3 signed integer of
+variable lengths. The first integer represents the number of months, the
+second the number of days and the third the number of nanoseconds. This
+is due to the fact that the number of days in a month can change, and a
+day can have 23 or 25 hours depending on the daylight saving.
+Internally, the number of months and days are decoded as 32 bits
+integers whereas the number of nanoseconds is decoded as a 64 bits
+integer.
+
+A duration can be input as:
+
+* `(quantity unit)+` like `12h30m` where the unit can be:
+** `y`: years (12 months)
+** `mo`: months (1 month)
+** `w`: weeks (7 days)
+** `d`: days (1 day)
+** `h`: hours (3,600,000,000,000 nanoseconds)
+** `m`: minutes (60,000,000,000 nanoseconds)
+** `s`: seconds (1,000,000,000 nanoseconds)
+** `ms`: milliseconds (1,000,000 nanoseconds)
+** `us` or `µs` : microseconds (1000 nanoseconds)
+** `ns`: nanoseconds (1 nanosecond)
+* ISO 8601 format: `P[n]Y[n]M[n]DT[n]H[n]M[n]S or P[n]W`
+* ISO 8601 alternative format: `P[YYYY]-[MM]-[DD]T[hh]:[mm]:[ss]`
+
+For example:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/insert_duration.cql[]
+----
+
+[[duration-limitation]]
+Duration columns cannot be used in a table's `PRIMARY KEY`. This
+limitation is due to the fact that durations cannot be ordered. It is
+effectively not possible to know if `1mo` is greater than `29d` without
+a date context.
+
+A `1d` duration is not equal to a `24h` one as the duration type has
+been created to be able to support daylight saving.
+
+== Collections
+
+CQL supports three kinds of collections: `maps`, `sets` and `lists`. The
+types of those collections is defined by:
+
+[source,bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/collection_type.bnf[]
+----
+
+and their values can be inputd using collection literals:
+
+[source,bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/collection_literal.bnf[]
+----
+
+Note however that neither `bind_marker` nor `NULL` are supported inside
+collection literals.
+
+=== Noteworthy characteristics
+
+Collections are meant for storing/denormalizing relatively small amount
+of data. They work well for things like “the phone numbers of a given
+user”, “labels applied to an email”, etc. But when items are expected to
+grow unbounded (“all messages sent by a user”, “events registered by a
+sensor”...), then collections are not appropriate and a specific table
+(with clustering columns) should be used. Concretely, (non-frozen)
+collections have the following noteworthy characteristics and
+limitations:
+
+* Individual collections are not indexed internally. Which means that
+even to access a single element of a collection, the whole collection
+has to be read (and reading one is not paged internally).
+* While insertion operations on sets and maps never incur a
+read-before-write internally, some operations on lists do. Further, some
+lists operations are not idempotent by nature (see the section on
+xref:cql/types.adoc#lists[lists] below for details), making their retry in case of
+timeout problematic. It is thus advised to prefer sets over lists when
+possible.
+
+Please note that while some of those limitations may or may not be
+removed/improved upon in the future, it is a anti-pattern to use a
+(single) collection to store large amounts of data.
+
+=== Maps
+
+A `map` is a (sorted) set of key-value pairs, where keys are unique and
+the map is sorted by its keys. You can define and insert a map with:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/map.cql[]
+----
+
+Further, maps support:
+
+* Updating or inserting one or more elements:
++
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/update_map.cql[]
+----
+* Removing one or more element (if an element doesn't exist, removing it
+is a no-op but no error is thrown):
++
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/delete_map.cql[]
+----
++
+Note that for removing multiple elements in a `map`, you remove from it
+a `set` of keys.
+
+Lastly, TTLs are allowed for both `INSERT` and `UPDATE`, but in both
+cases the TTL set only apply to the newly inserted/updated elements. In
+other words:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/update_ttl_map.cql[]
+----
+
+will only apply the TTL to the `{ 'color' : 'green' }` record, the rest
+of the map remaining unaffected.
+
+=== Sets
+
+A `set` is a (sorted) collection of unique values. You can define and
+insert a set with:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/set.cql[]
+----
+
+Further, sets support:
+
+* Adding one or multiple elements (as this is a set, inserting an
+already existing element is a no-op):
++
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/update_set.cql[]
+----
+* Removing one or multiple elements (if an element doesn't exist,
+removing it is a no-op but no error is thrown):
++
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/delete_set.cql[]
+----
+
+Lastly, for xref:cql/types.adoc#sets[sets], TTLs are only applied to newly inserted values.
+
+=== Lists
+
+[NOTE]
+.Note
+====
+As mentioned above and further discussed at the end of this section,
+lists have limitations and specific performance considerations that you
+should take into account before using them. In general, if you can use a
+xref:cql/types.adoc#sets[set] instead of list, always prefer a set.
+====
+
+A `list` is a (sorted) collection of non-unique values where
+elements are ordered by their position in the list. You can define and
+insert a list with:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/list.cql[]
+----
+
+Further, lists support:
+
+* Appending and prepending values to a list:
++
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/update_list.cql[]
+----
+
+[WARNING]
+.Warning
+====
+The append and prepend operations are not idempotent by nature. So in
+particular, if one of these operations times out, then retrying the
+operation is not safe and it may (or may not) lead to
+appending/prepending the value twice.
+====
+
+* Setting the value at a particular position in a list that has a pre-existing element for that position. An error
+will be thrown if the list does not have the position:
++
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/update_particular_list_element.cql[]
+----
+* Removing an element by its position in the list that has a pre-existing element for that position. An error
+will be thrown if the list does not have the position. Further, as the operation removes an
+element from the list, the list size will decrease by one element, shifting
+the position of all the following elements one forward:
++
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/delete_element_list.cql[]
+----
+
+* Deleting _all_ the occurrences of particular values in the list (if a
+particular element doesn't occur at all in the list, it is simply
+ignored and no error is thrown):
++
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/delete_all_elements_list.cql[]
+----
+
+[WARNING]
+.Warning
+====
+Setting and removing an element by position and removing occurences of
+particular values incur an internal _read-before-write_. These operations will
+run slowly and use more resources than usual updates (with the
+exclusion of conditional write that have their own cost).
+====
+
+Lastly, for xref:cql/types.adoc#lists[lists], TTLs only apply to newly inserted values.
+
+[[udts]]
+== User-Defined Types (UDTs)
+
+CQL support the definition of user-defined types (UDTs). Such a
+type can be created, modified and removed using the
+`create_type_statement`, `alter_type_statement` and
+`drop_type_statement` described below. But once created, a UDT is simply
+referred to by its name:
+
+[source, bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/udt.bnf[]
+----
+
+=== Creating a UDT
+
+Creating a new user-defined type is done using a `CREATE TYPE` statement
+defined by:
+
+[source, bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/create_type.bnf[]
+----
+
+A UDT has a name (used to declared columns of that type) and is a set of
+named and typed fields. Fields name can be any type, including
+collections or other UDT. For instance:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/udt.cql[]
+----
+
+Things to keep in mind about UDTs:
+
+* Attempting to create an already existing type will result in an error
+unless the `IF NOT EXISTS` option is used. If it is used, the statement
+will be a no-op if the type already exists.
+* A type is intrinsically bound to the keyspace in which it is created,
+and can only be used in that keyspace. At creation, if the type name is
+prefixed by a keyspace name, it is created in that keyspace. Otherwise,
+it is created in the current keyspace.
+* As of Cassandra , UDT have to be frozen in most cases, hence the
+`frozen<address>` in the table definition above.
+
+=== UDT literals
+
+Once a user-defined type has been created, value can be input using a
+UDT literal:
+
+[source,bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/udt_literal.bnf[]
+----
+
+In other words, a UDT literal is like a xref:cql/types.adoc#maps[map]` literal but its
+keys are the names of the fields of the type. For instance, one could
+insert into the table define in the previous section using:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/insert_udt.cql[]
+----
+
+To be valid, a UDT literal can only include fields defined by the
+type it is a literal of, but it can omit some fields (these will be set to `NULL`).
+
+=== Altering a UDT
+
+An existing user-defined type can be modified using an `ALTER TYPE`
+statement:
+
+[source,bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/alter_udt_statement.bnf[]
+----
+If the type does not exist, the statement will return an error, unless `IF EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
+You can:
+
+* Add a new field to the type (`ALTER TYPE address ADD country text`).
+That new field will be `NULL` for any values of the type created before
+the addition. If the new field exists, the statement will return an error, unless `IF NOT EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
+* Rename the fields of the type. If the field(s) does not exist, the statement will return an error, unless `IF EXISTS` is used in which case the operation is a no-op.
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/rename_udt_field.cql[]
+----
+
+=== Dropping a UDT
+
+You can drop an existing user-defined type using a `DROP TYPE`
+statement:
+
+[source,bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/drop_udt_statement.bnf[]
+----
+
+Dropping a type results in the immediate, irreversible removal of that
+type. However, attempting to drop a type that is still in use by another
+type, table or function will result in an error.
+
+If the type dropped does not exist, an error will be returned unless
+`IF EXISTS` is used, in which case the operation is a no-op.
+
+== Tuples
+
+CQL also support tuples and tuple types (where the elements can be of
+different types). Functionally, tuples can be though as anonymous UDT
+with anonymous fields. Tuple types and tuple literals are defined by:
+
+[source,bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/tuple.bnf[]
+----
+
+and can be created:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/tuple.cql[]
+----
+
+Unlike other composed types, like collections and UDTs, a tuple is always
+`frozen <frozen>` (without the need of the `frozen` keyword)
+and it is not possible to update only some elements of a tuple (without
+updating the whole tuple). Also, a tuple literal should always have the
+same number of value than declared in the type it is a tuple of (some of
+those values can be null but they need to be explicitly declared as so).
+
+== Custom Types
+
+[NOTE]
+.Note
+====
+Custom types exists mostly for backward compatibility purposes and their
+usage is discouraged. Their usage is complex, not user friendly and the
+other provided types, particularly xref:cql/types.adoc#udts[user-defined types], should
+almost always be enough.
+====
+
+A custom type is defined by:
+
+[source,bnf]
+----
+include::example$BNF/custom_type.bnf[]
+----
+
+A custom type is a `string` that contains the name of Java class that
+extends the server side `AbstractType` class and that can be loaded by
+Cassandra (it should thus be in the `CLASSPATH` of every node running
+Cassandra). That class will define what values are valid for the type
+and how the time sorts when used for a clustering column. For any other
+purpose, a value of a custom type is the same than that of a `blob`, and
+can in particular be input using the `blob` literal syntax.

+= Conceptual Data Modeling
+
+First, let’s create a simple domain model that is easy to understand in
+the relational world, and then see how you might map it from a
+relational to a distributed hashtable model in Cassandra.
+
+Let's use an example that is complex enough to show the various data
+structures and design patterns, but not something that will bog you down
+with details. Also, a domain that’s familiar to everyone will allow you
+to concentrate on how to work with Cassandra, not on what the
+application domain is all about.
+
+For example, let's use a domain that is easily understood and that
+everyone can relate to: making hotel reservations.
+
+The conceptual domain includes hotels, guests that stay in the hotels, a
+collection of rooms for each hotel, the rates and availability of those
+rooms, and a record of reservations booked for guests. Hotels typically
+also maintain a collection of “points of interest,” which are parks,
+museums, shopping galleries, monuments, or other places near the hotel
+that guests might want to visit during their stay. Both hotels and
+points of interest need to maintain geolocation data so that they can be
+found on maps for mashups, and to calculate distances.
+
+The conceptual domain is depicted below using the entity–relationship
+model popularized by Peter Chen. This simple diagram represents the
+entities in the domain with rectangles, and attributes of those entities
+with ovals. Attributes that represent unique identifiers for items are
+underlined. Relationships between entities are represented as diamonds,
+and the connectors between the relationship and each entity show the
+multiplicity of the connection.
+
+image::data-modeling_hotel_erd.png[image]
+
+Obviously, in the real world, there would be many more considerations
+and much more complexity. For example, hotel rates are notoriously
+dynamic, and calculating them involves a wide array of factors. Here
+you’re defining something complex enough to be interesting and touch on
+the important points, but simple enough to maintain the focus on
+learning Cassandra.

+= Logical Data Modeling
+
+Now that you have defined your queries, you’re ready to begin designing
+Cassandra tables. First, create a logical model containing a table for
+each query, capturing entities and relationships from the conceptual
+model.
+
+To name each table, you’ll identify the primary entity type for which
+you are querying and use that to start the entity name. If you are
+querying by attributes of other related entities, append those to the
+table name, separated with `_by_`. For example, `hotels_by_poi`.
+
+Next, you identify the primary key for the table, adding partition key
+columns based on the required query attributes, and clustering columns
+in order to guarantee uniqueness and support desired sort ordering.
+
+The design of the primary key is extremely important, as it will
+determine how much data will be stored in each partition and how that
+data is organized on disk, which in turn will affect how quickly
+Cassandra processes reads.
+
+Complete each table by adding any additional attributes identified by
+the query. If any of these additional attributes are the same for every
+instance of the partition key, mark the column as static.
+
+Now that was a pretty quick description of a fairly involved process, so
+it will be worthwhile to work through a detailed example. First, let’s
+introduce a notation that you can use to represent logical models.
+
+Several individuals within the Cassandra community have proposed
+notations for capturing data models in diagrammatic form. This document
+uses a notation popularized by Artem Chebotko which provides a simple,
+informative way to visualize the relationships between queries and
+tables in your designs. This figure shows the Chebotko notation for a
+logical data model.
+
+image::data-modeling_chebotko_logical.png[image]
+
+Each table is shown with its title and a list of columns. Primary key
+columns are identified via symbols such as *K* for partition key columns
+and **C**↑ or **C**↓ to represent clustering columns. Lines are shown
+entering tables or between tables to indicate the queries that each
+table is designed to support.
+
+== Hotel Logical Data Model
+
+The figure below shows a Chebotko logical data model for the queries
+involving hotels, points of interest, rooms, and amenities. One thing
+you'll notice immediately is that the Cassandra design doesn’t include
+dedicated tables for rooms or amenities, as you had in the relational
+design. This is because the workflow didn’t identify any queries
+requiring this direct access.
+
+image::data-modeling_hotel_logical.png[image]
+
+Let’s explore the details of each of these tables.
+
+The first query Q1 is to find hotels near a point of interest, so you’ll
+call this table `hotels_by_poi`. Searching by a named point of interest
+is a clue that the point of interest should be a part of the primary
+key. Let’s reference the point of interest by name, because according to
+the workflow that is how users will start their search.
+
+You’ll note that you certainly could have more than one hotel near a
+given point of interest, so you’ll need another component in the primary
+key in order to make sure you have a unique partition for each hotel. So
+you add the hotel key as a clustering column.
+
+An important consideration in designing your table’s primary key is
+making sure that it defines a unique data element. Otherwise you run the
+risk of accidentally overwriting data.
+
+Now for the second query (Q2), you’ll need a table to get information
+about a specific hotel. One approach would have been to put all of the
+attributes of a hotel in the `hotels_by_poi` table, but you added only
+those attributes that were required by the application workflow.
+
+From the workflow diagram, you know that the `hotels_by_poi` table is
+used to display a list of hotels with basic information on each hotel,
+and the application knows the unique identifiers of the hotels returned.
+When the user selects a hotel to view details, you can then use Q2,
+which is used to obtain details about the hotel. Because you already
+have the `hotel_id` from Q1, you use that as a reference to the hotel
+you’re looking for. Therefore the second table is just called `hotels`.
+
+Another option would have been to store a set of `poi_names` in the
+hotels table. This is an equally valid approach. You’ll learn through
+experience which approach is best for your application.
+
+Q3 is just a reverse of Q1—looking for points of interest near a hotel,
+rather than hotels near a point of interest. This time, however, you
+need to access the details of each point of interest, as represented by
+the `pois_by_hotel` table. As previously, you add the point of interest
+name as a clustering key to guarantee uniqueness.
+
+At this point, let’s now consider how to support query Q4 to help the
+user find available rooms at a selected hotel for the nights they are
+interested in staying. Note that this query involves both a start date
+and an end date. Because you’re querying over a range instead of a
+single date, you know that you’ll need to use the date as a clustering
+key. Use the `hotel_id` as a primary key to group room data for each
+hotel on a single partition, which should help searches be super fast.
+Let’s call this the `available_rooms_by_hotel_date` table.
+
+To support searching over a range, use `clustering columns
+<clustering-columns>` to store attributes that you need to access in a
+range query. Remember that the order of the clustering columns is
+important.
+
+The design of the `available_rooms_by_hotel_date` table is an instance
+of the *wide partition* pattern. This pattern is sometimes called the
+*wide row* pattern when discussing databases that support similar
+models, but wide partition is a more accurate description from a
+Cassandra perspective. The essence of the pattern is to group multiple
+related rows in a partition in order to support fast access to multiple
+rows within the partition in a single query.
+
+In order to round out the shopping portion of the data model, add the
+`amenities_by_room` table to support Q5. This will allow users to view
+the amenities of one of the rooms that is available for the desired stay
+dates.
+
+== Reservation Logical Data Model
+
+Now let's switch gears to look at the reservation queries. The figure
+shows a logical data model for reservations. You’ll notice that these
+tables represent a denormalized design; the same data appears in
+multiple tables, with differing keys.
+
+image::data-modeling_reservation_logical.png[image]
+
+In order to satisfy Q6, the `reservations_by_guest` table can be used to
+look up the reservation by guest name. You could envision query Q7 being
+used on behalf of a guest on a self-serve website or a call center agent
+trying to assist the guest. Because the guest name might not be unique,
+you include the guest ID here as a clustering column as well.
+
+Q8 and Q9 in particular help to remind you to create queries that
+support various stakeholders of the application, not just customers but
+staff as well, and perhaps even the analytics team, suppliers, and so
+on.
+
+The hotel staff might wish to see a record of upcoming reservations by
+date in order to get insight into how the hotel is performing, such as
+what dates the hotel is sold out or undersold. Q8 supports the retrieval
+of reservations for a given hotel by date.
+
+Finally, you create a `guests` table. This provides a single location
+that used to store guest information. In this case, you specify a
+separate unique identifier for guest records, as it is not uncommon for
+guests to have the same name. In many organizations, a customer database
+such as the `guests` table would be part of a separate customer
+management application, which is why other guest access patterns were
+omitted from the example.
+
+== Patterns and Anti-Patterns
+
+As with other types of software design, there are some well-known
+patterns and anti-patterns for data modeling in Cassandra. You’ve
+already used one of the most common patterns in this hotel model—the
+wide partition pattern.
+
+The *time series* pattern is an extension of the wide partition pattern.
+In this pattern, a series of measurements at specific time intervals are
+stored in a wide partition, where the measurement time is used as part
+of the partition key. This pattern is frequently used in domains
+including business analysis, sensor data management, and scientific
+experiments.
+
+The time series pattern is also useful for data other than measurements.
+Consider the example of a banking application. You could store each
+customer’s balance in a row, but that might lead to a lot of read and
+write contention as various customers check their balance or make
+transactions. You’d probably be tempted to wrap a transaction around
+writes just to protect the balance from being updated in error. In
+contrast, a time series–style design would store each transaction as a
+timestamped row and leave the work of calculating the current balance to
+the application.
+
+One design trap that many new users fall into is attempting to use
+Cassandra as a queue. Each item in the queue is stored with a timestamp
+in a wide partition. Items are appended to the end of the queue and read
+from the front, being deleted after they are read. This is a design that
+seems attractive, especially given its apparent similarity to the time
+series pattern. The problem with this approach is that the deleted items
+are now `tombstones <asynch-deletes>` that Cassandra must scan past in
+order to read from the front of the queue. Over time, a growing number
+of tombstones begins to degrade read performance.
+
+The queue anti-pattern serves as a reminder that any design that relies
+on the deletion of data is potentially a poorly performing design.

+= Physical Data Modeling
+
+Once you have a logical data model defined, creating the physical model
+is a relatively simple process.
+
+You walk through each of the logical model tables, assigning types to
+each item. You can use any valid `CQL data type <data-types>`, including
+the basic types, collections, and user-defined types. You may identify
+additional user-defined types that can be created to simplify your
+design.
+
+After you’ve assigned data types, you analyze the model by performing
+size calculations and testing out how the model works. You may make some
+adjustments based on your findings. Once again let's cover the data
+modeling process in more detail by working through an example.
+
+Before getting started, let’s look at a few additions to the Chebotko
+notation for physical data models. To draw physical models, you need to
+be able to add the typing information for each column. This figure shows
+the addition of a type for each column in a sample table.
+
+image::data-modeling_chebotko_physical.png[image]
+
+The figure includes a designation of the keyspace containing each table
+and visual cues for columns represented using collections and
+user-defined types. Note the designation of static columns and secondary
+index columns. There is no restriction on assigning these as part of a
+logical model, but they are typically more of a physical data modeling
+concern.
+
+== Hotel Physical Data Model
+
+Now let’s get to work on the physical model. First, you need keyspaces
+to contain the tables. To keep the design relatively simple, create a
+`hotel` keyspace to contain tables for hotel and availability data, and
+a `reservation` keyspace to contain tables for reservation and guest
+data. In a real system, you might divide the tables across even more
+keyspaces in order to separate concerns.
+
+For the `hotels` table, use Cassandra’s `text` type to represent the
+hotel’s `id`. For the address, create an `address` user defined type.
+Use the `text` type to represent the phone number, as there is
+considerable variance in the formatting of numbers between countries.
+
+While it would make sense to use the `uuid` type for attributes such as
+the `hotel_id`, this document uses mostly `text` attributes as
+identifiers, to keep the samples simple and readable. For example, a
+common convention in the hospitality industry is to reference properties
+by short codes like "AZ123" or "NY229". This example uses these values
+for `hotel_ids`, while acknowledging they are not necessarily globally
+unique.
+
+You’ll find that it’s often helpful to use unique IDs to uniquely
+reference elements, and to use these `uuids` as references in tables
+representing other entities. This helps to minimize coupling between
+different entity types. This may prove especially effective if you are
+using a microservice architectural style for your application, in which
+there are separate services responsible for each entity type.
+
+As you work to create physical representations of various tables in the
+logical hotel data model, you use the same approach. The resulting
+design is shown in this figure:
+
+image::data-modeling_hotel_physical.png[image]
+
+Note that the `address` type is also included in the design. It is
+designated with an asterisk to denote that it is a user-defined type,
+and has no primary key columns identified. This type is used in the
+`hotels` and `hotels_by_poi` tables.
+
+User-defined types are frequently used to help reduce duplication of
+non-primary key columns, as was done with the `address` user-defined
+type. This can reduce complexity in the design.
+
+Remember that the scope of a UDT is the keyspace in which it is defined.
+To use `address` in the `reservation` keyspace defined below design,
+you’ll have to declare it again. This is just one of the many trade-offs
+you have to make in data model design.
+
+== Reservation Physical Data Model
+
+Now, let’s examine reservation tables in the design. Remember that the
+logical model contained three denormalized tables to support queries for
+reservations by confirmation number, guest, and hotel and date. For the
+first iteration of your physical data model design, assume you're going
+to manage this denormalization manually. Note that this design could be
+revised to use Cassandra’s (experimental) materialized view feature.
+
+image::data-modeling_reservation_physical.png[image]
+
+Note that the `address` type is reproduced in this keyspace and
+`guest_id` is modeled as a `uuid` type in all of the tables.

+= Defining Application Queries
+
+Let’s try the query-first approach to start designing the data model for
+a hotel application. The user interface design for the application is
+often a great artifact to use to begin identifying queries. Let’s assume
+that you’ve talked with the project stakeholders and your UX designers
+have produced user interface designs or wireframes for the key use
+cases. You’ll likely have a list of shopping queries like the following:
+
+* Q1. Find hotels near a given point of interest.
+* Q2. Find information about a given hotel, such as its name and
+location.
+* Q3. Find points of interest near a given hotel.
+* Q4. Find an available room in a given date range.
+* Q5. Find the rate and amenities for a room.
+
+It is often helpful to be able to refer to queries by a shorthand number
+rather that explaining them in full. The queries listed here are
+numbered Q1, Q2, and so on, which is how they are referenced in diagrams
+throughout the example.
+
+Now if the application is to be a success, you’ll certainly want
+customers to be able to book reservations at hotels. This includes steps
+such as selecting an available room and entering their guest
+information. So clearly you will also need some queries that address the
+reservation and guest entities from the conceptual data model. Even
+here, however, you’ll want to think not only from the customer
+perspective in terms of how the data is written, but also in terms of
+how the data will be queried by downstream use cases.
+
+You natural tendency as might be to focus first on designing the tables
+to store reservation and guest records, and only then start thinking
+about the queries that would access them. You may have felt a similar
+tension already when discussing the shopping queries before, thinking
+“but where did the hotel and point of interest data come from?” Don’t
+worry, you will see soon enough. Here are some queries that describe how
+users will access reservations:
+
+* Q6. Lookup a reservation by confirmation number.
+* Q7. Lookup a reservation by hotel, date, and guest name.
+* Q8. Lookup all reservations by guest name.
+* Q9. View guest details.
+
+All of the queries are shown in the context of the workflow of the
+application in the figure below. Each box on the diagram represents a
+step in the application workflow, with arrows indicating the flows
+between steps and the associated query. If you’ve modeled the
+application well, each step of the workflow accomplishes a task that
+“unlocks” subsequent steps. For example, the “View hotels near POI” task
+helps the application learn about several hotels, including their unique
+keys. The key for a selected hotel may be used as part of Q2, in order
+to obtain detailed description of the hotel. The act of booking a room
+creates a reservation record that may be accessed by the guest and hotel
+staff at a later time through various additional queries.

+= RDBMS Design
+
+When you set out to build a new data-driven application that will use a
+relational database, you might start by modeling the domain as a set of
+properly normalized tables and use foreign keys to reference related
+data in other tables.
+
+The figure below shows how you might represent the data storage for your
+application using a relational database model. The relational model
+includes a couple of “join” tables in order to realize the many-to-many
+relationships from the conceptual model of hotels-to-points of interest,
+rooms-to-amenities, rooms-to-availability, and guests-to-rooms (via a
+reservation).
+
+image::data-modeling_hotel_relational.png[image]
+
+== Design Differences Between RDBMS and Cassandra
+
+Let’s take a minute to highlight some of the key differences in doing
+data modeling for Cassandra versus a relational database.
+
+=== No joins
+
+You cannot perform joins in Cassandra. If you have designed a data model
+and find that you need something like a join, you’ll have to either do
+the work on the client side, or create a denormalized second table that
+represents the join results for you. This latter option is preferred in
+Cassandra data modeling. Performing joins on the client should be a very
+rare case; you really want to duplicate (denormalize) the data instead.
+
+=== No referential integrity
+
+Although Cassandra supports features such as lightweight transactions
+and batches, Cassandra itself has no concept of referential integrity
+across tables. In a relational database, you could specify foreign keys
+in a table to reference the primary key of a record in another table.
+But Cassandra does not enforce this. It is still a common design
+requirement to store IDs related to other entities in your tables, but
+operations such as cascading deletes are not available.
+
+=== Denormalization
+
+In relational database design, you are often taught the importance of
+normalization. This is not an advantage when working with Cassandra
+because it performs best when the data model is denormalized. It is
+often the case that companies end up denormalizing data in relational
+databases as well. There are two common reasons for this. One is
+performance. Companies simply can’t get the performance they need when
+they have to do so many joins on years’ worth of data, so they
+denormalize along the lines of known queries. This ends up working, but
+goes against the grain of how relational databases are intended to be
+designed, and ultimately makes one question whether using a relational
+database is the best approach in these circumstances.
+
+A second reason that relational databases get denormalized on purpose is
+a business document structure that requires retention. That is, you have
+an enclosing table that refers to a lot of external tables whose data
+could change over time, but you need to preserve the enclosing document
+as a snapshot in history. The common example here is with invoices. You
+already have customer and product tables, and you’d think that you could
+just make an invoice that refers to those tables. But this should never
+be done in practice. Customer or price information could change, and
+then you would lose the integrity of the invoice document as it was on
+the invoice date, which could violate audits, reports, or laws, and
+cause other problems.
+
+In the relational world, denormalization violates Codd’s normal forms,
+and you try to avoid it. But in Cassandra, denormalization is, well,
+perfectly normal. It’s not required if your data model is simple. But
+don’t be afraid of it.
+
+Historically, denormalization in Cassandra has required designing and
+managing multiple tables using techniques described in this
+documentation. Beginning with the 3.0 release, Cassandra provides a
+feature known as `materialized views <materialized-views>` which allows
+you to create multiple denormalized views of data based on a base table
+design. Cassandra manages materialized views on the server, including
+the work of keeping the views in sync with the table.
+
+=== Query-first design
+
+Relational modeling, in simple terms, means that you start from the
+conceptual domain and then represent the nouns in the domain in tables.
+You then assign primary keys and foreign keys to model relationships.
+When you have a many-to-many relationship, you create the join tables
+that represent just those keys. The join tables don’t exist in the real
+world, and are a necessary side effect of the way relational models
+work. After you have all your tables laid out, you can start writing
+queries that pull together disparate data using the relationships
+defined by the keys. The queries in the relational world are very much
+secondary. It is assumed that you can always get the data you want as
+long as you have your tables modeled properly. Even if you have to use
+several complex subqueries or join statements, this is usually true.
+
+By contrast, in Cassandra you don’t start with the data model; you start
+with the query model. Instead of modeling the data first and then
+writing queries, with Cassandra you model the queries and let the data
+be organized around them. Think of the most common query paths your
+application will use, and then create the tables that you need to
+support them.
+
+Detractors have suggested that designing the queries first is overly
+constraining on application design, not to mention database modeling.
+But it is perfectly reasonable to expect that you should think hard
+about the queries in your application, just as you would, presumably,
+think hard about your relational domain. You may get it wrong, and then
+you’ll have problems in either world. Or your query needs might change
+over time, and then you’ll have to work to update your data set. But
+this is no different from defining the wrong tables, or needing
+additional tables, in an RDBMS.
+
+=== Designing for optimal storage
+
+In a relational database, it is frequently transparent to the user how
+tables are stored on disk, and it is rare to hear of recommendations
+about data modeling based on how the RDBMS might store tables on disk.
+However, that is an important consideration in Cassandra. Because
+Cassandra tables are each stored in separate files on disk, it’s
+important to keep related columns defined together in the same table.
+
+A key goal that you will see as you begin creating data models in
+Cassandra is to minimize the number of partitions that must be searched
+in order to satisfy a given query. Because the partition is a unit of
+storage that does not get divided across nodes, a query that searches a
+single partition will typically yield the best performance.
+
+=== Sorting is a design decision
+
+In an RDBMS, you can easily change the order in which records are
+returned to you by using `ORDER BY` in your query. The default sort
+order is not configurable; by default, records are returned in the order
+in which they are written. If you want to change the order, you just
+modify your query, and you can sort by any list of columns.
+
+In Cassandra, however, sorting is treated differently; it is a design
+decision. The sort order available on queries is fixed, and is
+determined entirely by the selection of clustering columns you supply in
+the `CREATE TABLE` command. The CQL `SELECT` statement does support
+`ORDER BY` semantics, but only in the order specified by the clustering
+columns.

+= Evaluating and Refining Data Models
+:stem: latexmath
+
+Once you’ve created a physical model, there are some steps you’ll want
+to take to evaluate and refine table designs to help ensure optimal
+performance.
+
+== Calculating Partition Size
+
+The first thing that you want to look for is whether your tables will
+have partitions that will be overly large, or to put it another way, too
+wide. Partition size is measured by the number of cells (values) that
+are stored in the partition. Cassandra’s hard limit is 2 billion cells
+per partition, but you’ll likely run into performance issues before
+reaching that limit.
+
+In order to calculate the size of partitions, use the following formula:
+
+[latexmath]
+++++
+\[N_v = N_r (N_c - N_{pk} - N_s) + N_s\]
+++++
+
+The number of values (or cells) in the partition (N~v~) is equal to the
+number of static columns (N~s~) plus the product of the number of rows
+(N~r~) and the number of of values per row. The number of values per row
+is defined as the number of columns (N~c~) minus the number of primary
+key columns (N~pk~) and static columns (N~s~).
+
+The number of columns tends to be relatively static, although it is
+possible to alter tables at runtime. For this reason, a primary driver
+of partition size is the number of rows in the partition. This is a key
+factor that you must consider in determining whether a partition has the
+potential to get too large. Two billion values sounds like a lot, but in
+a sensor system where tens or hundreds of values are measured every
+millisecond, the number of values starts to add up pretty fast.
+
+Let’s take a look at one of the tables to analyze the partition size.
+Because it has a wide partition design with one partition per hotel,
+look at the `available_rooms_by_hotel_date` table. The table has four
+columns total (N~c~ = 4), including three primary key columns (N~pk~ =
+3) and no static columns (N~s~ = 0). Plugging these values into the
+formula, the result is:
+
+[latexmath]
+++++
+\[N_v = N_r (4 - 3 - 0) + 0 = 1N_r\]
+++++
+
+Therefore the number of values for this table is equal to the number of
+rows. You still need to determine a number of rows. To do this, make
+estimates based on the application design. The table is storing a record
+for each room, in each of hotel, for every night. Let's assume the
+system will be used to store two years of inventory at a time, and there
+are 5,000 hotels in the system, with an average of 100 rooms in each
+hotel.
+
+Since there is a partition for each hotel, the estimated number of rows
+per partition is as follows:
+
+[latexmath]
+++++
+\[N_r = 100 rooms/hotel \times 730 days = 73,000 rows\]
+++++
+
+This relatively small number of rows per partition is not going to get
+you in too much trouble, but if you start storing more dates of
+inventory, or don’t manage the size of the inventory well using TTL, you
+could start having issues. You still might want to look at breaking up
+this large partition, which you'll see how to do shortly.
+
+When performing sizing calculations, it is tempting to assume the
+nominal or average case for variables such as the number of rows.
+Consider calculating the worst case as well, as these sorts of
+predictions have a way of coming true in successful systems.
+
+== Calculating Size on Disk
+
+In addition to calculating the size of a partition, it is also an
+excellent idea to estimate the amount of disk space that will be
+required for each table you plan to store in the cluster. In order to
+determine the size, use the following formula to determine the size S~t~
+of a partition:
+
+[latexmath]
+++++
+\[S_t = \displaystyle\sum_i sizeOf\big (c_{k_i}\big) + \displaystyle\sum_j sizeOf\big(c_{s_j}\big) + N_r\times \bigg(\displaystyle\sum_k sizeOf\big(c_{r_k}\big) + \displaystyle\sum_l sizeOf\big(c_{c_l}\big)\bigg) +\]
+++++
+
+[latexmath]
+++++
+\[N_v\times sizeOf\big(t_{avg}\big)\]
+++++
+
+This is a bit more complex than the previous formula, but let's break it
+down a bit at a time. Let’s take a look at the notation first:
+
+* In this formula, c~k~ refers to partition key columns, c~s~ to static
+columns, c~r~ to regular columns, and c~c~ to clustering columns.
+* The term t~avg~ refers to the average number of bytes of metadata
+stored per cell, such as timestamps. It is typical to use an estimate of
+8 bytes for this value.
+* You'll recognize the number of rows N~r~ and number of values N~v~
+from previous calculations.
+* The *sizeOf()* function refers to the size in bytes of the CQL data
+type of each referenced column.
+
+The first term asks you to sum the size of the partition key columns.
+For this example, the `available_rooms_by_hotel_date` table has a single
+partition key column, the `hotel_id`, which is of type `text`. Assuming
+that hotel identifiers are simple 5-character codes, you have a 5-byte
+value, so the sum of the partition key column sizes is 5 bytes.
+
+The second term asks you to sum the size of the static columns. This
+table has no static columns, so the size is 0 bytes.
+
+The third term is the most involved, and for good reason—it is
+calculating the size of the cells in the partition. Sum the size of the
+clustering columns and regular columns. The two clustering columns are
+the `date`, which is 4 bytes, and the `room_number`, which is a 2-byte
+short integer, giving a sum of 6 bytes. There is only a single regular
+column, the boolean `is_available`, which is 1 byte in size. Summing the
+regular column size (1 byte) plus the clustering column size (6 bytes)
+gives a total of 7 bytes. To finish up the term, multiply this value by
+the number of rows (73,000), giving a result of 511,000 bytes (0.51 MB).
+
+The fourth term is simply counting the metadata that that Cassandra
+stores for each cell. In the storage format used by Cassandra 3.0 and
+later, the amount of metadata for a given cell varies based on the type
+of data being stored, and whether or not custom timestamp or TTL values
+are specified for individual cells. For this table, reuse the number of
+values from the previous calculation (73,000) and multiply by 8, which
+gives 0.58 MB.
+
+Adding these terms together, you get a final estimate:
+
+[latexmath]
+++++
+\[Partition size = 16 bytes + 0 bytes + 0.51 MB + 0.58 MB = 1.1 MB\]
+++++
+
+This formula is an approximation of the actual size of a partition on
+disk, but is accurate enough to be quite useful. Remembering that the
+partition must be able to fit on a single node, it looks like the table
+design will not put a lot of strain on disk storage.
+
+Cassandra’s storage engine was re-implemented for the 3.0 release,
+including a new format for SSTable files. The previous format stored a
+separate copy of the clustering columns as part of the record for each
+cell. The newer format eliminates this duplication, which reduces the
+size of stored data and simplifies the formula for computing that size.
+
+Keep in mind also that this estimate only counts a single replica of
+data. You will need to multiply the value obtained here by the number of
+partitions and the number of replicas specified by the keyspace’s
+replication strategy in order to determine the total required total
+capacity for each table. This will come in handy when you plan your
+cluster.
+
+== Breaking Up Large Partitions
+
+As discussed previously, the goal is to design tables that can provide
+the data you need with queries that touch a single partition, or failing
+that, the minimum possible number of partitions. However, as shown in
+the examples, it is quite possible to design wide partition-style tables
+that approach Cassandra’s built-in limits. Performing sizing analysis on
+tables may reveal partitions that are potentially too large, either in
+number of values, size on disk, or both.
+
+The technique for splitting a large partition is straightforward: add an
+additional column to the partition key. In most cases, moving one of the
+existing columns into the partition key will be sufficient. Another
+option is to introduce an additional column to the table to act as a
+sharding key, but this requires additional application logic.
+
+Continuing to examine the available rooms example, if you add the `date`
+column to the partition key for the `available_rooms_by_hotel_date`
+table, each partition would then represent the availability of rooms at
+a specific hotel on a specific date. This will certainly yield
+partitions that are significantly smaller, perhaps too small, as the
+data for consecutive days will likely be on separate nodes.
+
+Another technique known as *bucketing* is often used to break the data
+into moderate-size partitions. For example, you could bucketize the
+`available_rooms_by_hotel_date` table by adding a `month` column to the
+partition key, perhaps represented as an integer. The comparision with
+the original design is shown in the figure below. While the `month`
+column is partially duplicative of the `date`, it provides a nice way of
+grouping related data in a partition that will not get too large.
+
+image::data-modeling_hotel_bucketing.png[image]
+
+If you really felt strongly about preserving a wide partition design,
+you could instead add the `room_id` to the partition key, so that each
+partition would represent the availability of the room across all dates.
+Because there was no query identified that involves searching
+availability of a specific room, the first or second design approach is
+most suitable to the application needs.

+= Defining Database Schema
+
+Once you have finished evaluating and refining the physical model,
+you’re ready to implement the schema in CQL. Here is the schema for the
+`hotel` keyspace, using CQL’s comment feature to document the query
+pattern supported by each table:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+CREATE KEYSPACE hotel WITH replication =
+  {‘class’: ‘SimpleStrategy’, ‘replication_factor’ : 3};
+
+CREATE TYPE hotel.address (
+  street text,
+  city text,
+  state_or_province text,
+  postal_code text,
+  country text );
+
+CREATE TABLE hotel.hotels_by_poi (
+  poi_name text,
+  hotel_id text,
+  name text,
+  phone text,
+  address frozen<address>,
+  PRIMARY KEY ((poi_name), hotel_id) )
+  WITH comment = ‘Q1. Find hotels near given poi’
+  AND CLUSTERING ORDER BY (hotel_id ASC) ;
+
+CREATE TABLE hotel.hotels (
+  id text PRIMARY KEY,
+  name text,
+  phone text,
+  address frozen<address>,
+  pois set<text> )
+  WITH comment = ‘Q2. Find information about a hotel’;
+
+CREATE TABLE hotel.pois_by_hotel (
+  poi_name text,
+  hotel_id text,
+  description text,
+  PRIMARY KEY ((hotel_id), poi_name) )
+  WITH comment = Q3. Find pois near a hotel’;
+
+CREATE TABLE hotel.available_rooms_by_hotel_date (
+  hotel_id text,
+  date date,
+  room_number smallint,
+  is_available boolean,
+  PRIMARY KEY ((hotel_id), date, room_number) )
+  WITH comment = ‘Q4. Find available rooms by hotel date’;
+
+CREATE TABLE hotel.amenities_by_room (
+  hotel_id text,
+  room_number smallint,
+  amenity_name text,
+  description text,
+  PRIMARY KEY ((hotel_id, room_number), amenity_name) )
+  WITH comment = ‘Q5. Find amenities for a room’;
+----
+
+Notice that the elements of the partition key are surrounded with
+parentheses, even though the partition key consists of the single column
+`poi_name`. This is a best practice that makes the selection of
+partition key more explicit to others reading your CQL.
+
+Similarly, here is the schema for the `reservation` keyspace:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+CREATE KEYSPACE reservation WITH replication = {‘class’:
+  ‘SimpleStrategy’, ‘replication_factor’ : 3};
+
+CREATE TYPE reservation.address (
+  street text,
+  city text,
+  state_or_province text,
+  postal_code text,
+  country text );
+
+CREATE TABLE reservation.reservations_by_confirmation (
+  confirm_number text,
+  hotel_id text,
+  start_date date,
+  end_date date,
+  room_number smallint,
+  guest_id uuid,
+  PRIMARY KEY (confirm_number) )
+  WITH comment = ‘Q6. Find reservations by confirmation number’;
+
+CREATE TABLE reservation.reservations_by_hotel_date (
+  hotel_id text,
+  start_date date,
+  end_date date,
+  room_number smallint,
+  confirm_number text,
+  guest_id uuid,
+  PRIMARY KEY ((hotel_id, start_date), room_number) )
+  WITH comment = ‘Q7. Find reservations by hotel and date’;
+
+CREATE TABLE reservation.reservations_by_guest (
+  guest_last_name text,
+  hotel_id text,
+  start_date date,
+  end_date date,
+  room_number smallint,
+  confirm_number text,
+  guest_id uuid,
+  PRIMARY KEY ((guest_last_name), hotel_id) )
+  WITH comment = ‘Q8. Find reservations by guest name’;
+
+CREATE TABLE reservation.guests (
+  guest_id uuid PRIMARY KEY,
+  first_name text,
+  last_name text,
+  title text,
+  emails set,
+  phone_numbers list,
+  addresses map<text,
+  frozen<address>,
+  confirm_number text )
+  WITH comment = ‘Q9. Find guest by ID’;
+----
+
+You now have a complete Cassandra schema for storing data for a hotel
+application.

+= Cassandra Data Modeling Tools
+
+There are several tools available to help you design and manage your
+Cassandra schema and build queries.
+
+* https://hackolade.com/nosqldb.html#cassandra[Hackolade] is a data
+modeling tool that supports schema design for Cassandra and many other
+NoSQL databases. Hackolade supports the unique concepts of CQL such as
+partition keys and clustering columns, as well as data types including
+collections and UDTs. It also provides the ability to create Chebotko
+diagrams.
+* http://kdm.dataview.org/[Kashlev Data Modeler] is a Cassandra data
+modeling tool that automates the data modeling methodology described in
+this documentation, including identifying access patterns, conceptual,
+logical, and physical data modeling, and schema generation. It also
+includes model patterns that you can optionally leverage as a starting
+point for your designs.
+* DataStax DevCenter is a tool for managing schema, executing queries
+and viewing results. While the tool is no longer actively supported, it
+is still popular with many developers and is available as a
+https://academy.datastax.com/downloads[free download]. DevCenter
+features syntax highlighting for CQL commands, types, and name literals.
+DevCenter provides command completion as you type out CQL commands and
+interprets the commands you type, highlighting any errors you make. The
+tool provides panes for managing multiple CQL scripts and connections to
+multiple clusters. The connections are used to run CQL commands against
+live clusters and view the results. The tool also has a query trace
+feature that is useful for gaining insight into the performance of your
+queries.
+* IDE Plugins - There are CQL plugins available for several Integrated
+Development Environments (IDEs), such as IntelliJ IDEA and Apache
+NetBeans. These plugins typically provide features such as schema
+management and query execution.
+
+Some IDEs and tools that claim to support Cassandra do not actually
+support CQL natively, but instead access Cassandra using a JDBC/ODBC
+driver and interact with Cassandra as if it were a relational database
+with SQL support. When selecting tools for working with Cassandra you’ll
+want to make sure they support CQL and reinforce Cassandra best
+practices for data modeling as presented in this documentation.

-= Frequently Asked Questions
-
-[[why-cant-list-all]]
-== Why can't I set `listen_address` to listen on 0.0.0.0 (all my addresses)?
-
-Cassandra is a gossip-based distributed system and `listen_address` is
-the address a node tells other nodes to reach it at. Telling other nodes
-"contact me on any of my addresses" is a bad idea; if different nodes in
-the cluster pick different addresses for you, Bad Things happen.
-
-If you don't want to manually specify an IP to `listen_address` for each
-node in your cluster (understandable!), leave it blank and Cassandra
-will use `InetAddress.getLocalHost()` to pick an address. Then it's up
-to you or your ops team to make things resolve correctly (`/etc/hosts/`,
-dns, etc).
-
-One exception to this process is JMX, which by default binds to 0.0.0.0
-(Java bug 6425769).
-
-See `256` and `43` for more gory details.
-
-[[what-ports]]
-== What ports does Cassandra use?
-
-By default, Cassandra uses 7000 for cluster communication (7001 if SSL
-is enabled), 9042 for native protocol clients, and 7199 for JMX. The
-internode communication and native protocol ports are configurable in
-the `cassandra-yaml`. The JMX port is configurable in `cassandra-env.sh`
-(through JVM options). All ports are TCP.
-
-[[what-happens-on-joins]]
-== What happens to existing data in my cluster when I add new nodes?
-
-When a new nodes joins a cluster, it will automatically contact the
-other nodes in the cluster and copy the right data to itself. See
-`topology-changes`.
-
-[[asynch-deletes]]
-== I delete data from Cassandra, but disk usage stays the same. What gives?
-
-Data you write to Cassandra gets persisted to SSTables. Since SSTables
-are immutable, the data can't actually be removed when you perform a
-delete, instead, a marker (also called a "tombstone") is written to
-indicate the value's new status. Never fear though, on the first
-compaction that occurs between the data and the tombstone, the data will
-be expunged completely and the corresponding disk space recovered. See
-`compaction` for more detail.
-
-[[one-entry-ring]]
-== Why does nodetool ring only show one entry, even though my nodes logged that they see each other joining the ring?
-
-This happens when you have the same token assigned to each node. Don't
-do that.
-
-Most often this bites people who deploy by installing Cassandra on a VM
-(especially when using the Debian package, which auto-starts Cassandra
-after installation, thus generating and saving a token), then cloning
-that VM to other nodes.
-
-The easiest fix is to wipe the data and commitlog directories, thus
-making sure that each node will generate a random token on the next
-restart.
-
-[[change-replication-factor]]
-== Can I change the replication factor (a a keyspace) on a live cluster?
-
-Yes, but it will require running a full repair (or cleanup) to change
-the replica count of existing data:
-
-* `Alter <alter-keyspace-statement>` the replication factor for desired
-keyspace (using cqlsh for instance).
-* If you're reducing the replication factor, run `nodetool cleanup` on
-the cluster to remove surplus replicated data. Cleanup runs on a
-per-node basis.
-* If you're increasing the replication factor, run
-`nodetool repair -full` to ensure data is replicated according to the
-new configuration. Repair runs on a per-replica set basis. This is an
-intensive process that may result in adverse cluster performance. It's
-highly recommended to do rolling repairs, as an attempt to repair the
-entire cluster at once will most likely swamp it. Note that you will
-need to run a full repair (`-full`) to make sure that already repaired
-sstables are not skipped.
-
-[[can-large-blob]]
-== Can I Store (large) BLOBs in Cassandra?
-
-Cassandra isn't optimized for large file or BLOB storage and a single
-`blob` value is always read and send to the client entirely. As such,
-storing small blobs (less than single digit MB) should not be a problem,
-but it is advised to manually split large blobs into smaller chunks.
-
-Please note in particular that by default, any value greater than 16MiB
-will be rejected by Cassandra due the `max_mutation_size`
-configuration of the `cassandra-yaml` file (which default to half of
-`commitlog_segment_size`, which itself default to 32MiB).
-
-[[nodetool-connection-refused]]
-== Nodetool says "Connection refused to host: 127.0.1.1" for any remote host. What gives?
-
-Nodetool relies on JMX, which in turn relies on RMI, which in turn sets
-up its own listeners and connectors as needed on each end of the
-exchange. Normally all of this happens behind the scenes transparently,
-but incorrect name resolution for either the host connecting, or the one
-being connected to, can result in crossed wires and confusing
-exceptions.
-
-If you are not using DNS, then make sure that your `/etc/hosts` files
-are accurate on both ends. If that fails, try setting the
-`-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=<public name>` JVM option near the bottom of
-`cassandra-env.sh` to an interface that you can reach from the remote
-machine.
-
-[[to-batch-or-not-to-batch]]
-== Will batching my operations speed up my bulk load?
-
-No. Using batches to load data will generally just add "spikes" of
-latency. Use asynchronous INSERTs instead, or use true `bulk-loading`.
-
-An exception is batching updates to a single partition, which can be a
-Good Thing (as long as the size of a single batch stay reasonable). But
-never ever blindly batch everything!
-
-[[selinux]]
-== On RHEL nodes are unable to join the ring
-
-Check if https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security-Enhanced_Linux[SELinux]
-is on; if it is, turn it off.
-
-[[how-to-unsubscribe]]
-== How do I unsubscribe from the email list?
-
-Send an email to `user-unsubscribe@cassandra.apache.org`.
-
-[[cassandra-eats-all-my-memory]]
-== Why does top report that Cassandra is using a lot more memory than the Java heap max?
-
-Cassandra uses https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory-mapped_file[Memory
-Mapped Files] (mmap) internally. That is, we use the operating system's
-virtual memory system to map a number of on-disk files into the
-Cassandra process' address space. This will "use" virtual memory; i.e.
-address space, and will be reported by tools like top accordingly, but
-on 64 bit systems virtual address space is effectively unlimited so you
-should not worry about that.
-
-What matters from the perspective of "memory use" in the sense as it is
-normally meant, is the amount of data allocated on brk() or mmap'd
-/dev/zero, which represent real memory used. The key issue is that for a
-mmap'd file, there is never a need to retain the data resident in
-physical memory. Thus, whatever you do keep resident in physical memory
-is essentially just there as a cache, in the same way as normal I/O will
-cause the kernel page cache to retain data that you read/write.
-
-The difference between normal I/O and mmap() is that in the mmap() case
-the memory is actually mapped to the process, thus affecting the virtual
-size as reported by top. The main argument for using mmap() instead of
-standard I/O is the fact that reading entails just touching memory - in
-the case of the memory being resident, you just read it - you don't even
-take a page fault (so no overhead in entering the kernel and doing a
-semi-context switch). This is covered in more detail
-http://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/wiki/ArchitectNotes[here].
-
-== What are seeds?
-
-Seeds are used during startup to discover the cluster.
-
-If you configure your nodes to refer some node as seed, nodes in your
-ring tend to send Gossip message to seeds more often (also see the
-`section on gossip <gossip>`) than to non-seeds. In other words, seeds
-are worked as hubs of Gossip network. With seeds, each node can detect
-status changes of other nodes quickly.
-
-Seeds are also referred by new nodes on bootstrap to learn other nodes
-in ring. When you add a new node to ring, you need to specify at least
-one live seed to contact. Once a node join the ring, it learns about the
-other nodes, so it doesn't need seed on subsequent boot.
-
-You can make a seed a node at any time. There is nothing special about
-seed nodes. If you list the node in seed list it is a seed
-
-Seeds do not auto bootstrap (i.e. if a node has itself in its seed list
-it will not automatically transfer data to itself) If you want a node to
-do that, bootstrap it first and then add it to seeds later. If you have
-no data (new install) you do not have to worry about bootstrap at all.
-
-Recommended usage of seeds:
-
-* pick two (or more) nodes per data center as seed nodes.
-* sync the seed list to all your nodes
-
-[[are-seeds-SPOF]]
-== Does single seed mean single point of failure?
-
-The ring can operate or boot without a seed; however, you will not be
-able to add new nodes to the cluster. It is recommended to configure
-multiple seeds in production system.
-
-[[cant-call-jmx-method]]
-== Why can't I call jmx method X on jconsole?
-
-Some of JMX operations use array argument and as jconsole doesn't
-support array argument, those operations can't be called with jconsole
-(the buttons are inactive for them). You need to write a JMX client to
-call such operations or need array-capable JMX monitoring tool.
-
-[[why-message-dropped]]
-== Why do I see "... messages dropped ..." in the logs?
-
-This is a symptom of load shedding -- Cassandra defending itself against
-more requests than it can handle.
-
-Internode messages which are received by a node, but do not get not to
-be processed within their proper timeout (see `read_request_timeout`,
-`write_request_timeout`, ... in the `cassandra-yaml`), are dropped
-rather than processed (since the as the coordinator node will no longer
-be waiting for a response).
-
-For writes, this means that the mutation was not applied to all replicas
-it was sent to. The inconsistency will be repaired by read repair, hints
-or a manual repair. The write operation may also have timeouted as a
-result.
-
-For reads, this means a read request may not have completed.
-
-Load shedding is part of the Cassandra architecture, if this is a
-persistent issue it is generally a sign of an overloaded node or
-cluster.
-
-[[oom-map-failed]]
-== Cassandra dies with `java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Map failed`
-
-If Cassandra is dying *specifically* with the "Map failed" message, it
-means the OS is denying java the ability to lock more memory. In linux,
-this typically means memlock is limited. Check
-`/proc/<pid of cassandra>/limits` to verify this and raise it (eg, via
-ulimit in bash). You may also need to increase `vm.max_map_count.` Note
-that the debian package handles this for you automatically.
-
-[[what-on-same-timestamp-update]]
-== What happens if two updates are made with the same timestamp?
-
-Updates must be commutative, since they may arrive in different orders
-on different replicas. As long as Cassandra has a deterministic way to
-pick the winner (in a timestamp tie), the one selected is as valid as
-any other, and the specifics should be treated as an implementation
-detail. That said, in the case of a timestamp tie, Cassandra follows two
-rules: first, deletes take precedence over inserts/updates. Second, if
-there are two updates, the one with the lexically larger value is
-selected.
-
-[[why-bootstrapping-stream-error]]
-== Why bootstrapping a new node fails with a "Stream failed" error?
-
-Two main possibilities:
-
-. the GC may be creating long pauses disrupting the streaming process
-. compactions happening in the background hold streaming long enough
-that the TCP connection fails
-
-In the first case, regular GC tuning advices apply. In the second case,
-you need to set TCP keepalive to a lower value (default is very high on
-Linux). Try to just run the following:
-
-....
-$ sudo /sbin/sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time=60 net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_intvl=60 net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_probes=5
-....
-
-To make those settings permanent, add them to your `/etc/sysctl.conf`
-file.
-
-Note: https://cloud.google.com/compute/[GCE]'s firewall will always
-interrupt TCP connections that are inactive for more than 10 min.
-Running the above command is highly recommended in that environment.

+= Production recommendations
+
+The `cassandra.yaml` and `jvm.options` files have a number of notes and
+recommendations for production usage.
+This page expands on some of the information in the files.
+
+== Tokens
+
+Using more than one token-range per node is referred to as virtual nodes, or vnodes.
+`vnodes` facilitate flexible expansion with more streaming peers when a new node bootstraps
+into a cluster.
+Limiting the negative impact of streaming (I/O and CPU overhead) enables incremental cluster expansion.
+However, more tokens leads to sharing data with more peers, and results in decreased availability.
+These two factors must be balanced based on a cluster's characteristic reads and writes.
+To learn more,
+https://github.com/jolynch/python_performance_toolkit/raw/master/notebooks/cassandra_availability/whitepaper/cassandra-availability-virtual.pdf[Cassandra Availability in Virtual Nodes, Joseph Lynch and Josh Snyder] is recommended reading.
+
+Change the number of tokens using the setting in the `cassandra.yaml` file:
+
+`num_tokens: 16`
+
+Here are the most common token counts with a brief explanation of when
+and why you would use each one.
+
+[width="100%",cols="13%,87%",options="header",]
+|===
+|Token Count |Description
+|1 |Maximum availablility, maximum cluster size, fewest peers, but
+inflexible expansion. Must always double size of cluster to expand and
+remain balanced.
+
+|4 |A healthy mix of elasticity and availability. Recommended for
+clusters which will eventually reach over 30 nodes. Requires adding
+approximately 20% more nodes to remain balanced. Shrinking a cluster may
+result in cluster imbalance.
+
+|8 | Using 8 vnodes distributes the workload between systems with a ~10% variance
+and has minimal impact on performance.
+
+|16 |Best for heavily elastic clusters which expand and shrink
+regularly, but may have issues availability with larger clusters. Not
+recommended for clusters over 50 nodes.
+|===
+
+In addition to setting the token count, it's extremely important that
+`allocate_tokens_for_local_replication_factor` in `cassandra.yaml` is set to an
+appropriate number of replicates, to ensure even token allocation.
+
+== Read ahead
+
+Read ahead is an operating system feature that attempts to keep as much
+data as possible loaded in the page cache.
+Spinning disks can have long seek times causing high latency, so additional
+throughput on reads using page cache can improve performance.
+By leveraging read ahead, the OS can pull additional data into memory without
+the cost of additional seeks.
+This method works well when the available RAM is greater than the size of the
+hot dataset, but can be problematic when the reverse is true (dataset > RAM).
+The larger the hot dataset, the less read ahead is useful.
+
+Read ahead is definitely not useful in the following cases:
+
+* Small partitions, such as tables with a single partition key
+* Solid state drives (SSDs)
+
+
+Read ahead can actually increase disk usage, and in some cases result in as much
+as a 5x latency and throughput performance penalty.
+Read-heavy, key/value tables with small (under 1KB) rows are especially prone
+to this problem.
+
+The recommended read ahead settings are:
+
+[width="59%",cols="40%,60%",options="header",]
+|===
+|Hardware |Initial Recommendation
+|Spinning Disks |64KB
+|SSD |4KB
+|===
+
+Read ahead can be adjusted on Linux systems using the `blockdev` tool.
+
+For example, set the read ahead of the disk `/dev/sda1` to 4KB:
+
+[source, shell]
+----
+$ blockdev --setra 8 /dev/sda1
+----
+[NOTE]
+====
+The `blockdev` setting sets the number of 512 byte sectors to read ahead.
+The argument of 8 above is equivalent to 4KB, or 8 * 512 bytes.
+====
+
+All systems are different, so use these recommendations as a starting point and
+tune, based on your SLA and throughput requirements.
+To understand how read ahead impacts disk resource usage, we recommend carefully
+reading through the xref:troubleshooting/use_tools.adoc[Diving Deep, using external tools]
+section.
+
+== Compression
+
+Compressed data is stored by compressing fixed-size byte buffers and writing the
+data to disk.
+The buffer size is determined by the `chunk_length_in_kb` element in the compression
+map of a table's schema settings for `WITH COMPRESSION`.
+The default setting is 16KB starting with Cassandra {40_version}.
+
+Since the entire compressed buffer must be read off-disk, using a compression
+chunk length that is too large can lead to significant overhead when reading small records.
+Combined with the default read ahead setting, the result can be massive
+read amplification for certain workloads. Therefore, picking an appropriate
+value for this setting is important.
+
+LZ4Compressor is the default and recommended compression algorithm.
+If you need additional information on compression, read
+https://thelastpickle.com/blog/2018/08/08/compression_performance.html[The Last Pickle blogpost on compression performance].
+
+== Compaction
+
+There are different xref:compaction/index.adoc[compaction] strategies available
+for different workloads.
+We recommend reading about the different strategies to understand which is the
+best for your environment.
+Different tables may, and frequently do use different compaction strategies in
+the same cluster.
+
+== Encryption
+
+It is significantly better to set up peer-to-peer encryption and client server
+encryption when setting up your production cluster.
+Setting it up after the cluster is serving production traffic is challenging
+to do correctly.
+If you ever plan to use network encryption of any type, we recommend setting it
+up when initially configuring your cluster.
+Changing these configurations later is not impossible, but mistakes can
+result in downtime or data loss.
+
+== Ensure keyspaces are created with NetworkTopologyStrategy
+
+Production clusters should never use `SimpleStrategy`.
+Production keyspaces should use the `NetworkTopologyStrategy` (NTS).
+For example:
+
+[source, cql]
+----
+CREATE KEYSPACE mykeyspace WITH replication =     {
+   'class': 'NetworkTopologyStrategy',
+   'datacenter1': 3
+};
+----
+
+Cassandra clusters initialized with `NetworkTopologyStrategy` can take advantage
+of the ability to configure multiple racks and data centers.
+
+== Configure racks and snitch
+
+**Correctly configuring or changing racks after a cluster has been provisioned is an unsupported process**.
+Migrating from a single rack to multiple racks is also unsupported and can
+result in data loss.
+Using `GossipingPropertyFileSnitch` is the most flexible solution for
+on-premise or mixed cloud environments.
+`Ec2Snitch` is reliable for AWS EC2 only environments.

+= Inserting and querying
+
+The API for Cassandra is xref:cql/ddl.adoc[`CQL`, the Cassandra Query Language]. To
+use CQL, you will need to connect to the cluster, using either:
+
+* `cqlsh`, a shell for CQL
+* a client driver for Cassandra
+* for the adventurous, check out https://zeppelin.apache.org/docs/0.7.0/interpreter/cassandra.html[Apache Zeppelin], a notebook-style tool
+
+== CQLSH
+
+`cqlsh` is a command-line shell for interacting with Cassandra using
+CQL. It is shipped with every Cassandra package, and can be found in the
+`bin` directory alongside the `cassandra` executable. It connects to the
+single node specified on the command line. For example:
+
+[source, shell]
+----
+include::example$BASH/cqlsh_localhost.sh[]
+----
+[source, cql]
+----
+include::example$RESULTS/cqlsh_localhost.result[]
+----
+If the command is used without specifying a node, `localhost` is the default. See the xref:tools/cqlsh.adoc[`cqlsh` section] for full documentation.
+
+== Client drivers
+
+A lot of xref:getting-started/drivers.adoc[client drivers] are provided by the Community and a list of
+known drivers is provided. You should refer to the documentation of each driver
+for more information.

+(userid, item_count, last_update_timestamp)
+VALUES (1234, 5, to_timestamp(toDate(now))));
+----
+
+You should now have a _cqlshrc_ file and _<currentdir>/scripts/data.cql_ file.
+
+*STEP 4: RUN CQLSH TO INTERACT*
+
+Cassandra is a distributed database that can read and write data across multiple
+nodes with  peer-to-peer replication. The Cassandra Query Language (CQL) is
+similar to SQL but suited for the JOINless structure of Cassandra. The CQL
+shell, or `cqlsh`, is one tool to use in interacting with the database.
+
+[source, plaintext]
+----
+docker run --rm -it -v /<currentdir>/scripts:/scripts  \
+-v /<currentdir/cqlshrc:/.cassandra/cqlshrc  \
+--env CQLSH_HOST=host.docker.internal --env CQLSH_PORT=9042  nuvo/docker-cqlsh
+----
+
+For this quickstart, this cqlsh docker image also loads some data automatically,
+so you can start running queries.
+
+*STEP 5: READ SOME DATA*
+
+[source, plaintext]
+----
+SELECT * FROM store.shopping_cart;
+----
+
+*STEP 6: WRITE SOME MORE DATA*
+
+[source, plaintext]
+----
+INSERT (userid, item_count) VALUES (4567, 20) INTO store.shopping_cart;
+----
+
+*STEP 7: TERMINATE CASSANDRA*
+
+[source, plaintext]
+----
+docker rm cassandra

-= Installing Cassandra
-:tabs:
-
-These are the instructions for deploying the supported releases of
-Apache Cassandra on Linux servers.
-
-Cassandra runs on a wide array of Linux distributions including (but not
-limited to):
-
-* Ubuntu, most notably LTS releases 16.04 to 18.04
-* CentOS & RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) including 6.6 to 7.7
-* Amazon Linux AMIs including 2016.09 through to Linux 2
-* Debian versions 8 & 9
-* SUSE Enterprise Linux 12
-
-This is not an exhaustive list of operating system platforms, nor is it
-prescriptive. However, users will be well-advised to conduct exhaustive
-tests of their own particularly for less-popular distributions of Linux.
-Deploying on older versions is not recommended unless you have previous
-experience with the older distribution in a production environment.
-
-== Prerequisites
-
-* Install the latest version of Java 8 or Java 11, either the
-http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html[Oracle
-Java Standard Edition 8] / http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html[Oracle Java Standard Edition 11 (Long Term Support)]
-or http://openjdk.java.net/[OpenJDK 8] / http://openjdk.java.net/[OpenJDK 11]. To
-verify that you have the correct version of java installed, type
-`java -version`.
-* *NOTE*: Experimental support for Java 11 was added in Cassandra {40_version}
-(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9608[CASSANDRA-9608]).
-Full support is effective Cassandra 4.0.2 version (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-16894[CASSANDRA-16894])
-For more information, see
-https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/NEWS.txt[NEWS.txt].
-* For using cqlsh, the latest version of
-Python 3.6+ or Python 2.7 (support deprecated). To verify
-that you have the correct version of Python installed, type
-`python --version`.
-
-== Choosing an installation method
-
-There are three methods of installing Cassandra that are common:
-
-* Docker image
-* Tarball binary file
-* Package installation (RPM, YUM)
-
-If you are a current Docker user, installing a Docker image is simple. 
-You'll need to install Docker Desktop for Mac, Docker Desktop for Windows,
-or have `docker` installed on Linux. 
-Pull the appropriate image and then start Cassandra with a run command. 
-
-For most users, installing the binary tarball is also a simple choice.
-The tarball unpacks all its contents into a single location with
-binaries and configuration files located in their own subdirectories.
-The most obvious attribute of the tarball installation is it does not
-require `root` permissions and can be installed on any Linux
-distribution.
-
-Packaged installations require `root` permissions, and are most appropriate for
-production installs. 
-Install the RPM build on CentOS and RHEL-based distributions if you want to 
-install Cassandra using YUM. 
-Install the Debian build on Ubuntu and other Debian-based
-distributions if you want to install Cassandra using APT. 
-Note that both the YUM and APT methods required `root` permissions and 
-will install the binaries and configuration files as the `cassandra` OS user.
-
-== Installing the docker image
-
-[arabic, start=1]
-. Pull the docker image. For the latest image, use:
-
-[source, shell]
-----
-include::example$BASH/docker_pull.sh[]
-----
-
-This `docker pull` command will get the latest version of the 'Docker Official'
-Apache Cassandra image available from the https://hub.docker.com/_/cassandra[Dockerhub].
-
-[arabic, start=2]
-. Start Cassandra with a `docker run` command:
-
-[source, shell]
-----
-include::example$BASH/docker_run.sh[]
-----
-
-The `--name` option will be the name of the Cassandra cluster created.
-
-[arabic, start=3]
-. Start the CQL shell, `cqlsh` to interact with the Cassandra node created:
-
-[source, shell]
-----
-include::example$BASH/docker_cqlsh.sh[]
-----
-== Installing the binary tarball
-
-include::partial$java_version.adoc[]
-
-[arabic, start=2]
-. Download the binary tarball from one of the mirrors on the
-{cass_url}download/[Apache Cassandra Download] site.
-For example, to download Cassandra {40_version}:
-
-[source,shell]
-----
-include::example$BASH/curl_install.sh[]
-----
-
-NOTE: The mirrors only host the latest versions of each major supported
-release. To download an earlier version of Cassandra, visit the
-http://archive.apache.org/dist/cassandra/[Apache Archives].
-
-[arabic, start=3]
-. OPTIONAL: Verify the integrity of the downloaded tarball using one of
-the methods https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi#verify[here]. For
-example, to verify the hash of the downloaded file using GPG:
-

-= Support for Java 11
-
-In the new Java release cadence a new Java version is made available
-every six months. The more frequent release cycle is favored as it
-brings new Java features to the developers as and when they are
-developed without the wait that the earlier 3 year release model
-incurred. Not every Java version is a Long Term Support (LTS) version.
-After Java 8 the next LTS version is Java 11. Java 9, 10, 12 and 13 are
-all non-LTS versions.
-
-One of the objectives of the Apache Cassandra 4.0 version is to support
-the recent LTS Java versions 8 and 11
-(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9608[CASSANDRA-9608]).
-Java 8 and Java 11 may be used to build and run Apache Cassandra 4.0. Effective Cassandra
-4.0.2 there is full Java 11 support, it is not experimental anymore.
-
-== Support Matrix
-
-The support matrix for the Java versions for compiling and running
-Apache Cassandra 4.0 is detailed in Table 1. The build version is along
-the vertical axis and the run version is along the horizontal axis.
-
-Table 1 : Support Matrix for Java
-
-[width="68%",cols="34%,30%,36%",]
-|===
-| |Java 8 (Run) |Java 11 (Run)
-|Java 8 (Build) |Supported |Supported
-|Java 11(Build) |Not Supported |Supported
-|===
-
-Essentially Apache 4.0 source code built with Java 11 cannot be run with
-Java 8. Next, we shall discuss using each of Java 8 and 11 to build and
-run Apache Cassandra 4.0.
-
-== Using Java 8 to Build
-
-To start with, install Java 8. As an example, for installing Java 8 on
-RedHat Linux the command is as follows:
-
-....
-$ sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel
-....
-
-Set `JAVA_HOME` and `JRE_HOME` environment variables in the shell bash
-script. First, open the bash script:
-
-....
-$ sudo vi ~/.bashrc
-....
-
-Set the environment variables including the `PATH`.
-
-....
-$ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk
-$ export JRE_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk/jre
-$ export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$JRE_HOME/bin
-....
-
-Download and install Apache Cassandra 4.0 source code from the Git along
-with the dependencies.
-
-....
-$ git clone https://github.com/apache/cassandra.git
-....
-
-If Cassandra is already running stop Cassandra with the following
-command.
-
-....
-[ec2-user@ip-172-30-3-146 bin]$ ./nodetool stopdaemon
-....
-
-Build the source code from the `cassandra` directory, which has the
-`build.xml` build script. The Apache Ant uses the Java version set in
-the `JAVA_HOME` environment variable.
-
-....
-$ cd ~/cassandra
-$ ant
-....
-
-Apache Cassandra 4.0 gets built with Java 8. Set the environment
-variable for `CASSANDRA_HOME` in the bash script. Also add the
-`CASSANDRA_HOME/bin` to the `PATH` variable.
-
-....
-$ export CASSANDRA_HOME=~/cassandra
-$ export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$JRE_HOME/bin:$CASSANDRA_HOME/bin
-....
-
-To run Apache Cassandra 4.0 with either of Java 8 or Java 11 run the
-Cassandra application in the `CASSANDRA_HOME/bin` directory, which is in
-the `PATH` env variable.
-
-....
-$ cassandra
-....
-
-The Java version used to run Cassandra gets output as Cassandra is
-getting started. As an example if Java 11 is used, the run output should
-include similar to the following output snippet:
-
-....
-INFO  [main] 2019-07-31 21:18:16,862 CassandraDaemon.java:480 - Hostname: ip-172-30-3-

-jump to NORMAL
-....
-
-== Using Java 11 to Build
-
-If Java 11 is used to build Apache Cassandra 4.0, first Java 11 must be
-installed and the environment variables set. As an example, to download
-and install Java 11 on RedHat Linux run the following command.
-
-....
-$ yum install java-11-openjdk-devel
-....
-
-Set the environment variables in the bash script for Java 11. The first
-command is to open the bash script.
-
-....
-$ sudo vi ~/.bashrc 
-$ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk
-$ export JRE_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk/jre
-$ export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$JRE_HOME/bin
-....
-
-To build source code with Java 11 one of the following two options must
-be used.
-
-____
-[arabic]
-. {blank}
-+
-Include Apache Ant command-line option `-Duse.jdk=11` as follows:::
-....
-$ ant -Duse.jdk=11
-....
-. {blank}
-+
-Set environment variable `CASSANDRA_USE_JDK11` to `true`:::
-....
-$ export CASSANDRA_USE_JDK11=true
-....
-____
-
-As an example, set the environment variable `CASSANDRA_USE_JDK11` to
-`true`.
-

-= Production recommendations
-
-The `cassandra.yaml` and `jvm.options` files have a number of notes and
-recommendations for production usage.
-This page expands on some of the information in the files.
-
-== Tokens
-
-Using more than one token-range per node is referred to as virtual nodes, or vnodes.
-`vnodes` facilitate flexible expansion with more streaming peers when a new node bootstraps
-into a cluster.
-Limiting the negative impact of streaming (I/O and CPU overhead) enables incremental cluster expansion.
-However, more tokens leads to sharing data with more peers, and results in decreased availability.
-These two factors must be balanced based on a cluster's characteristic reads and writes.
-To learn more,
-https://github.com/jolynch/python_performance_toolkit/raw/master/notebooks/cassandra_availability/whitepaper/cassandra-availability-virtual.pdf[Cassandra Availability in Virtual Nodes, Joseph Lynch and Josh Snyder] is recommended reading.
-
-Change the number of tokens using the setting in the `cassandra.yaml` file:
-
-`num_tokens: 16`
-
-Here are the most common token counts with a brief explanation of when
-and why you would use each one.
-
-[width="100%",cols="13%,87%",options="header",]
-|===
-|Token Count |Description
-|1 |Maximum availablility, maximum cluster size, fewest peers, but
-inflexible expansion. Must always double size of cluster to expand and
-remain balanced.
-
-|4 |A healthy mix of elasticity and availability. Recommended for
-clusters which will eventually reach over 30 nodes. Requires adding
-approximately 20% more nodes to remain balanced. Shrinking a cluster may
-result in cluster imbalance.
-
-|8 | Using 8 vnodes distributes the workload between systems with a ~10% variance
-and has minimal impact on performance.
-
-|16 |Best for heavily elastic clusters which expand and shrink
-regularly, but may have issues availability with larger clusters. Not
-recommended for clusters over 50 nodes.
-|===
-
-In addition to setting the token count, it's extremely important that
-`allocate_tokens_for_local_replication_factor` in `cassandra.yaml` is set to an
-appropriate number of replicates, to ensure even token allocation.
-
-== Read ahead
-
-Read ahead is an operating system feature that attempts to keep as much
-data as possible loaded in the page cache.
-Spinning disks can have long seek times causing high latency, so additional
-throughput on reads using page cache can improve performance.
-By leveraging read ahead, the OS can pull additional data into memory without
-the cost of additional seeks.
-This method works well when the available RAM is greater than the size of the
-hot dataset, but can be problematic when the reverse is true (dataset > RAM).
-The larger the hot dataset, the less read ahead is useful.
-
-Read ahead is definitely not useful in the following cases:
-
-* Small partitions, such as tables with a single partition key
-* Solid state drives (SSDs)
-
-
-Read ahead can actually increase disk usage, and in some cases result in as much
-as a 5x latency and throughput performance penalty.
-Read-heavy, key/value tables with small (under 1KB) rows are especially prone
-to this problem.
-
-The recommended read ahead settings are:
-
-[width="59%",cols="40%,60%",options="header",]
-|===
-|Hardware |Initial Recommendation
-|Spinning Disks |64KB
-|SSD |4KB
-|===
-
-Read ahead can be adjusted on Linux systems using the `blockdev` tool.
-
-For example, set the read ahead of the disk `/dev/sda1\` to 4KB:
-
-[source, shell]
-----
-$ blockdev --setra 8 /dev/sda1
-----
-[NOTE]
-====
-The `blockdev` setting sets the number of 512 byte sectors to read ahead.
-The argument of 8 above is equivalent to 4KB, or 8 * 512 bytes.
-====
-
-All systems are different, so use these recommendations as a starting point and
-tune, based on your SLA and throughput requirements.
-To understand how read ahead impacts disk resource usage, we recommend carefully
-reading through the xref:troubleshooting/use_tools.adoc[Diving Deep, using external tools]
-section.
-
-== Compression
-
-Compressed data is stored by compressing fixed size byte buffers and writing the
-data to disk.
-The buffer size is determined by the `chunk_length_in_kb` element in the compression
-map of a table's schema settings for `WITH COMPRESSION`.
-The default setting is 16KB starting with Cassandra {40_version}.
-
-Since the entire compressed buffer must be read off-disk, using a compression
-chunk length that is too large can lead to significant overhead when reading small records.
-Combined with the default read ahead setting, the result can be massive
-read amplification for certain workloads. Therefore, picking an appropriate
-value for this setting is important.
-
-LZ4Compressor is the default and recommended compression algorithm.
-If you need additional information on compression, read
-https://thelastpickle.com/blog/2018/08/08/compression_performance.html[The Last Pickle blogpost on compression performance].
-
-== Compaction
-
-There are different xref:compaction/index.adoc[compaction] strategies available
-for different workloads.
-We recommend reading about the different strategies to understand which is the
-best for your environment.
-Different tables may, and frequently do use different compaction strategies in
-the same cluster.
-
-== Encryption
-
-It is significantly better to set up peer-to-peer encryption and client server
-encryption when setting up your production cluster.
-Setting it up after the cluster is serving production traffic is challenging
-to do correctly.
-If you ever plan to use network encryption of any type, we recommend setting it
-up when initially configuring your cluster.
-Changing these configurations later is not impossible, but mistakes can
-result in downtime or data loss.
-
-== Ensure keyspaces are created with NetworkTopologyStrategy
-
-Production clusters should never use `SimpleStrategy`.
-Production keyspaces should use the `NetworkTopologyStrategy` (NTS).
-For example:
-
-[source, cql]
-----
-CREATE KEYSPACE mykeyspace WITH replication =     {
-   'class': 'NetworkTopologyStrategy',
-   'datacenter1': 3
-};
-----
-
-Cassandra clusters initialized with `NetworkTopologyStrategy` can take advantage
-of the ability to configure multiple racks and data centers.
-
-== Configure racks and snitch
-
-**Correctly configuring or changing racks after a cluster has been provisioned is an unsupported process**.
-Migrating from a single rack to multiple racks is also unsupported and can
-result in data loss.
-Using `GossipingPropertyFileSnitch` is the most flexible solution for on
-premise or mixed cloud environments.
-`Ec2Snitch` is reliable for AWS EC2 only environments.

-= Inserting and querying
-
-The API for Cassandra is xref:cql/ddl.adoc[`CQL`, the Cassandra Query Language]. To
-use CQL, you will need to connect to the cluster, using either:
-
-* `cqlsh`, a shell for CQL
-* a client driver for Cassandra
-* for the adventurous, check out https://zeppelin.apache.org/docs/0.7.0/interpreter/cassandra.html[Apache Zeppelin], a notebook-style tool
-
-== CQLSH
-
-`cqlsh` is a command-line shell for interacting with Cassandra using
-CQL. It is shipped with every Cassandra package, and can be found in the
-`bin` directory alongside the `cassandra` executable. It connects to the
-single node specified on the command line. For example:
-
-[source, shell]
-----
-include::example$BASH/cqlsh_localhost.sh[]
-----
-[source, cql]
-----
-include::example$RESULTS/cqlsh_localhost.result[]
-----
-If the command is used without specifying a node, `localhost` is the default. See the xref:tools/cqlsh.adoc[`cqlsh` section] for full documentation.
-
-== Client drivers
-
-A lot of xref:getting_started/drivers.adoc[client drivers] are provided by the Community and a list of
-known drivers is provided. You should refer to the documentation of each driver
-for more information.

-= Apache Cassandra Quickstart
-:tabs:
-
-_Interested in getting started with Cassandra? Follow these instructions._
-
-*STEP 1: GET CASSANDRA USING DOCKER*
-
-You'll need to have Docker Desktop for Mac, Docker Desktop for Windows, or
-similar software installed on your computer.
-
-[source, plaintext]
-----
-docker pull cassandra:latest
-----
-
-Apache Cassandra is also available as a https://cassandra.apache.org/download/[tarball or package download].
-
-*STEP 2: START CASSANDRA*
-
-[source, plaintext]
-----
-docker run --name cassandra cassandra
-----
-
-*STEP 3: CREATE FILES*
-
-In the directory where you plan to run the next step, create these two files
-so that some data can be automatically inserted in the next step.
-
-A _cqlshrc_ file will log into the Cassandra database with the default superuser:
-
-[source, plaintext]
-----
-[authentication]
-	username = cassandra
-	password = cassandra
-----
-
-Create a _scripts_ directory and change to that directory.
-The following _data.cql_ file will create a keyspace, the layer at which Cassandra
-replicates its data, a table to hold the data, and insert some data:
-
-[source, plaintext]
-----
-# Create a keyspace
-CREATE KEYSPACE IF NOT EXISTS store WITH REPLICATION = { 'class' : 'SimpleStrategy', 'replication_factor' : '1' };
-
-# Create a table
-CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS store.shopping_cart  (
-	userid text PRIMARY KEY,
-	item_count int,
-	last_update_timestamp timestamp
-);
-
-# Insert some data
-INSERT INTO store.shopping_cart
-(userid, item_count, last_update_timestamp)
-VALUES ('9876', 2, toTimeStamp(toDate(now))));
-INSERT INTO store.shopping_cart
-(userid, item_count, last_update_timestamp)
-VALUES (1234, 5, toTimeStamp(toDate(now))));
-----
-
-You should now have a _cqlshrc_ file and _<currentdir>/scripts/data.cql_ file.
-
-*STEP 4: RUN CQLSH TO INTERACT*
-
-Cassandra is a distributed database that can read and write data across multiple
-nodes with  peer-to-peer replication. The Cassandra Query Language (CQL) is
-similar to SQL but suited for the JOINless structure of Cassandra. The CQL
-shell, or `cqlsh`, is one tool to use in interacting with the database.
-
-[source, plaintext]
-----
-docker run --rm -it -v /<currentdir>/scripts:/scripts  \
--v /<currentdir/cqlshrc:/.cassandra/cqlshrc  \
---env CQLSH_HOST=host.docker.internal --env CQLSH_PORT=9042  nuvo/docker-cqlsh
-----
-
-For this quickstart, this cqlsh docker image also loads some data automatically,
-so you can start running queries.
-
-*STEP 5: READ SOME DATA*
-
-[source, plaintext]
-----
-SELECT * FROM store.shopping_cart;
-----
-
-*STEP 6: WRITE SOME MORE DATA*

+= Installing Cassandra
+:tabs:
+
+These are the instructions for deploying the supported releases of
+Apache Cassandra on Linux servers.
+
+Cassandra runs on a wide array of Linux distributions including (but not
+limited to):
+
+* Ubuntu, most notably LTS releases 16.04 to 18.04
+* CentOS & RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) including 6.6 to 7.7
+* Amazon Linux AMIs including 2016.09 through to Linux 2
+* Debian versions 8 & 9
+* SUSE Enterprise Linux 12
+
+This is not an exhaustive list of operating system platforms, nor is it
+prescriptive. However, users will be well-advised to conduct exhaustive
+tests of their own particularly for less-popular distributions of Linux.
+Deploying on older versions is not recommended unless you have previous
+experience with the older distribution in a production environment.
+
+== Prerequisites
+
+* Install the latest version of Java 8 or Java 11, either the
+http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html[Oracle
+Java Standard Edition 8] / http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html[Oracle Java Standard Edition 11 (Long Term Support)]
+or http://openjdk.java.net/[OpenJDK 8] / http://openjdk.java.net/[OpenJDK 11]. To
+verify that you have the correct version of java installed, type
+`java -version`.
+* *NOTE*: Experimental support for Java 11 was added in Cassandra {40_version}
+(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9608[CASSANDRA-9608]).
+Full support is effective Cassandra 4.0.2 version (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-16894[CASSANDRA-16894])
+For more information, see
+https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/NEWS.txt[NEWS.txt].
+* For using cqlsh, the latest version of
+Python 3.6+ or Python 2.7 (support deprecated). To verify
+that you have the correct version of Python installed, type
+`python --version`.
+
+== Choosing an installation method
+
+There are three methods of installing Cassandra that are common:
+
+* Docker image
+* Tarball binary file
+* Package installation (RPM, YUM)
+
+If you are a current Docker user, installing a Docker image is simple. 
+You'll need to install Docker Desktop for Mac, Docker Desktop for Windows,
+or have `docker` installed on Linux. 
+Pull the appropriate image and then start Cassandra with a run command. 
+
+For most users, installing the binary tarball is also a simple choice.
+The tarball unpacks all its contents into a single location with
+binaries and configuration files located in their own subdirectories.
+The most obvious attribute of the tarball installation is it does not
+require `root` permissions and can be installed on any Linux
+distribution.
+
+Packaged installations require `root` permissions, and are most appropriate for
+production installs. 
+Install the RPM build on CentOS and RHEL-based distributions if you want to 
+install Cassandra using YUM. 
+Install the Debian build on Ubuntu and other Debian-based
+distributions if you want to install Cassandra using APT. 
+Note that both the YUM and APT methods required `root` permissions and 
+will install the binaries and configuration files as the `cassandra` OS user.
+
+== Installing the docker image
+
+[arabic, start=1]
+. Pull the docker image. For the latest image, use:
+
+[source, shell]
+----
+include::example$BASH/docker_pull.sh[]
+----
+
+This `docker pull` command will get the latest version of the 'Docker Official'
+Apache Cassandra image available from the https://hub.docker.com/_/cassandra[Dockerhub].
+
+[arabic, start=2]
+. Start Cassandra with a `docker run` command:
+
+[source, shell]
+----
+include::example$BASH/docker_run.sh[]
+----
+
+The `--name` option will be the name of the Cassandra cluster created.
+
+[arabic, start=3]
+. Start the CQL shell, `cqlsh` to interact with the Cassandra node created:
+
+[source, shell]
+----
+include::example$BASH/docker_cqlsh.sh[]
+----
+== Installing the binary tarball
+
+include::partial$java_version.adoc[]
+
+[arabic, start=2]
+. Download the binary tarball from one of the mirrors on the
+{cass_url}download/[Apache Cassandra Download] site.
+For example, to download Cassandra {40_version}:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+include::example$BASH/curl_install.sh[]
+----
+
+NOTE: The mirrors only host the latest versions of each major supported
+release. To download an earlier version of Cassandra, visit the
+http://archive.apache.org/dist/cassandra/[Apache Archives].
+
+[arabic, start=3]
+. OPTIONAL: Verify the integrity of the downloaded tarball using one of
+the methods https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi#verify[here]. For
+example, to verify the hash of the downloaded file using GPG:

+[source,shell]
+----
+include::example$BASH/tarball.sh[]
+----
+
+The files will be extracted to the `apache-cassandra-4.0.0/` directory.
+This is the tarball installation location.
+
+[arabic, start=5]
+. Located in the tarball installation location are the directories for
+the scripts, binaries, utilities, configuration, data and log files:

+= logback.xml file
+
+The `logback.xml` configuration file can optionally set logging levels
+for the logs written to `system.log` and `debug.log`. The logging levels
+can also be set using `nodetool setlogginglevels`.
+
+== Options
+
+=== `appender name="<appender_choice>"...</appender>` 
+
+Specify log type and settings. Possible appender names are: `SYSTEMLOG`,
+`DEBUGLOG`, `ASYNCDEBUGLOG`, and `STDOUT`. `SYSTEMLOG` ensures that WARN
+and ERROR message are written synchronously to the specified file.
+`DEBUGLOG` and `ASYNCDEBUGLOG` ensure that DEBUG messages are written
+either synchronously or asynchronously, respectively, to the specified
+file. `STDOUT` writes all messages to the console in a human-readable
+format.
+
+*Example:* <appender name="SYSTEMLOG"
+class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
+
+=== `<file> <filename> </file>` 
+
+Specify the filename for a log.
+
+*Example:* <file>$\{cassandra.logdir}/system.log</file>
+
+=== `<level> <log_level> </level>`
+
+Specify the level for a log. Part of the filter. Levels are: `ALL`,
+`TRACE`, `DEBUG`, `INFO`, `WARN`, `ERROR`, `OFF`. `TRACE` creates the
+most verbose log, `ERROR` the least.
+
+[NOTE]
+.Note
+====
+Note: Increasing logging levels can generate heavy logging output on
+a moderately trafficked cluster. You can use the
+`nodetool getlogginglevels` command to see the current logging
+configuration.
+====
+
+*Default:* INFO
+
+*Example:* <level>INFO</level>
+
+=== `<rollingPolicy class="<rolling_policy_choice>" <fileNamePattern><pattern_info></fileNamePattern> ... </rollingPolicy>`
+
+Specify the policy for rolling logs over to an archive.
+
+*Example:* <rollingPolicy
+class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.SizeAndTimeBasedRollingPolicy">
+
+=== `<fileNamePattern> <pattern_info> </fileNamePattern>`
+
+Specify the pattern information for rolling over the log to archive.
+Part of the rolling policy.
+
+*Example:*
+<fileNamePattern>$\{cassandra.logdir}/system.log.%d\{yyyy-MM-dd}.%i.zip</fileNamePattern>
+
+=== `<maxFileSize> <size> </maxFileSize>`
+
+Specify the maximum file size to trigger rolling a log. Part of the
+rolling policy.
+
+*Example:* <maxFileSize>50MB</maxFileSize>
+
+=== `<maxHistory> <number_of_days> </maxHistory>`
+
+Specify the maximum history in days to trigger rolling a log. Part of
+the rolling policy.
+
+*Example:* <maxHistory>7</maxHistory>
+
+=== `<encoder> <pattern>...</pattern> </encoder>`
+
+Specify the format of the message. Part of the rolling policy.
+
+*Example:* <maxHistory>7</maxHistory> *Example:* <encoder>
+<pattern>%-5level [%thread] %date\{ISO8601} %F:%L - %msg%n</pattern>
+</encoder>
+
+=== Logging to Cassandra virtual table
+
+It is possible to configure logback.xml in such a way that logs would appear in `system_views.system_log` table.
+This is achieved by appender implemented in class `VirtualTableAppender` which is called `CQLLOG` in the
+default configration. When the appender is commented out, no system logs are written to the virtual table.
+
+CQLLOG appender is special as the underlying structure it saves log messages into can not grow without any bound
+as a node would run out of memory. For this reason, `system_log` table is limited on its size.
+By default, it can hold at most 50 000 log messages, it can never hold more than 100 000 log messages.
+
+To specify how many rows you want that virtual table to hold at most, there is
+a system property called `cassandra.virtual.logs.max.rows` which takes an integer as value.
+
+You can execute CQL `truncate` query for `system_views.system_log` if you want to wipe out all the logs in virtual table
+to e.g. save some memory.
+
+It is recommended to set filter to at least `WARN` level so this table holds only important logging messages as
+each message will occupy memory.
+
+The appender to virtual table is commented out by default so logging to virtual table is not active.

+= Audit Logging
+
+Audit Logging is a new feature in Apache Cassandra 4.0 (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12151[CASSANDRA-12151]).
+This new feature is safe for production use, with configurable limits to heap memory and disk space to prevent out-of-memory errors.
+All database activity is logged per-node as file-based records to a specified local filesystem directory. 
+The audit log files are rolled periodically based on a configurable value. 
+
+Some of the features of audit logging are:
+
+* No additional database capacity is needed to store audit logs.
+* No query tool is required to store the audit logs.
+* Latency of database operations is not affected, so there is no performance impact.
+* Heap memory usage is bounded by a weighted queue, with configurable maximum weight sitting in front of logging thread.
+* Disk utilization is bounded by a configurable size, deleting old log segments once the limit is reached.
+* Can be enabled or disabled at startup time using `cassandra.yaml` or at runtime using the JMX tool, ``nodetool``.
+* Can configure the settings in either the `cassandra.yaml` file or by using ``nodetool``.
+
+Audit logging includes all CQL requests, both successful and failed. 
+It also captures all successful and failed authentication and authorization events, such as login attempts. 
+The difference between Full Query Logging (FQL) and audit logging is that FQL captures only successful CQL requests, which allow replay or comparison of logs.
+Audit logs are useful for compliance and debugging, while FQL is useful for debugging, performance benchmarking, testing and auditing CQL queries.
+
+== Audit information logged
+
+The audit log contains:
+
+* all events in the configured keyspaces to include
+* all events in the configured categories to include
+* all events executed by the configured users to include
+
+The audit log does not contain:
+
+* configuration changes made in `cassandra.yaml` file
+* `nodetool` commands
+* Passwords mentioned as part of DCL statements: Passwords will be obfuscated as \*\*\*\*\*\*\*.
+ ** Statements that fail to parse will have everything after the appearance of the word password obfuscated as \*\*\*\*\*\*\*.
+ ** Statements with a mistyped word 'password' will be logged without obfuscation. Please make sure to use a different password on retries.
+
+The audit log is a series of log entries. 
+An audit log entry contains:
+
+* keyspace (String) - Keyspace on which request is made
+* operation (String) - Database operation such as CQL command
+* user (String) - User name
+* scope (String) - Scope of request such as Table/Function/Aggregate name
+* type (AuditLogEntryType) - Type of request
+** CQL Audit Log Entry Type
+** Common Audit Log Entry Type
+* source (InetAddressAndPort) - Source IP Address from which request originated
+* timestamp (long ) - Timestamp of the request
+* batch (UUID) - Batch of request
+* options (QueryOptions) - CQL Query options
+* state (QueryState) - State related to a given query
+
+Each entry contains all applicable attributes for the given event, concatenated with a pipe (|).
+
+CQL audit log entry types are the following CQL commands. Each command is assigned to a particular specified category to log:
+
+[width="100%",cols="20%,80%",options="header",]
+|===
+| Category | CQL commands
+
+| DDL | ALTER_KEYSPACE, CREATE_KEYSPACE, DROP_KEYSPACE, 
+ALTER_TABLE, CREATE_TABLE, DROP_TABLE, 
+CREATE_FUNCTION, DROP_FUNCTION, 
+CREATE_AGGREGATE, DROP_AGGREGATE, 
+CREATE_INDEX, DROP_INDEX, 
+ALTER_TYPE, CREATE_TYPE, DROP_TYPE,
+CREATE_TRIGGER, DROP_TRIGGER,
+ALTER_VIEW, CREATE_VIEW, DROP_VIEW,
+TRUNCATE
+| DML | BATCH, DELETE, UPDATE
+| DCL | GRANT, REVOKE, 
+ALTER_ROLE, CREATE_ROLE, DROP_ROLE, 
+LIST_ROLES, LIST_PERMISSIONS, LIST_USERS
+| OTHER | USE_KEYSPACE
+| QUERY | SELECT
+| PREPARE | PREPARE_STATEMENT
+|===
+
+Common audit log entry types are one of the following:
+
+[width="100%",cols="50%,50%",options="header",]
+|===
+| Category | CQL commands
+
+| AUTH | LOGIN_SUCCESS, LOGIN_ERROR, UNAUTHORIZED_ATTEMPT
+| ERROR | REQUEST_FAILURE
+|===
+
+== Availability and durability
+
+NOTE: Unlike data, audit log entries are not replicated
+
+For a given query, the corresponding audit entry is only stored on the coordinator node.
+For example, an ``INSERT`` in a keyspace with replication factor of 3 will produce an audit entry on one node, the coordinator who handled the request, and not on the two other nodes.
+For this reason, and depending on compliance requirements you must meet,
+make sure that audit logs are stored on a non-ephemeral storage.
+
+You can achieve custom needs with the <<archive_command>> option.
+
+== Configuring audit logging in cassandra.yaml
+
+The `cassandra.yaml` file can be used to configure and enable audit logging.
+Configuration and enablement may be the same or different on each node, depending on the `cassandra.yaml` file settings.
+
+Audit logging can also be configured using ``nodetool`` when enabling the feature, and will override any values set in the `cassandra.yaml` file, as discussed in <<enabling_audit_with_nodetool, Enabling Audit Logging with nodetool>>.
+
+Audit logs are generated on each enabled node, so logs on each node will have that node's queries.
+All options for audit logging can be set in the `cassandra.yaml` file under the ``audit_logging_options:``.
+
+The file includes the following options that can be uncommented for use:
+
+[source, yaml]
+----
+# Audit logging - Logs every incoming CQL command request, authentication to a node. See the docs
+# on audit_logging for full details about the various configuration options.
+audit_logging_options:
+    enabled: false
+    logger:
+      - class_name: BinAuditLogger
+    # audit_logs_dir:
+    # included_keyspaces:
+    # excluded_keyspaces: system, system_schema, system_virtual_schema
+    # included_categories:
+    # excluded_categories:
+    # included_users:
+    # excluded_users:
+    # roll_cycle: HOURLY
+    # block: true
+    # max_queue_weight: 268435456 # 256 MiB
+    # max_log_size: 17179869184 # 16 GiB
+    ## archive command is "/path/to/script.sh %path" where %path is replaced with the file being rolled:
+    # archive_command:
+    # max_archive_retries: 10
+----
+
+=== enabled
+
+Control whether audit logging is enabled or disabled (default).
+
+To enable audit logging set ``enabled: true``.
+
+If this option is enabled, audit logging will start when Cassandra is started.
+It can be disabled afterwards at runtime with <<enabling_audit_with_nodetool, nodetool>>.
+
+TIP: You can monitor whether audit logging is enabled with ``AuditLogEnabled`` attribute of the JMX MBean ``org.apache.cassandra.db:type=StorageService``.
+
+=== logger
+
+The type of audit logger is set with the `logger` option. 
+Supported values are:
+
+- `BinAuditLogger` (default)
+- `FileAuditLogger`
+- `NoOpAuditLogger`
+
+`BinAuditLogger` logs events to a file in binary format.
+`FileAuditLogger` uses the standard logging mechanism, `slf4j` to log events to the `audit/audit.log` file. It is a synchronous, file-based audit logger. The roll_cycle will be set in the `logback.xml` file.
+`NoOpAuditLogger` is a no-op implementation of the audit logger that shoudl be specified when audit logging is disabled.
+
+For example:
+
+[source, yaml]
+----
+logger: 
+  - class_name: FileAuditLogger
+----
+
+TIP:  `BinAuditLogger` make use of open source https://github.com/OpenHFT/Chronicle-Queue[Chronicle Queue] under the hood. If you consider using audit logging for regulatory compliance purpose, it might be wise to be somewhat familiar with this library. See <<archive_command>> and <<roll_cycle>> for an example of the implications.
+
+=== audit_logs_dir
+
+To write audit logs, an existing directory must be set in ``audit_logs_dir``.
+
+The directory must have appropriate permissions set to allow reading, writing, and executing.
+Logging will recursively delete the directory contents as needed.
+Do not place links in this directory to other sections of the filesystem.
+For example, ``audit_logs_dir: /non_ephemeral_storage/audit/logs/hourly``.
+
+The audit log directory can also be configured using the system property `cassandra.logdir.audit`, which by default is set to `cassandra.logdir + /audit/`.
+
+=== included_keyspaces and excluded_keyspaces
+
+Set the keyspaces to include with the `included_keyspaces` option and
+the keyspaces to exclude with the `excluded_keyspaces` option. 
+By default, `system`, `system_schema` and `system_virtual_schema` are excluded, and all other keyspaces are included.
+
+For example:
+[source, yaml]
+----
+included_keyspaces: test, demo
+excluded_keyspaces: system, system_schema, system_virtual_schema
+----
+
+=== included_categories and excluded_categories
+
+The categories of database operations to include are specified with the `included_categories` option as a comma-separated list. 
+The categories of database operations to exclude are specified with `excluded_categories` option as a comma-separated list. 
+The supported categories for audit log are: `AUTH`, `DCL`, `DDL`, `DML`, `ERROR`, `OTHER`, `PREPARE`, and `QUERY`.
+By default, all supported categories are included, and no category is excluded.
+
+[source, yaml]
+----
+included_categories: AUTH, ERROR, DCL
+excluded_categories: DDL, DML, QUERY, PREPARE
+----
+
+=== included_users and excluded_users
+
+Users to audit log are set with the `included_users` and `excluded_users` options. 
+The `included_users` option specifies a comma-separated list of users to include explicitly.
+The `excluded_users` option specifies a comma-separated list of users to exclude explicitly.
+By default, all users are included, and no users are excluded.
+
+[source, yaml]
+----
+included_users: 
+excluded_users: john, mary
+----
+
+[[roll_cycle]]
+=== roll_cycle
+
+The ``roll_cycle`` defines the frequency with which the audit log segments are rolled.
+Supported values are:
+
+- ``MINUTELY``
+- ``FIVE_MINUTELY``
+- ``TEN_MINUTELY``
+- ``TWENTY_MINUTELY``
+- ``HALF_HOURLY``
+- ``HOURLY`` (default)
+- ``TWO_HOURLY``
+- ``FOUR_HOURLY``
+- ``SIX_HOURLY``
+- ``DAILY``
+
+For example: ``roll_cycle: DAILY``
+
+WARNING: Read the following paragraph when changing ``roll_cycle`` on a production node.
+
+With the `BinLogger` implementation, any attempt to modify the roll cycle on a node where audit logging was previously enabled will fail silentely due to https://github.com/OpenHFT/Chronicle-Queue[Chronicle Queue] roll cycle inference mechanism (even if you delete the ``metadata.cq4t`` file).
+
+Here is an example of such an override visible in Cassandra logs:
+----
+INFO  [main] <DATE TIME> BinLog.java:420 - Attempting to configure bin log: Path: /path/to/audit Roll cycle: TWO_HOURLY [...]
+WARN  [main] <DATE TIME> SingleChronicleQueueBuilder.java:477 - Overriding roll cycle from TWO_HOURLY to FIVE_MINUTE
+----
+
+In order to change ``roll_cycle`` on a node, you have to:
+
+1. Stop Cassandra
+2. Move or offload all audit logs somewhere else (in a safe and durable location)
+3. Restart Cassandra.
+4. Check Cassandra logs
+5. Make sure that audit log filenames under ``audit_logs_dir`` correspond to the new roll cycle.
+
+=== block
+
+The ``block`` option specifies whether audit logging should block writing or drop log records if the audit logging falls behind. Supported boolean values are ``true`` (default) or ``false``.
+
+For example: ``block: false`` to drop records (e.g. if audit is used for troobleshooting)
+
+For regulatory compliance purposes, it's a good practice to explicitly set ``block: true`` to prevent any regression in case of future default value change.
+
+=== max_queue_weight
+
+The ``max_queue_weight`` option sets the maximum weight of in-memory queue for records waiting to be written to the file before blocking or dropping.  The option must be set to a positive value. The default value is 268435456, or 256 MiB.
+
+For example, to change the default: ``max_queue_weight: 134217728 # 128 MiB``
+
+=== max_log_size
+
+The ``max_log_size`` option sets the maximum size of the rolled files to retain on disk before deleting the oldest file.  The option must be set to a positive value. The default is 17179869184, or 16 GiB.
+For example, to change the default: ``max_log_size: 34359738368 # 32 GiB``
+
+WARNING: ``max_log_size`` is ignored if ``archive_command`` option is set.
+
+[[archive_command]]
+=== archive_command
+
+NOTE: If ``archive_command`` option is empty or unset (default), Cassandra uses a built-in DeletingArchiver that deletes the oldest files if ``max_log_size`` is reached.
+
+The ``archive_command`` option sets the user-defined archive script to execute on rolled log files.
+For example: ``archive_command: "/usr/local/bin/archiveit.sh %path"``
+
+``%path`` is replaced with the absolute file path of the file being rolled.
+
+When using a user-defined script, Cassandra does **not** use the DeletingArchiver, so it's the responsibility of the script to make any required cleanup.
+
+Cassandra will call the user-defined script as soon as the log file is rolled. It means that Chronicle Queue's QueueFileShrinkManager will not be able to shrink the sparse log file because it's done asynchronously. In other words, all log files will have at least the size of the default block size (80 MiB), even if there are only a few KB of real data. Consequently, some warnings will appear in Cassandra system.log:
+
+----
+WARN  [main/queue~file~shrink~daemon] <DATE TIME> QueueFileShrinkManager.java:63 - Failed to shrink file as it exists no longer, file=/path/to/xxx.cq4
+----
+
+TIP: Because Cassandra does not make use of Pretoucher, you can configure Chronicle Queue to shrink files synchronously -- i.e. as soon as the file is rolled -- with ``chronicle.queue.synchronousFileShrinking`` JVM properties. For instance, you can add the following line at the end of ``cassandra-env.sh``: ``JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -Dchronicle.queue.synchronousFileShrinking=true"``
+
+=== max_archive_retries
+
+The ``max_archive_retries`` option sets the max number of retries of failed archive commands. The default is 10.
+
+For example: ``max_archive_retries: 10``
+
+Interval between each retry is hard coded to 5 minutes.
+
+[[enabling_audit_with_nodetool]]
+== Enabling Audit Logging with ``nodetool``
+ 
+Audit logging is enabled on a per-node basis using the ``nodetool enableauditlog`` command. The logging directory must be defined with ``audit_logs_dir`` in the `cassandra.yaml` file or uses the default value ``cassandra.logdir.audit``.
+
+The syntax of the ``nodetool enableauditlog`` command has all the same options that can be set in the ``cassandra.yaml`` file except ``audit_logs_dir``.
+In addition, ``nodetool`` has options to set which host and port to run the command on, and username and password if the command requires authentication.

+
+To enable audit logging, run following command on each node in the cluster on which you want to enable logging:
+
+[source, bash]
+----
+$ nodetool enableauditlog
+----
+
+== Disabling audit logging
+
+Use the `nodetool disableauditlog` command to disable audit logging. 
+
+== Viewing audit logs
+
+The `auditlogviewer` tool is used to view (dump) audit logs if the logger was ``BinAuditLogger``.. 
+``auditlogviewer`` converts the binary log files into human-readable format; only the audit log directory must be supplied as a command-line option.
+If the logger ``FileAuditLogger`` was set, the log file are already in human-readable format and ``auditlogviewer`` is not needed to read files. 
+
+
+The syntax of `auditlogviewer` is:
+
+[source, plaintext]
+----
+auditlogviewer
+
+Audit log files directory path is a required argument.
+usage: auditlogviewer <path1> [<path2>...<pathN>] [options]

+= Backups
+
+Apache Cassandra stores data in immutable SSTable files. Backups in
+Apache Cassandra database are backup copies of the database data that is
+stored as SSTable files. Backups are used for several purposes including
+the following:
+
+* To store a data copy for durability
+* To be able to restore a table if table data is lost due to
+node/partition/network failure
+* To be able to transfer the SSTable files to a different machine; for
+portability
+
+== Types of Backups
+
+Apache Cassandra supports two kinds of backup strategies.
+
+* Snapshots
+* Incremental Backups
+
+A _snapshot_ is a copy of a table’s SSTable files at a given time,
+created via hard links. 
+The DDL to create the table is stored as well.
+Snapshots may be created by a user or created automatically. 
+The setting `snapshot_before_compaction` in the `cassandra.yaml` file determines if
+snapshots are created before each compaction. 
+By default, `snapshot_before_compaction` is set to false. 
+Snapshots may be created automatically before keyspace truncation or dropping of a table by
+setting `auto_snapshot` to true (default) in `cassandra.yaml`. 
+Truncates could be delayed due to the auto snapshots and another setting in
+`cassandra.yaml` determines how long the coordinator should wait for
+truncates to complete. 
+By default Cassandra waits 60 seconds for auto snapshots to complete.
+
+An _incremental backup_ is a copy of a table’s SSTable files created by
+a hard link when memtables are flushed to disk as SSTables. 
+Typically incremental backups are paired with snapshots to reduce the backup time
+as well as reduce disk space. 
+Incremental backups are not enabled by default and must be enabled explicitly in `cassandra.yaml` (with
+`incremental_backups` setting) or with `nodetool`. 
+Once enabled, Cassandra creates a hard link to each SSTable flushed or streamed
+locally in a `backups/` subdirectory of the keyspace data. 
+Incremental backups of system tables are also created.
+
+== Data Directory Structure
+
+The directory structure of Cassandra data consists of different
+directories for keyspaces, and tables with the data files within the
+table directories. 
+Directories backups and snapshots to store backups
+and snapshots respectively for a particular table are also stored within
+the table directory. 
+The directory structure for Cassandra is illustrated in Figure 1.
+
+image::Figure_1_backups.jpg[Data directory structure for backups]
+
+Figure 1. Directory Structure for Cassandra Data
+
+=== Setting Up Example Tables for Backups and Snapshots
+
+In this section we shall create some example data that could be used to
+demonstrate incremental backups and snapshots. 
+We have used a three node Cassandra cluster. 
+First, the keyspaces are created. 
+Then tables are created within a keyspace and table data is added. 
+We have used two keyspaces `cqlkeyspace` and `catalogkeyspace` with two tables within
+each. 
+
+Create the keyspace `cqlkeyspace`:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/create_ks_backup.cql[]
+----
+
+Create two tables `t` and `t2` in the `cqlkeyspace` keyspace.
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/create_table_backup.cql[]
+----
+
+Add data to the tables: 
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/insert_data_backup.cql[]
+----
+
+Query the table to list the data:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/select_data_backup.cql[]
+----
+
+results in
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$RESULTS/select_data_backup.result[]
+----
+
+Create a second keyspace `catalogkeyspace`:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/create_ks2_backup.cql[]
+----
+
+Create two tables `journal`  and `magazine` in `catalogkeyspace`:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/create_table2_backup.cql[]
+----
+
+Add data to the tables:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/insert_data2_backup.cql[]
+----
+
+Query the tables to list the data:
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$CQL/select_data2_backup.cql[]
+----
+
+results in 
+
+[source,cql]
+----
+include::example$RESULTS/select_data2_backup.result[]
+----
+
+== Snapshots
+
+In this section, we demonstrate creating snapshots. 
+The command used to create a snapshot is `nodetool snapshot` with the usage:
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+include::example$BASH/nodetool_snapshot.sh[]
+----
+
+results in
+
+[source, plaintext]
+----
+include::example$RESULTS/nodetool_snapshot_help.result[]
+----
+
+=== Configuring for Snapshots
+
+To demonstrate creating snapshots with Nodetool on the commandline we
+have set `auto_snapshots` setting to `false` in the `cassandra.yaml` file:
+
+[source,yaml]
+----
+include::example$YAML/auto_snapshot.yaml[]
+----
+
+Also set `snapshot_before_compaction` to `false` to disable creating
+snapshots automatically before compaction:
+
+[source,yaml]
+----
+include::example$YAML/snapshot_before_compaction.yaml[]
+----
+
+=== Creating Snapshots
+
+Before creating any snapshots, search for snapshots and none will be listed:
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+include::example$BASH/find_snapshots.sh[]
+----
+
+We shall be using the example keyspaces and tables to create snapshots.
+
+==== Taking Snapshots of all Tables in a Keyspace
+
+Using the syntax above, create a snapshot called `catalog-ks` for all the tables
+in the `catalogkeyspace` keyspace:
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+include::example$BASH/snapshot_backup2.sh[]
+----
+
+results in
+
+[source,none]
+----
+include::example$RESULTS/snapshot_backup2.result[]
+----
+
+Using the `find` command above, the snapshots and `snapshots` directories 
+are now found with listed files similar to:
+
+[source, plaintext]
+----
+include::example$RESULTS/snapshot_backup2_find.result[]
+----
+
+Snapshots of all tables in multiple keyspaces may be created similarly:
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+include::example$BASH/snapshot_both_backups.sh[]
+----
+
+==== Taking Snapshots of Single Table in a Keyspace
+
+To take a snapshot of a single table the `nodetool snapshot` command
+syntax becomes as follows:
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+include::example$BASH/snapshot_one_table.sh[]
+----
+
+Using the syntax above, create a snapshot for table `magazine` in keyspace `catalogkeyspace`:
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+include::example$BASH/snapshot_one_table2.sh[]
+----
+
+results in
+ 
+[source, plaintext]
+----
+include::example$RESULTS/snapshot_one_table2.result[]
+----
+
+==== Taking Snapshot of Multiple Tables from same Keyspace
+
+To take snapshots of multiple tables in a keyspace the list of
+_Keyspace.table_ must be specified with option `--kt-list`. 
+For example, create snapshots for tables `t` and `t2` in the `cqlkeyspace` keyspace:
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+include::example$BASH/snapshot_mult_tables.sh[]
+----
+
+results in
+
+[source,plaintext]
+----
+include::example$RESULTS/snapshot_mult_tables.result[]
+----
+
+Multiple snapshots of the same set of tables may be created and tagged with a different name. 
+As an example, create another snapshot for the same set of tables `t` and `t2` in the `cqlkeyspace` 
+keyspace and tag the snapshots differently:
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+include::example$BASH/snapshot_mult_tables_again.sh[]
+----
+
+results in
+
+[source, plaintext]
+----
+include::example$RESULTS/snapshot_mult_tables_again.result[]
+----
+
+==== Taking Snapshot of Multiple Tables from Different Keyspaces
+
+To take snapshots of multiple tables that are in different keyspaces the
+command syntax is the same as when multiple tables are in the same
+keyspace. 
+Each <keyspace>.<table> must be specified separately in the
+`--kt-list` option. 
+
+For example, create a snapshot for table `t` in
+the `cqlkeyspace` and table `journal` in the catalogkeyspace and tag the
+snapshot `multi-ks`.
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+include::example$BASH/snapshot_mult_ks.sh[]
+----
+
+results in
+[source, plaintext]
+----
+include::example$RESULTS/snapshot_mult_ks.result[]
+----
+
+=== Listing Snapshots
+
+To list snapshots use the `nodetool listsnapshots` command. All the
+snapshots that we created in the preceding examples get listed:
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+include::example$BASH/nodetool_list_snapshots.sh[]
+----
+
+results in
+
+[source, plaintext]
+----
+include::example$RESULTS/nodetool_list_snapshots.result[]
+----
+
+=== Finding Snapshots Directories
+
+The `snapshots` directories may be listed with `find –name snapshots`
+command:
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+include::example$BASH/find_snapshots.sh[]
+----
+
+results in
+
+[source, plaintext]
+----
+include::example$RESULTS/snapshot_all.result[]
+----
+
+To list the snapshots for a particular table first change to the snapshots directory for that table. 
+For example, list the snapshots for the `catalogkeyspace/journal` table:
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+include::example$BASH/find_two_snapshots.sh[]
+----
+
+results in
+
+[source, plaintext]
+----
+include::example$RESULTS/find_two_snapshots.result[]
+----
+
+A `snapshots` directory lists the SSTable files in the snapshot.
+A `schema.cql` file is also created in each snapshot that defines schema
+that can recreate the table with CQL when restoring from a snapshot:
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+include::example$BASH/snapshot_files.sh[]
+----
+
+results in
+
+[source, plaintext]
+----
+include::example$RESULTS/snapshot_files.result[]
+----
+
+=== Clearing Snapshots
+
+Snapshots may be cleared or deleted with the `nodetool clearsnapshot`
+command. Either a specific snapshot name must be specified or the `–all`
+option must be specified. 
+
+For example, delete a snapshot called `magazine` from keyspace `cqlkeyspace`:
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+include::example$BASH/nodetool_clearsnapshot.sh[]
+----
+
+or delete all snapshots from `cqlkeyspace` with the –all option:
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+include::example$BASH/nodetool_clearsnapshot_all.sh[]
+----
+
+== Incremental Backups
+
+In the following sections, we shall discuss configuring and creating
+incremental backups.
+
+=== Configuring for Incremental Backups
+
+To create incremental backups set `incremental_backups` to `true` in
+`cassandra.yaml`.
+
+[source,yaml]
+----
+include::example$YAML/incremental_bups.yaml[]
+----
+
+This is the only setting needed to create incremental backups. 
+By default `incremental_backups` setting is set to `false` because a new
+set of SSTable files is created for each data flush and if several CQL
+statements are to be run the `backups` directory could fill up quickly
+and use up storage that is needed to store table data. 
+Incremental backups may also be enabled on the command line with the nodetool
+command `nodetool enablebackup`. 
+Incremental backups may be disabled with `nodetool disablebackup` command. 
+Status of incremental backups, whether they are enabled may be checked with `nodetool statusbackup`.
+
+=== Creating Incremental Backups
+
+After each table is created flush the table data with `nodetool flush`
+command. Incremental backups get created.
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+include::example$BASH/nodetool_flush.sh[]
+----
+
+=== Finding Incremental Backups
+
+Incremental backups are created within the Cassandra’s `data` directory
+within a table directory. Backups may be found with following command.
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+include::example$BASH/find_backups.sh[]
+----
+results in
+[source,none]
+----
+include::example$RESULTS/find_backups.result[]
+----
+
+=== Creating an Incremental Backup
+
+This section discusses how incremental backups are created in more
+detail using the keyspace and table previously created.
+
+Flush the keyspace and table:
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+include::example$BASH/nodetool_flush_table.sh[]
+----
+
+A search for backups and a `backups` directory will list a backup directory,
+even if we have added no table data yet.
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+include::example$BASH/find_backups.sh[]
+----
+
+results in
+
+[source,plaintext]
+----
+include::example$RESULTS/find_backups_table.result[]
+----
+
+Checking the `backups` directory will show that there are also no backup files:
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+include::example$BASH/check_backups.sh[]
+----
+
+results in
+
+[source, plaintext]
+----
+include::example$RESULTS/no_bups.result[]
+----
+
+If a row of data is added to the data, running the `nodetool flush` command will
+flush the table data and an incremental backup will be created:
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+include::example$BASH/flush_and_check.sh[]
+----
+
+results in 
+
+[source, plaintext]
+----
+include::example$RESULTS/flush_and_check.result[]
+----
+
+[NOTE]
+.note
+====
+The `backups` directory for any table, such as `cqlkeyspace/t` is created in the
+`data` directory for that table.
+====
+
+Adding another row of data and flushing will result in another set of incremental backup files.
+The SSTable files are timestamped, which distinguishes the first incremental backup from the
+second:
+
+[source,none]
+----
+include::example$RESULTS/flush_and_check2.result[]
+----
+
+== Restoring from Incremental Backups and Snapshots
+
+The two main tools/commands for restoring a table after it has been
+dropped are:
+
+* sstableloader
+* nodetool refresh
+
+A snapshot contains essentially the same set of SSTable files as an
+incremental backup does with a few additional files. A snapshot includes
+a `schema.cql` file for the schema DDL to create a table in CQL. A table
+backup does not include DDL which must be obtained from a snapshot when
+restoring from an incremental backup.

+= Compaction
+
+== Strategies
+
+Picking the right compaction strategy for your workload will ensure the
+best performance for both querying and for compaction itself.
+
+xref:operating/compaction/stcs.adoc[`Size Tiered Compaction Strategy (STCS)`]::
+  The default compaction strategy. Useful as a fallback when other
+  strategies don't fit the workload. Most useful for non pure time
+  series workloads with spinning disks, or when the I/O from `LCS`
+  is too high.
+xref:operating/compaction/lcs.adoc[`Leveled Compaction Strategy (LCS)`]::
+  Leveled Compaction Strategy (LCS) is optimized for read heavy
+  workloads, or workloads with lots of updates and deletes. It is not a
+  good choice for immutable time series data.
+xref:operating/compaction/twcs.adoc[`Time Window Compaction Strategy (TWCS)`]::
+  Time Window Compaction Strategy is designed for TTL'ed, mostly
+  immutable time series data.
+
+== Types of compaction
+
+The concept of compaction is used for different kinds of operations in
+Cassandra, the common thing about these operations is that it takes one
+or more SSTables and output new SSTables. The types of compactions are:
+
+Minor compaction::
+  triggered automatically in Cassandra.
+Major compaction::
+  a user executes a compaction over all SSTables on the node.
+User defined compaction::
+  a user triggers a compaction on a given set of SSTables.
+Scrub::
+  try to fix any broken SSTables. This can actually remove valid data if
+  that data is corrupted, if that happens you will need to run a full
+  repair on the node.
+UpgradeSSTables::
+  upgrade SSTables to the latest version. Run this after upgrading to a
+  new major version.
+Cleanup::
+  remove any ranges this node does not own anymore, typically triggered
+  on neighbouring nodes after a node has been bootstrapped since that
+  node will take ownership of some ranges from those nodes.
+Secondary index rebuild::
+  rebuild the secondary indexes on the node.
+Anticompaction::
+  after repair the ranges that were actually repaired are split out of
+  the SSTables that existed when repair started.
+Sub range compaction::
+  It is possible to only compact a given sub range - this could be
+  useful if you know a token that has been misbehaving - either
+  gathering many updates or many deletes.
+  (`nodetool compact -st x -et y`) will pick all SSTables containing the
+  range between x and y and issue a compaction for those SSTables. For
+  STCS this will most likely include all SSTables but with LCS it can
+  issue the compaction for a subset of the SSTables. With LCS the
+  resulting sstable will end up in L0.
+
+== When is a minor compaction triggered?
+
+* When an sstable is added to the node through flushing/streaming
+* When autocompaction is enabled after being disabled (`nodetool enableautocompaction`) 
+* When compaction adds new SSTables 
+* A check for new minor compactions every 5 minutes
+
+== Merging SSTables
+
+Compaction is about merging SSTables, since partitions in SSTables are
+sorted based on the hash of the partition key it is possible to
+efficiently merge separate SSTables. Content of each partition is also
+sorted so each partition can be merged efficiently.
+
+== Tombstones and Garbage Collection (GC) Grace
+
+=== Why Tombstones
+
+When a delete request is received by Cassandra it does not actually
+remove the data from the underlying store. Instead it writes a special
+piece of data known as a tombstone. The Tombstone represents the delete
+and causes all values which occurred before the tombstone to not appear
+in queries to the database. This approach is used instead of removing
+values because of the distributed nature of Cassandra.
+
+=== Deletes without tombstones
+
+Imagine a three node cluster which has the value [A] replicated to every
+node.:
+
+[source,none]
+----
+[A], [A], [A]
+----
+
+If one of the nodes fails and and our delete operation only removes
+existing values we can end up with a cluster that looks like:
+
+[source,none]
+----
+[], [], [A]
+----
+
+Then a repair operation would replace the value of [A] back onto the two
+nodes which are missing the value.:
+
+[source,none]
+----
+[A], [A], [A]
+----
+
+This would cause our data to be resurrected even though it had been
+deleted.
+
+=== Deletes with Tombstones
+
+Starting again with a three node cluster which has the value [A]
+replicated to every node.:
+
+[source,none]
+----
+[A], [A], [A]
+----
+
+If instead of removing data we add a tombstone record, our single node
+failure situation will look like this.:
+
+[source,none]
+----
+[A, Tombstone[A]], [A, Tombstone[A]], [A]
+----
+
+Now when we issue a repair the Tombstone will be copied to the replica,
+rather than the deleted data being resurrected.:
+
+[source,none]
+----
+[A, Tombstone[A]], [A, Tombstone[A]], [A, Tombstone[A]]
+----
+
+Our repair operation will correctly put the state of the system to what
+we expect with the record [A] marked as deleted on all nodes. This does
+mean we will end up accruing Tombstones which will permanently
+accumulate disk space. To avoid keeping tombstones forever we have a
+parameter known as `gc_grace_seconds` for every table in Cassandra.
+
+=== The gc_grace_seconds parameter and Tombstone Removal
+
+The table level `gc_grace_seconds` parameter controls how long Cassandra
+will retain tombstones through compaction events before finally removing
+them. This duration should directly reflect the amount of time a user
+expects to allow before recovering a failed node. After
+`gc_grace_seconds` has expired the tombstone may be removed (meaning
+there will no longer be any record that a certain piece of data was
+deleted), but as a tombstone can live in one sstable and the data it
+covers in another, a compaction must also include both sstable for a
+tombstone to be removed. More precisely, to be able to drop an actual
+tombstone the following needs to be true;
+
+* The tombstone must be older than `gc_grace_seconds`
+* If partition X contains the tombstone, the sstable containing the
+partition plus all SSTables containing data older than the tombstone
+containing X must be included in the same compaction. We don't need to
+care if the partition is in an sstable if we can guarantee that all data
+in that sstable is newer than the tombstone. If the tombstone is older
+than the data it cannot shadow that data.
+* If the option `only_purge_repaired_tombstones` is enabled, tombstones
+are only removed if the data has also been repaired.
+
+If a node remains down or disconnected for longer than
+`gc_grace_seconds` it's deleted data will be repaired back to the other
+nodes and re-appear in the cluster. This is basically the same as in the
+"Deletes without Tombstones" section. Note that tombstones will not be
+removed until a compaction event even if `gc_grace_seconds` has elapsed.
+
+The default value for `gc_grace_seconds` is 864000 which is equivalent
+to 10 days. This can be set when creating or altering a table using
+`WITH gc_grace_seconds`.
+
+== TTL
+
+Data in Cassandra can have an additional property called time to live -
+this is used to automatically drop data that has expired once the time
+is reached. Once the TTL has expired the data is converted to a
+tombstone which stays around for at least `gc_grace_seconds`. Note that
+if you mix data with TTL and data without TTL (or just different length
+of the TTL) Cassandra will have a hard time dropping the tombstones
+created since the partition might span many SSTables and not all are
+compacted at once.
+
+== Fully expired SSTables
+
+If an SSTable contains only tombstones and it is guaranteed that
+SSTable is not shadowing data in any other SSTable, then the compaction can drop
+that SSTable. If you see SSTables with only tombstones (note that TTL-ed
+data is considered tombstones once the time-to-live has expired), but it
+is not being dropped by compaction, it is likely that other SSTables
+contain older data. There is a tool called `sstableexpiredblockers` that
+will list which SSTables are droppable and which are blocking them from
+being dropped. With `TimeWindowCompactionStrategy` it
+is possible to remove the guarantee (not check for shadowing data) by
+enabling `unsafe_aggressive_sstable_expiration`.
+
+== Repaired/unrepaired data
+
+With incremental repairs Cassandra must keep track of what data is
+repaired and what data is unrepaired. With anticompaction repaired data
+is split out into repaired and unrepaired SSTables. To avoid mixing up
+the data again separate compaction strategy instances are run on the two
+sets of data, each instance only knowing about either the repaired or
+the unrepaired SSTables. This means that if you only run incremental
+repair once and then never again, you might have very old data in the
+repaired SSTables that block compaction from dropping tombstones in the
+unrepaired (probably newer) SSTables.
+
+== Data directories
+
+Since tombstones and data can live in different SSTables it is important
+to realize that losing an sstable might lead to data becoming live again
+- the most common way of losing SSTables is to have a hard drive break
+down. To avoid making data live tombstones and actual data are always in
+the same data directory. This way, if a disk is lost, all versions of a
+partition are lost and no data can get undeleted. To achieve this a
+compaction strategy instance per data directory is run in addition to
+the compaction strategy instances containing repaired/unrepaired data,
+this means that if you have 4 data directories there will be 8
+compaction strategy instances running. This has a few more benefits than
+just avoiding data getting undeleted:
+
+* It is possible to run more compactions in parallel - leveled
+compaction will have several totally separate levelings and each one can
+run compactions independently from the others.
+* Users can backup and restore a single data directory.
+* Note though that currently all data directories are considered equal,
+so if you have a tiny disk and a big disk backing two data directories,
+the big one will be limited the by the small one. One work around to
+this is to create more data directories backed by the big disk.
+
+== Single sstable tombstone compaction
+
+When an sstable is written a histogram with the tombstone expiry times
+is created and this is used to try to find SSTables with very many
+tombstones and run single sstable compaction on that sstable in hope of
+being able to drop tombstones in that sstable. Before starting this it
+is also checked how likely it is that any tombstones will actually will
+be able to be dropped how much this sstable overlaps with other
+SSTables. To avoid most of these checks the compaction option
+`unchecked_tombstone_compaction` can be enabled.
+
+[[compaction-options]]
+== Common options
+
+There is a number of common options for all the compaction strategies;
+
+`enabled` (default: true)::
+  Whether minor compactions should run. Note that you can have
+  'enabled': true as a compaction option and then do 'nodetool
+  enableautocompaction' to start running compactions.
+`tombstone_threshold` (default: 0.2)::
+  How much of the sstable should be tombstones for us to consider doing
+  a single sstable compaction of that sstable.
+`tombstone_compaction_interval` (default: 86400s (1 day))::
+  Since it might not be possible to drop any tombstones when doing a
+  single sstable compaction we need to make sure that one sstable is not
+  constantly getting recompacted - this option states how often we
+  should try for a given sstable.
+`log_all` (default: false)::
+  New detailed compaction logging, see
+  `below <detailed-compaction-logging>`.
+`unchecked_tombstone_compaction` (default: false)::
+  The single sstable compaction has quite strict checks for whether it
+  should be started, this option disables those checks and for some
+  usecases this might be needed. Note that this does not change anything
+  for the actual compaction, tombstones are only dropped if it is safe
+  to do so - it might just rewrite an sstable without being able to drop
+  any tombstones.
+`only_purge_repaired_tombstone` (default: false)::
+  Option to enable the extra safety of making sure that tombstones are
+  only dropped if the data has been repaired.
+`min_threshold` (default: 4)::
+  Lower limit of number of SSTables before a compaction is triggered.
+  Not used for `LeveledCompactionStrategy`.
+`max_threshold` (default: 32)::
+  Upper limit of number of SSTables before a compaction is triggered.
+  Not used for `LeveledCompactionStrategy`.
+
+Further, see the section on each strategy for specific additional
+options.
+
+== Compaction nodetool commands
+
+The `nodetool <nodetool>` utility provides a number of commands related
+to compaction:
+
+`enableautocompaction`::
+  Enable compaction.
+`disableautocompaction`::
+  Disable compaction.
+`setcompactionthroughput`::
+  How fast compaction should run at most - defaults to 64MiB/s.
+`compactionstats`::
+  Statistics about current and pending compactions.
+`compactionhistory`::
+  List details about the last compactions.
+`setcompactionthreshold`::
+  Set the min/max sstable count for when to trigger compaction, defaults
+  to 4/32.
+
+== Switching the compaction strategy and options using JMX
+
+It is possible to switch compaction strategies and its options on just a
+single node using JMX, this is a great way to experiment with settings
+without affecting the whole cluster. The mbean is:
+
+[source,none]
+----
+org.apache.cassandra.db:type=ColumnFamilies,keyspace=<keyspace_name>,columnfamily=<table_name>
+----
+
+and the attribute to change is `CompactionParameters` or
+`CompactionParametersJson` if you use jconsole or jmc. The syntax for
+the json version is the same as you would use in an
+`ALTER TABLE <alter-table-statement>` statement -for example:
+
+[source,none]
+----
+{ 'class': 'LeveledCompactionStrategy', 'sstable_size_in_mb': 123, 'fanout_size': 10}
+----
+
+The setting is kept until someone executes an
+`ALTER TABLE <alter-table-statement>` that touches the compaction
+settings or restarts the node.
+
+[[detailed-compaction-logging]]
+== More detailed compaction logging
+
+Enable with the compaction option `log_all` and a more detailed
+compaction log file will be produced in your log directory.

+= Denylisting Partitions
+
+Due to access patterns and data modeling, sometimes there are specific partitions
+that are "hot" and can cause instability in a Cassandra cluster. This often occurs
+when your data model includes many update or insert operations on a single partition,
+causing the partition to grow very large over time and in turn making it very expensive
+to read and maintain.
+
+Cassandra supports "denylisting" these problematic partitions so that when clients
+issue point reads (`SELECT` statements with the partition key specified) or range
+reads (`SELECT *`, etc that pull a range of data) that intersect with a blocked
+partition key, the query will be immediately rejected with an `InvalidQueryException`.
+
+== How to denylist a partition key
+
+The ``system_distributed.denylisted_partitions`` table can be used to denylist partitions.
+There are a couple of ways to interact with and mutate this data. First: directly
+via CQL by inserting a record with the following details:
+
+- Keyspace name (ks_name)
+- Table name (table_name)
+- Partition Key (partition_key)
+
+The partition key format needs to be in the same form required by ``nodetool getendpoints``.
+
+Following are several examples for denylisting partition keys in keyspace `ks` and
+table `table1` for different data types on the primary key `Id`:
+
+- Id is a simple type - `INSERT INTO system_distributed.denylisted_partitions (ks_name, table_name, partition_key) VALUES ('ks','table1','1');`
+- Id is a blob        - `INSERT INTO system_distributed.denylisted_partitions (ks_name, table_name, partition_key) VALUES ('ks','table1','12345f');`
+- Id has a colon      - `INSERT INTO system_distributed.denylisted_partitions (ks_name, table_name, partition_key) VALUES ('ks','table1','1\:2');`
+
+In the case of composite column partition keys (Key1, Key2):
+
+- `INSERT INTO system_distributed.denylisted_partitions (ks_name, table_name, partition_key) VALUES ('ks', 'table1', 'k11:k21')`
+
+
+=== Special considerations
+
+The denylist has the property in that you want to keep your cache (see below) and
+CQL data on a replica set as close together as possible, so you don't have different
+nodes in your cluster denying or allowing different keys. To best achieve this,
+the workflow for a denylist change (addition or deletion) should always be as follows:
+
+JMX PATH (preferred for single changes):
+
+1. Call the JMX hook for ``denylistKey()`` with the desired key
+2. Double-check the cache reloaded with ``isKeyDenylisted()``
+3. Check for warnings about unrecognized keyspace/table combinations, limits, or
+consistency level. If you get a message about nodes being down and not hitting CL
+for denylist, recover the downed nodes and then trigger a re-load of the cache on each
+node with ``loadPartitionDenylist()``
+
+CQL PATH (preferred for bulk changes):
+
+1. Mutate the denylisted partition lists via CQL
+2. Trigger a re-load of the denylist cache on each node via JMX ``loadPartitionDenylist()`` (see below)
+3. Check for warnings about lack of availability for a denylist refresh. In the event nodes are down, recover them, then go to 2.
+
+Due to conditions on known unavailable range slices leading to alert storming on
+startup, the denylist cache will not load on node start unless it can achieve the
+configured consistency level in `cassandra.yaml` - `denylist_consistency_level`.
+The JMX call to `loadPartitionDenylist` will, however, load the cache regardless
+of the number of nodes available. This leaves the control for denylisting or not
+denylisting during degraded cluster states in the hands of the operator.
+
+== Denylisted Partitions Cache
+
+Cassandra internally maintains an on-heap cache of denylisted partitions loaded
+from ``system_distributed.denylisted_partitions``. The values for a table will be
+automatically repopulated every ``denylist_refresh`` as specified in the
+`conf/cassandra.yaml` file, defaulting to `600s`, or 10 minutes. Invalid records
+(unknown keyspaces, tables, or keys) will be ignored and not cached on load.
+
+The cache can be refreshed in the following ways:
+
+- During Cassandra node startup
+- Via the automatic on-heap cache refresh mechanisms. Note: this will occur asynchronously
+on query after the ``denylist_refresh`` time is hit.
+- Via the JMX command: ``loadPartitionDenylist`` in ``the org.apache.cassandra.service.
+StorageProxyMBean`` invocation point.
+
+The Cache size is bounded by the following two config properties
+
+- denylist_max_keys_per_table
+- denylist_max_keys_total
+
+On cache load, if a table exceeds the value allowed in `denylist_max_keys_per_table` (defaults to 1000),
+a warning will be printed to the logs and the remainder of the keys will not be cached.
+Similarly, if the total allowed size is exceeded, subsequent ks_name + table_name
+combinations (in clustering / lexicographical order) will be skipped as well, and a
+warning logged to the server logs.
+
+[NOTE]
+====
+Given the required workflow of 1) Mutate, 2) Reload cache, the auto-reload
+property seems superfluous. It exists to ensure that, should an operator make a
+mistake and denylist (or undenylist) a key but forget to reload the cache, that
+intent will be captured on the next cache reload.

+= Monitoring
+
+Metrics in Cassandra are managed using the
+http://metrics.dropwizard.io[Dropwizard Metrics] library. These metrics
+can be queried via JMX or pushed to external monitoring systems using a
+number of
+http://metrics.dropwizard.io/3.1.0/getting-started/#other-reporting[built
+in] and http://metrics.dropwizard.io/3.1.0/manual/third-party/[third
+party] reporter plugins.
+
+Metrics are collected for a single node. It's up to the operator to use
+an external monitoring system to aggregate them.
+
+== Metric Types
+
+All metrics reported by cassandra fit into one of the following types.
+
+`Gauge`::
+  An instantaneous measurement of a value.
+`Counter`::
+  A gauge for an `AtomicLong` instance. Typically this is consumed by
+  monitoring the change since the last call to see if there is a large
+  increase compared to the norm.
+`Histogram`::
+  Measures the statistical distribution of values in a stream of data.
+  +
+  In addition to minimum, maximum, mean, etc., it also measures median,
+  75th, 90th, 95th, 98th, 99th, and 99.9th percentiles.
+`Timer`::
+  Measures both the rate that a particular piece of code is called and
+  the histogram of its duration.
+`Latency`::
+  Special type that tracks latency (in microseconds) with a `Timer` plus
+  a `Counter` that tracks the total latency accrued since starting. The
+  former is useful if you track the change in total latency since the
+  last check. Each metric name of this type will have 'Latency' and
+  'TotalLatency' appended to it.
+`Meter`::
+  A meter metric which measures mean throughput and one-, five-, and
+  fifteen-minute exponentially-weighted moving average throughputs.
+
+== Table Metrics
+
+Each table in Cassandra has metrics responsible for tracking its state
+and performance.
+
+The metric names are all appended with the specific `Keyspace` and
+`Table` name.
+
+Reported name format:
+
+*Metric Name*::
+  `org.apache.cassandra.metrics.Table.<MetricName>.<Keyspace>.<Table>`
+*JMX MBean*::
+  `org.apache.cassandra.metrics:type=Table keyspace=<Keyspace> scope=<Table> name=<MetricName>`
+
+[NOTE]
+====
+There is a special table called '`all`' without a keyspace. This
+represents the aggregation of metrics across *all* tables and keyspaces
+on the node.

+
+[source,none]
+----
+HttpAdaptor version 3.0.2 started on port 8081
+----
+
+To choose a different port (8081 is the default) or a different listen
+address (0.0.0.0 is not the default) edit `conf/cassandra-env.sh` and
+uncomment:
+
+[source,none]
+----
+#MX4J_ADDRESS="-Dmx4jaddress=0.0.0.0"
+
+#MX4J_PORT="-Dmx4jport=8081"
+----
+
+== Metric Reporters [[metric_reporters]]
+
+As mentioned at the top of this section on monitoring the Cassandra
+metrics can be exported to a number of monitoring system a number of
+http://metrics.dropwizard.io/3.1.0/getting-started/#other-reporting[built
+in] and http://metrics.dropwizard.io/3.1.0/manual/third-party/[third
+party] reporter plugins.
+
+The configuration of these plugins is managed by the
+https://github.com/addthis/metrics-reporter-config[metrics reporter
+config project]. There is a sample configuration file located at
+`conf/metrics-reporter-config-sample.yaml`.
+
+Once configured, you simply start cassandra with the flag
+`-Dcassandra.metricsReporterConfigFile=metrics-reporter-config.yaml`.
+The specified .yaml file plus any 3rd party reporter jars must all be in
+Cassandra's classpath.

+= Virtual Tables
+
+Apache Cassandra 4.0 implements virtual tables (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7622[CASSANDRA-7622]).
+Virtual tables are tables backed by an API instead of data explicitly managed and stored as SSTables. 
+Apache Cassandra 4.0 implements a virtual keyspace interface for virtual tables. 
+Virtual tables are specific to each node.
+
+Some of the features of virtual tables are the ability to:
+
+* expose metrics through CQL
+* expose YAML configuration information
+
+Virtual keyspaces and tables are quite different from regular tables and keyspaces:
+
+* Virtual tables are created in special keyspaces and not just any keyspace.
+* Virtual tables are managed by Cassandra. Users cannot run DDL to create new virtual tables or DML to modify existing virtual tables.
+* Virtual tables are currently read-only, although that may change in a later version.
+* Virtual tables are local only, non-distributed, and thus not replicated.
+* Virtual tables have no associated SSTables.
+* Consistency level of the queries sent to virtual tables are ignored.
+* All existing virtual tables use `LocalPartitioner`. 
+Since a virtual table is not replicated the partitioner sorts in order of partition keys instead of by their hash.
+* Making advanced queries using `ALLOW FILTERING` and aggregation functions can be executed in virtual tables, even though in normal tables we do not recommend it.
+From https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-18238[CASSANDRA-18238], it is not necessary to specify `ALLOW FILTERING` when a query would normally require that, except when querying the table `system_views.system_logs`.
+
+== Virtual Keyspaces
+
+Apache Cassandra 4.0 has added two new keyspaces for virtual tables:
+
+* `system_virtual_schema` 
+* `system_views`. 
+
+The `system_virtual_schema` keyspace has three tables: `keyspaces`,
+`columns` and `tables` for the virtual keyspace, table, and column definitions, respectively.
+These tables contain schema information for the virtual tables.
+It is used by Cassandra internally and a user should not access it directly.
+
+The `system_views` keyspace contains the actual virtual tables.
+
+== Virtual Table Limitations
+
+Before disccusing virtual keyspaces and tables, note that virtual keyspaces and tables have some limitations. 
+These limitations are subject to change.
+Virtual keyspaces cannot be altered or dropped. 
+In fact, no operations can be performed against virtual keyspaces.
+
+Virtual tables cannot be created in virtual keyspaces.
+Virtual tables cannot be altered, dropped, or truncated.
+Secondary indexes, types, functions, aggregates, materialized views, and triggers cannot be created for virtual tables.
+Expiring time-to-live (TTL) columns cannot be created.
+Virtual tables do not support conditional updates or deletes.
+Aggregates may be run in SELECT statements.
+
+Conditional batch statements cannot include mutations for virtual tables, nor can a virtual table statement be included in a logged batch.
+In fact, mutations for virtual and regular tables cannot occur in the same batch table.
+
+== Virtual Tables
+
+Each of the virtual tables in the `system_views` virtual keyspace contain different information.
+
+The following table describes the virtual tables: 
+
+[width="98%",cols="27%,73%",]
+|===
+|Virtual Table |Description
+
+|caches |Displays the general cache information including cache name, capacity_bytes, entry_count, hit_count, hit_ratio double,
+recent_hit_rate_per_second, recent_request_rate_per_second, request_count, and size_bytes.
+
+|clients |Lists information about all connected clients.
+
+|coordinator_read_latency |Records counts, keyspace_name, table_name, max, median, and per_second for coordinator reads.
+
+|coordinator_scan |Records counts, keyspace_name, table_name, max, median, and per_second for coordinator scans.
+
+|coordinator_write_latency |Records counts, keyspace_name, table_name, max, median, and per_second for coordinator writes.
+
+|disk_usage |Records disk usage including disk_space, keyspace_name, and table_name, sorted by system keyspaces.
+
+|internode_inbound |Lists information about the inbound internode messaging.
+
+|internode_outbound |Information about the outbound internode messaging.
+
+|local_read_latency |Records counts, keyspace_name, table_name, max, median, and per_second for local reads.
+
+|local_scan |Records counts, keyspace_name, table_name, max, median, and per_second for local scans.
+
+|local_write_latency |Records counts, keyspace_name, table_name, max, median, and per_second for local writes.
+
+|max_partition_size |A table metric for maximum partition size.
+
+|rows_per_read |Records counts, keyspace_name, tablek_name, max, and median for rows read.
+
+|settings |Displays configuration settings in cassandra.yaml.
+
+|sstable_tasks |Lists currently running tasks and progress on SSTables, for operations like compaction and upgrade.
+
+|system_logs |Displays Cassandra logs if logged via CQLLOG appender in logback.xml
+
+|system_properties |Displays environmental system properties set on the node.
+
+|thread_pools |Lists metrics for each thread pool.
+
+|tombstones_per_read |Records counts, keyspace_name, tablek_name, max, and median for tombstones.
+|===
+
+For improved usability, from https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-18238[CASSANDRA-18238],
+all tables except `system_logs` have `ALLOW FILTERING` implicitly added to a query when required by CQL specification.
+
+We shall discuss some of the virtual tables in more detail next.
+
+=== Clients Virtual Table
+
+The `clients` virtual table lists all active connections (connected
+clients) including their ip address, port, client_options, connection stage, driver
+name, driver version, hostname, protocol version, request count, ssl
+enabled, ssl protocol and user name:
+
+....

+
+(4 rows)
+....
+
+Some examples of how `clients` can be used are:
+
+* To find applications using old incompatible versions of drivers before
+upgrading and with `nodetool enableoldprotocolversions` and
+`nodetool disableoldprotocolversions` during upgrades.
+* To identify clients sending too many requests.
+* To find if SSL is enabled during the migration to and from ssl.
+
+The virtual tables may be described with `DESCRIBE` statement. The DDL
+listed however cannot be run to create a virtual table. As an example
+describe the `system_views.clients` virtual table:
+
+....
+cqlsh> DESCRIBE TABLE system_views.clients;
+
+/*
+Warning: Table system_views.clients is a virtual table and cannot be recreated with CQL.
+Structure, for reference:
+VIRTUAL TABLE system_views.clients (
+  address inet,
+  port int,
+  client_options frozen<map<text, text>>,
+  connection_stage text,
+  driver_name text,
+  driver_version text,
+  hostname text,
+  protocol_version int,
+  request_count bigint,
+  ssl_cipher_suite text,
+  ssl_enabled boolean,
+  ssl_protocol text,
+  username text,
+    PRIMARY KEY (address, port)
+) WITH CLUSTERING ORDER BY (port ASC)
+    AND comment = 'currently connected clients';
+*/
+....
+
+=== Caches Virtual Table
+
+The `caches` virtual table lists information about the caches. The four
+caches presently created are chunks, counters, keys and rows. A query on
+the `caches` virtual table returns the following details:
+
+....
+cqlsh:system_views> SELECT * FROM system_views.caches;
+name     | capacity_bytes | entry_count | hit_count | hit_ratio | recent_hit_rate_per_second | recent_request_rate_per_second | request_count | size_bytes
+---------+----------------+-------------+-----------+-----------+----------------------------+--------------------------------+---------------+------------
+  chunks |      229638144 |          29 |       166 |      0.83 |                          5 |                              6 |           200 |     475136
+counters |       26214400 |           0 |         0 |       NaN |                          0 |                              0 |             0 |          0
+    keys |       52428800 |          14 |       124 |  0.873239 |                          4 |                              4 |           142 |       1248
+    rows |              0 |           0 |         0 |       NaN |                          0 |                              0 |             0 |          0
+
+(4 rows)
+....
+
+=== Settings Virtual Table
+
+The `settings` table is rather useful and lists all the current
+configuration settings from the `cassandra.yaml`. The encryption options
+are overridden to hide the sensitive truststore information or
+passwords. The configuration settings however cannot be set using DML on
+the virtual table presently: :
+
+....
+cqlsh:system_views> SELECT * FROM system_views.settings;
+
+name                                 | value
+-------------------------------------+--------------------
+  allocate_tokens_for_keyspace       | null
+  audit_logging_options_enabled      | false
+  auto_snapshot                      | true
+  automatic_sstable_upgrade          | false
+  cluster_name                       | Test Cluster
+  enable_transient_replication       | false
+  hinted_handoff_enabled             | true
+  hints_directory                    | /home/ec2-user/cassandra/data/hints
+  incremental_backups                | false
+  initial_token                      | null
+                           ...
+                           ...
+                           ...
+  rpc_address                        | localhost
+  ssl_storage_port                   | 7001
+  start_native_transport             | true
+  storage_port                       | 7000
+  stream_entire_sstables             | true
+  (224 rows)
+....
+
+The `settings` table can be really useful if yaml file has been changed
+since startup and dont know running configuration, or to find if they
+have been modified via jmx/nodetool or virtual tables.
+
+=== Thread Pools Virtual Table
+
+The `thread_pools` table lists information about all thread pools.
+Thread pool information includes active tasks, active tasks limit,
+blocked tasks, blocked tasks all time, completed tasks, and pending
+tasks. A query on the `thread_pools` returns following details:

+=== Internode Inbound Messaging Virtual Table
+
+The `internode_inbound` virtual table is for the internode inbound
+messaging. Initially no internode inbound messaging may get listed. In
+addition to the address, port, datacenter and rack information includes
+corrupt frames recovered, corrupt frames unrecovered, error bytes, error
+count, expired bytes, expired count, processed bytes, processed count,
+received bytes, received count, scheduled bytes, scheduled count,
+throttled count, throttled nanos, using bytes, using reserve bytes. A
+query on the `internode_inbound` returns following details:
+
+....
+cqlsh:system_views> SELECT * FROM system_views.internode_inbound;
+address | port | dc | rack | corrupt_frames_recovered | corrupt_frames_unrecovered |
+error_bytes | error_count | expired_bytes | expired_count | processed_bytes |

+
+=== SSTables Tasks Virtual Table
+
+The `sstable_tasks` could be used to get information about running
+tasks. It lists following columns:
+
+....
+cqlsh:system_views> SELECT * FROM sstable_tasks;
+keyspace_name | table_name | task_id                              | kind       | progress | total    | unit

+....
+
+As another example, to find how much time is remaining for SSTable
+tasks, use the following query:
+
+....
+SELECT total - progress AS remaining
+FROM system_views.sstable_tasks;
+....
+
+=== Other Virtual Tables
+
+Some examples of using other virtual tables are as follows.
+
+Find tables with most disk usage:
+
+....

+
+keyspace_name | table_name | mebibytes
+---------------+------------+-----------
+   keyspace1 |  standard1 |       288

+....
+
+Find queries on table/s with greatest read latency:
+
+....
+cqlsh> SELECT * FROM  local_read_latency WHERE per_second > 1 ALLOW FILTERING;
+
+keyspace_name | table_name | p50th_ms | p99th_ms | count    | max_ms  | per_second

+= Cassandra Stress
+
+The `cassandra-stress` tool is used to benchmark and load-test a Cassandra
+cluster. 
+`cassandra-stress` supports testing arbitrary CQL tables and queries, allowing users to benchmark their own data model.
+
+This documentation focuses on user mode to test personal schema.
+
+== Usage
+
+There are several operation types:
+
+* write-only, read-only, and mixed workloads of standard data
+* write-only and read-only workloads for counter columns
+* user configured workloads, running custom queries on custom schemas
+
+The syntax is `cassandra-stress <command> [options]`. 
+For more information on a given command or options, run `cassandra-stress help <command|option>`.
+
+Commands:::
+  read:;;
+    Multiple concurrent reads - the cluster must first be populated by a
+    write test
+  write:;;
+    Multiple concurrent writes against the cluster
+  mixed:;;
+    Interleaving of any basic commands, with configurable ratio and
+    distribution - the cluster must first be populated by a write test
+  counter_write:;;
+    Multiple concurrent updates of counters.
+  counter_read:;;
+    Multiple concurrent reads of counters. The cluster must first be
+    populated by a counterwrite test.
+  user:;;
+    Interleaving of user provided queries, with configurable ratio and
+    distribution.
+  help:;;
+    Print help for a command or option
+  print:;;
+    Inspect the output of a distribution definition
+  legacy:;;
+    Legacy support mode
+Primary Options:::
+  -pop:;;
+    Population distribution and intra-partition visit order
+  -insert:;;
+    Insert specific options relating to various methods for batching and
+    splitting partition updates
+  -col:;;
+    Column details such as size and count distribution, data generator,
+    names, comparator and if super columns should be used
+  -rate:;;
+    Thread count, rate limit or automatic mode (default is auto)
+  -mode:;;
+    Thrift or CQL with options
+  -errors:;;
+    How to handle errors when encountered during stress
+  -sample:;;
+    Specify the number of samples to collect for measuring latency
+  -schema:;;
+    Replication settings, compression, compaction, etc.
+  -node:;;
+    Nodes to connect to
+  -log:;;
+    Where to log progress to, and the interval at which to do it
+  -transport:;;
+    Custom transport factories
+  -port:;;
+    The port to connect to cassandra nodes on
+  -graph:;;
+    Graph recorded metrics
+  -tokenrange:;;
+    Token range settings
+  -jmx:;;
+    Username and password for JMX connection
+  -credentials-file <path>:;;
+    Credentials file to specify for CQL, JMX and transport
+  -reporting:;;
+    Frequency of printing statistics and header for stress output
+Suboptions:::
+  Every command and primary option has its own collection of suboptions.
+  These are too numerous to list here. For information on the suboptions
+  for each command or option, please use the help command,
+  `cassandra-stress help <command|option>`.
+
+== User mode
+
+User mode allows you to stress your own schemas, to save you time
+in the long run. Find out if your application can scale using stress test with your schema.
+
+=== Profile
+
+User mode defines a profile using YAML. 
+Multiple YAML files may be specified, in which case operations in the ops argument are referenced as
+specname.opname.
+
+An identifier for the profile:
+
+[source,yaml]
+----
+specname: staff_activities
+----
+
+The keyspace for the test:
+
+[source,yaml]
+----
+keyspace: staff
+----
+
+CQL for the keyspace. Optional if the keyspace already exists:
+
+[source,yaml]
+----
+keyspace_definition: |
+ CREATE KEYSPACE stresscql WITH replication = {'class': 'SimpleStrategy', 'replication_factor': 3};
+----
+
+The table to be stressed:
+
+[source,yaml]
+----
+table: staff_activities
+----
+
+CQL for the table. Optional if the table already exists:
+
+[source,yaml]
+----
+table_definition: |
+  CREATE TABLE staff_activities (
+      name text,
+      when timeuuid,
+      what text,
+      PRIMARY KEY(name, when, what)
+  ) 
+----
+
+Optional meta-information on the generated columns in the above table.
+The min and max only apply to text and blob types. The distribution
+field represents the total unique population distribution of that column
+across rows:
+
+[source,yaml]
+----
+columnspec:
+  - name: name
+    size: uniform(5..10) # The names of the staff members are between 5-10 characters
+    population: uniform(1..10) # 10 possible staff members to pick from
+  - name: when
+    cluster: uniform(20..500) # Staff members do between 20 and 500 events
+  - name: what
+    size: normal(10..100,50)
+----
+
+Supported types are:
+
+An exponential distribution over the range [min..max]:
+
+[source,yaml]
+----
+EXP(min..max)
+----
+
+An extreme value (Weibull) distribution over the range [min..max]:
+
+[source,yaml]
+----
+EXTREME(min..max,shape)
+----
+
+A gaussian/normal distribution, where mean=(min+max)/2, and stdev is
+(mean-min)/stdvrng:
+
+[source,yaml]
+----
+GAUSSIAN(min..max,stdvrng)
+----
+
+A gaussian/normal distribution, with explicitly defined mean and stdev:
+
+[source,yaml]
+----
+GAUSSIAN(min..max,mean,stdev)
+----
+
+A uniform distribution over the range [min, max]:
+
+[source,yaml]
+----
+UNIFORM(min..max)
+----
+
+A fixed distribution, always returning the same value:
+
+[source,yaml]
+----
+FIXED(val)
+----
+
+If preceded by ~, the distribution is inverted
+
+Defaults for all columns are size: uniform(4..8), population:
+uniform(1..100B), cluster: fixed(1)
+
+Insert distributions:
+
+[source,yaml]
+----
+insert:
+  # How many partition to insert per batch
+  partitions: fixed(1)
+  # How many rows to update per partition
+  select: fixed(1)/500
+  # UNLOGGED or LOGGED batch for insert
+  batchtype: UNLOGGED
+----
+
+Currently all inserts are done inside batches.
+
+Read statements to use during the test:
+
+[source,yaml]
+----
+queries:
+   events:
+      cql: select *  from staff_activities where name = ?
+      fields: samerow
+   latest_event:
+      cql: select * from staff_activities where name = ?  LIMIT 1
+      fields: samerow
+----
+
+Running a user mode test:
+
+[source,yaml]

+cassandra-stress user profile=./example.yaml duration=1m "ops(insert=1,latest_event=1,events=1)" truncate=once
+----
+
+This will create the schema then run tests for 1 minute with an equal
+number of inserts, latest_event queries and events queries. Additionally
+the table will be truncated once before the test.
+
+The full example can be found here:
+[source, yaml]
+----
+include::example$YAML/stress-example.yaml[]
+---- 
+
+Running a user mode test with multiple yaml files::::
+  cassandra-stress user profile=./example.yaml,./example2.yaml
+  duration=1m "ops(ex1.insert=1,ex1.latest_event=1,ex2.insert=2)"
+  truncate=once
+This will run operations as specified in both the example.yaml and
+example2.yaml files. example.yaml and example2.yaml can reference the
+same table, although care must be taken that the table definition is identical
+ (data generation specs can be different).
+
+=== Lightweight transaction support
+
+cassandra-stress supports lightweight transactions. 
+To use this feature, the command will first read current data from Cassandra, and then uses read values to
+fulfill lightweight transaction conditions.
+
+Lightweight transaction update query:
+
+[source,yaml]
+----
+queries:
+  regularupdate:
+      cql: update blogposts set author = ? where domain = ? and published_date = ?
+      fields: samerow
+  updatewithlwt:
+      cql: update blogposts set author = ? where domain = ? and published_date = ? IF body = ? AND url = ?
+      fields: samerow
+----
+
+The full example can be found here:
+[source, yaml]
+----
+include::example$YAML/stress-lwt-example.yaml[]
+----
+
+== Graphing
+
+Graphs can be generated for each run of stress.
+
+image::example-stress-graph.png[example cassandra-stress graph]
+
+To create a new graph:
+
+[source,yaml]
+----
+cassandra-stress user profile=./stress-example.yaml "ops(insert=1,latest_event=1,events=1)" -graph file=graph.html title="Awesome graph"
+----
+
+To add a new run to an existing graph point to an existing file and add
+a revision name:
+
+[source,yaml]
+----
+cassandra-stress user profile=./stress-example.yaml duration=1m "ops(insert=1,latest_event=1,events=1)" -graph file=graph.html title="Awesome graph" revision="Second run"
+----
+
+== FAQ
+
+*How do you use NetworkTopologyStrategy for the keyspace?*
+
+Use the schema option making sure to either escape the parenthesis or
+enclose in quotes:
+
+[source,yaml]
+----
+cassandra-stress write -schema "replication(strategy=NetworkTopologyStrategy,datacenter1=3)"
+----
+
+*How do you use SSL?*
+
+Use the transport option:
+
+[source,yaml]
+----
+cassandra-stress "write n=100k cl=ONE no-warmup" -transport "truststore=$HOME/jks/truststore.jks truststore-password=cassandra"
+----
+
+*Is Cassandra Stress a secured tool?*
+
+Cassandra stress is not a secured tool. Serialization and other aspects
+of the tool offer no security guarantees.

+= cqlsh: the CQL shell
+
+`cqlsh` is a command-line interface for interacting with Cassandra using CQL (the Cassandra Query Language). 
+It is shipped with every Cassandra package, and can be found in the bin/ directory alongside the cassandra
+executable. 
+`cqlsh` is implemented with the Python native protocol driver, and connects to the single specified node.
+
+== Compatibility
+
+`cqlsh` is compatible with Python 2.7.
+
+In general, a given version of `cqlsh` is only guaranteed to work with the
+version of Cassandra that it was released with. 
+In some cases, `cqlsh` may work with older or newer versions of Cassandra, but this is not
+officially supported.
+
+== Optional Dependencies
+
+`cqlsh` ships with all essential dependencies. However, there are some
+optional dependencies that can be installed to improve the capabilities
+of `cqlsh`.
+
+=== pytz
+
+By default, `cqlsh` displays all timestamps with a UTC timezone. 
+To support display of timestamps with another timezone, install
+the http://pytz.sourceforge.net/[pytz] library. 
+See the `timezone` option in xref:cql/tools/cqlsh.adoc#cqlshrc[cqlshrc] for specifying a timezone to
+use.
+
+=== cython
+
+The performance of cqlsh's `COPY` operations can be improved by
+installing http://cython.org/[cython]. This will compile the python
+modules that are central to the performance of `COPY`.
+
+[[cqlshrc]]
+== cqlshrc
+
+The `cqlshrc` file holds configuration options for `cqlsh`. 
+By default, the file is located the user's home directory at `~/.cassandra/cqlshrc`, but a
+custom location can be specified with the `--cqlshrc` option.
+
+Example config values and documentation can be found in the
+`conf/cqlshrc.sample` file of a tarball installation. 
+You can also view the latest version of the
+https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/conf/cqlshrc.sample[cqlshrc file online].
+
+[[cql_history]]
+== cql history
+
+All CQL commands you execute are written to a history file. By default, CQL history will be written to `~/.cassandra/cql_history`. You can change this default by setting the environment variable `CQL_HISTORY` like `~/some/other/path/to/cqlsh_history` where `cqlsh_history` is a file. All parent directories to history file will be created if they do not exist. If you do not want to persist history, you can do so by setting CQL_HISTORY to /dev/null.
+This feature is supported from Cassandra 4.1.
+
+== Command Line Options
+
+Usage: `cqlsh.py [options] [host [port]]`
+
+CQL Shell for Apache Cassandra
+
+Options:
+
+`--version`::
+  show program's version number and exit
+
+`-h` `--help`::
+  show this help message and exit
+`-C` `--color`::
+  Always use color output
+`--no-color`::
+  Never use color output
+`--browser=BROWSER`::
+  The browser to use to display CQL help, where BROWSER can be:
+  one of the supported browsers in https://docs.python.org/3/library/webbrowser.html.
+  browser path followed by %s, example: /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable %s
+`--ssl`::
+  Use SSL
+
+`-u USERNAME` `--username=USERNAME`::
+  Authenticate as user.
+`-p PASSWORD` `--password=PASSWORD`::
+  Authenticate using password.
+`-k KEYSPACE` `--keyspace=KEYSPACE`::
+  Authenticate to the given keyspace.
+`-f FILE` `--file=FILE`::
+  Execute commands from FILE, then exit
+`--debug`::
+  Show additional debugging information
+`--coverage`::
+  Collect coverage data
+`--encoding=ENCODING`::
+  Specify a non-default encoding for output. (Default: utf-8)
+`--cqlshrc=CQLSHRC`::
+  Specify an alternative cqlshrc file location.
+`--credentials=CREDENTIALS`::
+  Specify an alternative credentials file location.
+`--cqlversion=CQLVERSION`::
+  Specify a particular CQL version, by default the
+  highest version supported by the server will be used.
+  Examples: "3.0.3", "3.1.0"
+`--protocol-version=PROTOCOL_VERSION`::
+  Specify a specific protcol version otherwise the
+  client will default and downgrade as necessary
+`-e EXECUTE` `--execute=EXECUTE`::
+  Execute the statement and quit.
+`--connect-timeout=CONNECT_TIMEOUT`::
+  Specify the connection timeout in seconds (default: 5 seconds).
+`--request-timeout=REQUEST_TIMEOUT`::
+  Specify the default request timeout in seconds
+  (default: 10 seconds).
+`-t, --tty`::
+  Force tty mode (command prompt).
+`-v` `--v`::
+  Print the current version of cqlsh.
+
+== Special Commands
+
+In addition to supporting regular CQL statements, `cqlsh` also supports a
+number of special commands that are not part of CQL. These are detailed
+below.
+
+=== `CONSISTENCY`
+
+`Usage`: `CONSISTENCY <consistency level>`
+
+Sets the consistency level for operations to follow. Valid arguments
+include:
+
+* `ANY`
+* `ONE`
+* `TWO`
+* `THREE`
+* `QUORUM`
+* `ALL`
+* `LOCAL_QUORUM`
+* `LOCAL_ONE`
+* `SERIAL`
+* `LOCAL_SERIAL`
+
+=== `SERIAL CONSISTENCY`
+
+`Usage`: `SERIAL CONSISTENCY <consistency level>`
+
+Sets the serial consistency level for operations to follow. Valid
+arguments include:
+
+* `SERIAL`
+* `LOCAL_SERIAL`
+
+The serial consistency level is only used by conditional updates
+(`INSERT`, `UPDATE` and `DELETE` with an `IF` condition). For those, the
+serial consistency level defines the consistency level of the serial
+phase (or “paxos” phase) while the normal consistency level defines the
+consistency for the “learn” phase, i.e. what type of reads will be
+guaranteed to see the update right away. For example, if a conditional
+write has a consistency level of `QUORUM` (and is successful), then a
+`QUORUM` read is guaranteed to see that write. But if the regular
+consistency level of that write is `ANY`, then only a read with a
+consistency level of `SERIAL` is guaranteed to see it (even a read with
+consistency `ALL` is not guaranteed to be enough).
+
+=== `SHOW VERSION`
+
+Prints the `cqlsh`, Cassandra, CQL, and native protocol versions in use.
+Example:
+
+[source,none]
+----
+cqlsh> SHOW VERSION
+[cqlsh 5.0.1 | Cassandra 3.8 | CQL spec 3.4.2 | Native protocol v4]
+----
+
+=== `SHOW HOST`
+
+Prints the IP address and port of the Cassandra node that `cqlsh` is
+connected to in addition to the cluster name. Example:
+
+[source,none]
+----
+cqlsh> SHOW HOST
+Connected to Prod_Cluster at 192.0.0.1:9042.
+----
+
+=== `SHOW REPLICAS`
+
+Prints the IP addresses of the Cassandra nodes which are replicas for the
+listed given token and keyspace. This command is available from Cassandra 4.2.
+
+`Usage`: `SHOW REPLICAS <token> (<keyspace>)`
+
+Example usage:
+
+[source,none]
+----
+cqlsh> SHOW REPLICAS 95
+['192.0.0.1', '192.0.0.2']
+----
+
+=== `SHOW SESSION`
+
+Pretty prints a specific tracing session.
+
+`Usage`: `SHOW SESSION <session id>`
+
+Example usage:
+
+[source,none]
+----
+cqlsh> SHOW SESSION 95ac6470-327e-11e6-beca-dfb660d92ad8
+
+Tracing session: 95ac6470-327e-11e6-beca-dfb660d92ad8
+
+ activity                                                  | timestamp                  | source    | source_elapsed | client

+ Parsing SELECT * FROM system.local; [SharedPool-Worker-1] | 2016-06-14 17:23:13.982000 | 127.0.0.1 |           3843 | 127.0.0.1
+...
+----
+
+=== `SOURCE`
+
+Reads the contents of a file and executes each line as a CQL statement
+or special cqlsh command.
+
+`Usage`: `SOURCE <string filename>`
+
+Example usage:
+
+[source,none]
+----
+cqlsh> SOURCE '/home/calvinhobbs/commands.cql'
+----
+
+=== `CAPTURE`
+
+Begins capturing command output and appending it to a specified file.
+Output will not be shown at the console while it is captured.
+
+`Usage`:
+
+[source,none]
+----
+CAPTURE '<file>';
+CAPTURE OFF;
+CAPTURE;
+----
+
+That is, the path to the file to be appended to must be given inside a
+string literal. The path is interpreted relative to the current working
+directory. The tilde shorthand notation (`'~/mydir'`) is supported for
+referring to `$HOME`.
+
+Only query result output is captured. Errors and output from cqlsh-only
+commands will still be shown in the cqlsh session.
+
+To stop capturing output and show it in the cqlsh session again, use
+`CAPTURE OFF`.
+
+To inspect the current capture configuration, use `CAPTURE` with no
+arguments.
+
+=== `HELP`
+
+Gives information about cqlsh commands. To see available topics, enter
+`HELP` without any arguments. To see help on a topic, use
+`HELP <topic>`. Also see the `--browser` argument for controlling what
+browser is used to display help.
+
+=== `HISTORY`
+
+Prints to the screen the last `n` cqlsh commands executed on the server.
+The number of lines defaults to 50 if not specified. `n` is set for
+the current CQL session so if you set it e.g. to `10`, from that point
+there will be at most 10 last commands returned to you.
+
+`Usage`:
+
+[source,none]
+----
+HISTORY <n>
+----
+
+=== `TRACING`
+
+Enables or disables tracing for queries. When tracing is enabled, once a
+query completes, a trace of the events during the query will be printed.
+
+`Usage`:
+
+[source,none]
+----
+TRACING ON
+TRACING OFF
+----
+
+=== `PAGING`
+
+Enables paging, disables paging, or sets the page size for read queries.
+When paging is enabled, only one page of data will be fetched at a time
+and a prompt will appear to fetch the next page. Generally, it's a good
+idea to leave paging enabled in an interactive session to avoid fetching
+and printing large amounts of data at once.
+
+`Usage`:
+
+[source,none]
+----
+PAGING ON
+PAGING OFF
+PAGING <page size in rows>
+----
+
+=== `EXPAND`
+
+Enables or disables vertical printing of rows. Enabling `EXPAND` is
+useful when many columns are fetched, or the contents of a single column
+are large.
+
+`Usage`:
+
+[source,none]
+----
+EXPAND ON
+EXPAND OFF
+----
+
+=== `LOGIN`
+
+Authenticate as a specified Cassandra user for the current session.
+
+`Usage`:
+
+[source,none]
+----
+LOGIN <username> [<password>]
+----
+
+=== `EXIT`
+
+Ends the current session and terminates the cqlsh process.
+
+`Usage`:
+
+[source,none]
+----
+EXIT
+QUIT
+----
+
+=== `CLEAR`
+
+Clears the console.
+
+`Usage`:
+
+[source,none]
+----
+CLEAR
+CLS
+----
+
+=== `DESCRIBE`
+
+Prints a description (typically a series of DDL statements) of a schema
+element or the cluster. This is useful for dumping all or portions of
+the schema.
+
+`Usage`:
+
+[source,none]
+----
+DESCRIBE CLUSTER
+DESCRIBE SCHEMA
+DESCRIBE KEYSPACES
+DESCRIBE KEYSPACE <keyspace name>
+DESCRIBE TABLES
+DESCRIBE TABLE <table name>
+DESCRIBE INDEX <index name>
+DESCRIBE MATERIALIZED VIEW <view name>
+DESCRIBE TYPES
+DESCRIBE TYPE <type name>
+DESCRIBE FUNCTIONS
+DESCRIBE FUNCTION <function name>
+DESCRIBE AGGREGATES
+DESCRIBE AGGREGATE <aggregate function name>
+----
+
+In any of the commands, `DESC` may be used in place of `DESCRIBE`.
+
+The `DESCRIBE CLUSTER` command prints the cluster name and partitioner:
+
+[source,none]
+----
+cqlsh> DESCRIBE CLUSTER
+
+Cluster: Test Cluster
+Partitioner: Murmur3Partitioner
+----
+
+The `DESCRIBE SCHEMA` command prints the DDL statements needed to
+recreate the entire schema. This is especially useful for dumping the
+schema in order to clone a cluster or restore from a backup.
+
+=== `COPY TO`
+
+Copies data from a table to a CSV file.
+
+`Usage`:
+
+[source,none]
+----
+COPY <table name> [(<column>, ...)] TO <file name> WITH <copy option> [AND <copy option> ...]
+----
+
+If no columns are specified, all columns from the table will be copied
+to the CSV file. A subset of columns to copy may be specified by adding
+a comma-separated list of column names surrounded by parenthesis after
+the table name.
+
+The `<file name>` should be a string literal (with single quotes)
+representing a path to the destination file. This can also the special
+value `STDOUT` (without single quotes) to print the CSV to stdout.
+
+See `shared-copy-options` for options that apply to both `COPY TO` and
+`COPY FROM`.
+
+==== Options for `COPY TO`
+
+`MAXREQUESTS`::
+  The maximum number token ranges to fetch simultaneously. Defaults to
+  6.
+`PAGESIZE`::
+  The number of rows to fetch in a single page. Defaults to 1000.
+`PAGETIMEOUT`::
+  By default the page timeout is 10 seconds per 1000 entries in the page
+  size or 10 seconds if pagesize is smaller.
+`BEGINTOKEN`, `ENDTOKEN`::
+  Token range to export. Defaults to exporting the full ring.
+`MAXOUTPUTSIZE`::
+  The maximum size of the output file measured in number of lines;
+  beyond this maximum the output file will be split into segments. -1
+  means unlimited, and is the default.
+`ENCODING`::
+  The encoding used for characters. Defaults to `utf8`.
+
+=== `COPY FROM`
+
+Copies data from a CSV file to table.
+
+`Usage`:
+
+[source,none]
+----
+COPY <table name> [(<column>, ...)] FROM <file name> WITH <copy option> [AND <copy option> ...]
+----
+
+If no columns are specified, all columns from the CSV file will be
+copied to the table. A subset of columns to copy may be specified by
+adding a comma-separated list of column names surrounded by parenthesis
+after the table name.
+
+The `<file name>` should be a string literal (with single quotes)
+representing a path to the source file. This can also the special value
+`STDIN` (without single quotes) to read the CSV data from stdin.
+
+See `shared-copy-options` for options that apply to both `COPY TO` and
+`COPY FROM`.
+
+==== Options for `COPY FROM`
+
+`INGESTRATE`::
+  The maximum number of rows to process per second. Defaults to 100000.
+`MAXROWS`::
+  The maximum number of rows to import. -1 means unlimited, and is the
+  default.
+`SKIPROWS`::
+  A number of initial rows to skip. Defaults to 0.
+`SKIPCOLS`::
+  A comma-separated list of column names to ignore. By default, no
+  columns are skipped.
+`MAXPARSEERRORS`::
+  The maximum global number of parsing errors to ignore. -1 means
+  unlimited, and is the default.
+`MAXINSERTERRORS`::
+  The maximum global number of insert errors to ignore. -1 means
+  unlimited. The default is 1000.
+`ERRFILE` =::
+  A file to store all rows that could not be imported, by default this
+  is `import_<ks>_<table>.err` where `<ks>` is your keyspace and
+  `<table>` is your table name.
+`MAXBATCHSIZE`::
+  The max number of rows inserted in a single batch. Defaults to 20.
+`MINBATCHSIZE`::
+  The min number of rows inserted in a single batch. Defaults to 10.
+`CHUNKSIZE`::
+  The number of rows that are passed to child worker processes from the
+  main process at a time. Defaults to 5000.
+
+==== Shared COPY Options
+
+Options that are common to both `COPY TO` and `COPY FROM`.
+
+`NULLVAL`::
+  The string placeholder for null values. Defaults to `null`.
+`HEADER`::
+  For `COPY TO`, controls whether the first line in the CSV output file
+  will contain the column names. For COPY FROM, specifies whether the
+  first line in the CSV input file contains column names. Defaults to
+  `false`.
+`DECIMALSEP`::
+  The character that is used as the decimal point separator. Defaults to
+  `.`.
+`THOUSANDSSEP`::
+  The character that is used to separate thousands. Defaults to the
+  empty string.
+`BOOLSTYlE`::
+  The string literal format for boolean values. Defaults to
+  `True,False`.
+`NUMPROCESSES`::
+  The number of child worker processes to create for `COPY` tasks.
+  Defaults to 16 for `COPY` tasks. However, at most (num_cores - 1)
+  processes will be created.
+`MAXATTEMPTS`::
+  The maximum number of failed attempts to fetch a range of data (when
+  using `COPY TO`) or insert a chunk of data (when using `COPY FROM`)
+  before giving up. Defaults to 5.
+`REPORTFREQUENCY`::
+  How often status updates are refreshed, in seconds. Defaults to 0.25.
+`RATEFILE`::
+  An optional file to output rate statistics to. By default, statistics
+  are not output to a file.
+
+== Escaping Quotes
+
+Dates, IP addresses, and strings need to be enclosed in single quotation marks. To use a single quotation mark itself in a string literal, escape it using a single quotation mark.
+
+When fetching simple text data, `cqlsh` will return an unquoted string. However, when fetching text data from complex types (collections, user-defined types, etc.) `cqlsh` will return a quoted string containing the escaped characters. For example:
+
+Simple data
+[source,none]
+----
+cqlsh> CREATE TABLE test.simple_data (id int, data text, PRIMARY KEY (id));
+cqlsh> INSERT INTO test.simple_data (id, data) values(1, 'I''m fine');
+cqlsh> SELECT data from test.simple_data; data
+----------
+ I'm fine
+----
+Complex data
+[source,none]
+----
+cqlsh> CREATE TABLE test.complex_data (id int, data map<int, text>, PRIMARY KEY (id));
+cqlsh> INSERT INTO test.complex_data (id, data) values(1, {1:'I''m fine'});
+cqlsh> SELECT data from test.complex_data; data
+------------------
+ {1: 'I''m fine'}

+compaction process using this new configuration.
+
+See

+
+== Usage
+
+sstablelevelreset --really-reset <keyspace> <table>
+
+The really-reset flag is required, to ensure this intrusive command is
+not run accidentally.
+
+== Table not found
+
+If the keyspace and/or table is not in the schema (e.g., if you
+misspelled the table name), the script will return an error.
+
+Example:
+
+....
+ColumnFamily not found: keyspace/evenlog.
+....
+
+== Table has no sstables
+
+Example:
+
+....
+Found no sstables, did you give the correct keyspace/table?
+....
+
+== Table already at level 0
+
+The script will not set the level if it is already set to 0.
+
+Example:
+
+....
+Skipped /var/lib/cassandra/data/keyspace/eventlog-65c429e08c5a11e8939edf4f403979ef/mc-1-big-Data.db since it is already on level 0
+....
+
+== Table levels reduced to 0
+
+If the level is not already 0, then this will reset it to 0.
+
+Example:
+
+....
+sstablemetadata /var/lib/cassandra/data/keyspace/eventlog-6365332094dd11e88f324f9c503e4753/mc-8-big-Data.db | grep -i level
+SSTable Level: 1
+
+sstablelevelreset --really-reset keyspace eventlog
+Changing level from 1 to 0 on /var/lib/cassandra/data/keyspace/eventlog-6365332094dd11e88f324f9c503e4753/mc-8-big-Data.db
+
+sstablemetadata /var/lib/cassandra/data/keyspace/eventlog-6365332094dd11e88f324f9c503e4753/mc-8-big-Data.db | grep -i level

+= sstablepartitions
+
+Identifies large partitions of SSTables and outputs the partition size in bytes, row count, cell count, and tombstone count.
+
+You can supply any number of sstables file paths, or directories containing sstables. Each sstable will be analyzed separately.
+
+If a metrics threshold such as `--min-size`, `--min-rows`, `--min-cells` or `--min-tombstones` is provided,
+then the partition keys exceeding of the threshold will be printed in the output.
+It also prints a summary of metrics for the table. The percentiles in the metrics are estimates,
+while the min/max/count metrics are accurate.
+
+The default output of this tool is meant to be read by human eyes.
+Future versions might include small formatting changes or present new data that can fool scripts reading it.
+Scripts or other automatic tools should use the `--csv` flag to produce machine-readable output.
+Future versions will not change the format of the CSV output except for maybe adding new columns,
+so a proper CSV parser consuming the output should keep working.
+
+Cassandra doesn't need to be running before this tool is executed.
+
+== Usage

+= Virtual Tables
+
+Apache Cassandra 4.0 implements virtual tables (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7622[CASSANDRA-7622]).
+Virtual tables are tables backed by an API instead of data explicitly managed and stored as SSTables. 
+Apache Cassandra 4.0 implements a virtual keyspace interface for virtual tables. 
+Virtual tables are specific to each node.
+
+Some of the features of virtual tables are the ability to:
+
+* expose metrics through CQL
+* expose YAML configuration information
+
+Virtual keyspaces and tables are quite different from regular tables and keyspaces:
+
+* Virtual tables are created in special keyspaces and not just any keyspace.
+* Virtual tables are managed by Cassandra. Users cannot run DDL to create new virtual tables or DML to modify existing virtual tables.
+* Virtual tables are currently read-only, although that may change in a later version.
+* Virtual tables are local only, non-distributed, and thus not replicated.
+* Virtual tables have no associated SSTables.
+* Consistency level of the queries sent to virtual tables are ignored.
+* All existing virtual tables use `LocalPartitioner`. 
+Since a virtual table is not replicated the partitioner sorts in order of partition keys instead of by their hash.
+* Making advanced queries using `ALLOW FILTERING` and aggregation functions can be executed in virtual tables, even though in normal tables we dont recommend it.
+
+== Virtual Keyspaces
+
+Apache Cassandra 4.0 has added two new keyspaces for virtual tables:
+
+* `system_virtual_schema` 
+* `system_views`. 
+
+The `system_virtual_schema` keyspace has three tables: `keyspaces`,
+`columns` and `tables` for the virtual keyspace, table, and column definitions, respectively.
+These tables contain schema information for the virtual tables.
+It is used by Cassandra internally and a user should not access it directly.
+
+The `system_views` keyspace contains the actual virtual tables.
+
+== Virtual Table Limitations
+
+Before disccusing virtual keyspaces and tables, note that virtual keyspaces and tables have some limitations. 
+These limitations are subject to change.
+Virtual keyspaces cannot be altered or dropped. 
+In fact, no operations can be performed against virtual keyspaces.
+
+Virtual tables cannot be created in virtual keyspaces.
+Virtual tables cannot be altered, dropped, or truncated.
+Secondary indexes, types, functions, aggregates, materialized views, and triggers cannot be created for virtual tables.
+Expiring time-to-live (TTL) columns cannot be created.
+Virtual tables do not support conditional updates or deletes.
+Aggregates may be run in SELECT statements.
+
+Conditional batch statements cannot include mutations for virtual tables, nor can a virtual table statement be included in a logged batch.
+In fact, mutations for virtual and regular tables cannot occur in the same batch table.
+
+== Virtual Tables
+
+Each of the virtual tables in the `system_views` virtual keyspace contain different information.
+
+The following table describes the virtual tables: 
+
+[width="98%",cols="27%,73%",]
+|===
+|Virtual Table |Description
+
+|caches |Displays the general cache information including cache name, capacity_bytes, entry_count, hit_count, hit_ratio double,

+
+|coordinator_write_latency |Records counts, keyspace_name, table_name, max, median, and per_second for coordinator writes.

+We shall discuss some of the virtual tables in more detail next.
+
+=== Clients Virtual Table
+
+The `clients` virtual table lists all active connections (connected
+clients) including their ip address, port, client_options, connection stage, driver
+name, driver version, hostname, protocol version, request count, ssl
+enabled, ssl protocol and user name:

+(4 rows)
+....
+
+Some examples of how `clients` can be used are:
+
+* To find applications using old incompatible versions of drivers before
+upgrading and with `nodetool enableoldprotocolversions` and
+`nodetool disableoldprotocolversions` during upgrades.
+* To identify clients sending too many requests.
+* To find if SSL is enabled during the migration to and from ssl.
+* To identify all options the client is sending, e.g. APPLICATION_NAME and APPLICATION_VERSION
+
+The virtual tables may be described with `DESCRIBE` statement. The DDL
+listed however cannot be run to create a virtual table. As an example
+describe the `system_views.clients` virtual table:
+
+....
+cqlsh> DESCRIBE TABLE system_views.clients;
+
+/*
+Warning: Table system_views.clients is a virtual table and cannot be recreated with CQL.
+Structure, for reference:
+VIRTUAL TABLE system_views.clients (
+    address inet,
+    port int,
+    client_options frozen<map<text, text>>,
+    connection_stage text,
+    driver_name text,
+    driver_version text,
+    hostname text,
+    protocol_version int,
+    request_count bigint,
+    ssl_cipher_suite text,
+    ssl_enabled boolean,
+    ssl_protocol text,
+    username text,
+    PRIMARY KEY (address, port)
+) WITH CLUSTERING ORDER BY (port ASC)
+    AND comment = 'currently connected clients';
+*/
+....
+
+=== Caches Virtual Table
+
+The `caches` virtual table lists information about the caches. The four
+caches presently created are chunks, counters, keys and rows. A query on
+the `caches` virtual table returns the following details:
+
+....
+cqlsh:system_views> SELECT * FROM system_views.caches;
+name     | capacity_bytes | entry_count | hit_count | hit_ratio | recent_hit_rate_per_second | recent_request_rate_per_second | request_count | size_bytes

+  chunks |      229638144 |          29 |       166 |      0.83 |                          5 |                              6 |           200 |     475136
+counters |       26214400 |           0 |         0 |       NaN |                          0 |                              0 |             0 |          0
+    keys |       52428800 |          14 |       124 |  0.873239 |                          4 |                              4 |           142 |       1248
+    rows |              0 |           0 |         0 |       NaN |                          0 |                              0 |             0 |          0
+
+(4 rows)
+....
+
+=== CQL metrics Virtual Table
+The `cql_metrics` virtual table lists metrics specific to CQL prepared statement caching. A query on `cql_metrics` virtual table lists below metrics.
+
+....
+cqlsh> select * from system_views.cql_metrics ;
+
+ name                         | value
+------------------------------+-------
+    prepared_statements_count |     0
+  prepared_statements_evicted |     0
+ prepared_statements_executed |     0
+    prepared_statements_ratio |     0
+  regular_statements_executed |    17
+....
+
+=== Settings Virtual Table
+
+The `settings` table is rather useful and lists all the current
+configuration settings from the `cassandra.yaml`. The encryption options
+are overridden to hide the sensitive truststore information or
+passwords. The configuration settings however cannot be set using DML on
+the virtual table presently: :
+
+....
+cqlsh:system_views> SELECT * FROM system_views.settings;
+
+name                                 | value
+-------------------------------------+--------------------
+  allocate_tokens_for_keyspace       | null
+  audit_logging_options_enabled      | false
+  auto_snapshot                      | true
+  automatic_sstable_upgrade          | false
+  cluster_name                       | Test Cluster
+  transient_replication_enabled      | false
+  hinted_handoff_enabled             | true
+  hints_directory                    | /home/ec2-user/cassandra/data/hints
+  incremental_backups                | false
+  initial_token                      | null
+                           ...
+                           ...
+                           ...
+  rpc_address                        | localhost
+  ssl_storage_port                   | 7001
+  start_native_transport             | true
+  storage_port                       | 7000
+  stream_entire_sstables             | true
+  (224 rows)
+....
+
+The `settings` table can be really useful if yaml file has been changed
+since startup and dont know running configuration, or to find if they
+have been modified via jmx/nodetool or virtual tables.
+
+=== Thread Pools Virtual Table
+
+The `thread_pools` table lists information about all thread pools.
+Thread pool information includes active tasks, active tasks limit,
+blocked tasks, blocked tasks all time, completed tasks, and pending
+tasks. A query on the `thread_pools` returns following details:
+
+....
+cqlsh:system_views> select * from system_views.thread_pools;
+
+name                         | active_tasks | active_tasks_limit | blocked_tasks | blocked_tasks_all_time | completed_tasks | pending_tasks

+
+=== Internode Inbound Messaging Virtual Table
+
+The `internode_inbound` virtual table is for the internode inbound
+messaging. Initially no internode inbound messaging may get listed. In
+addition to the address, port, datacenter and rack information includes
+corrupt frames recovered, corrupt frames unrecovered, error bytes, error
+count, expired bytes, expired count, processed bytes, processed count,
+received bytes, received count, scheduled bytes, scheduled count,
+throttled count, throttled nanos, using bytes, using reserve bytes. A
+query on the `internode_inbound` returns following details:
+
+....
+cqlsh:system_views> SELECT * FROM system_views.internode_inbound;
+address | port | dc | rack | corrupt_frames_recovered | corrupt_frames_unrecovered |
+error_bytes | error_count | expired_bytes | expired_count | processed_bytes |
+processed_count | received_bytes | received_count | scheduled_bytes | scheduled_count | throttled_count | throttled_nanos | using_bytes | using_reserve_bytes
+---------+------+----+------+--------------------------+----------------------------+-
+----------
+(0 rows)
+....
+
+=== SSTables Tasks Virtual Table
+
+The `sstable_tasks` could be used to get information about running
+tasks. It lists following columns:
+
+....
+cqlsh:system_views> SELECT * FROM sstable_tasks;
+keyspace_name | table_name | task_id                              | kind       | progress | total    | unit
+---------------+------------+--------------------------------------+------------+----------+----------+-------
+       basic |      wide2 | c3909740-cdf7-11e9-a8ed-0f03de2d9ae1 | compaction | 60418761 | 70882110 | bytes
+       basic |      wide2 | c7556770-cdf7-11e9-a8ed-0f03de2d9ae1 | compaction |  2995623 | 40314679 | bytes
+....
+
+As another example, to find how much time is remaining for SSTable
+tasks, use the following query:
+
+....
+SELECT total - progress AS remaining
+FROM system_views.sstable_tasks;
+....
+
+=== Gossip Information Virtual Table
+
+The `gossip_info` virtual table lists the Gossip information for the cluster. An example query is as follows:
+
+....
+cqlsh> select address, port, generation, heartbeat, load, dc, rack from system_views.gossip_info;
+
+ address   | port | generation | heartbeat | load    | dc          | rack

+ 127.0.0.2 | 7000 | 1645575135 |       318 | 70499.0 | datacenter1 | rack1
+ 127.0.0.3 | 7000 | 1645575140 |       312 | 70504.0 | datacenter1 | rack1
+ 127.0.0.4 | 7000 | 1645575141 |       311 | 70502.0 | datacenter1 | rack1
+ 127.0.0.5 | 7000 | 1645575136 |       315 | 70500.0 | datacenter1 | rack1
+
+(5 rows)
+....
+
+=== Other Virtual Tables
+
+Some examples of using other virtual tables are as follows.
+
+Find tables with most disk usage:
+
+....
+cqlsh> SELECT * FROM disk_usage WHERE mebibytes > 1 ALLOW FILTERING;
+
+keyspace_name | table_name | mebibytes
+---------------+------------+-----------
+   keyspace1 |  standard1 |       288
+  tlp_stress |   keyvalue |      3211
+....
+
+Find queries on table/s with greatest read latency:
+
+....
+cqlsh> SELECT * FROM  local_read_latency WHERE per_second > 1 ALLOW FILTERING;
+
+keyspace_name | table_name | p50th_ms | p99th_ms | count    | max_ms  | per_second
+---------------+------------+----------+----------+----------+---------+------------
+  tlp_stress |   keyvalue |    0.043 |    0.152 | 49785158 | 186.563 |  11418.356

-= Virtual Tables
-
-Apache Cassandra 4.0 implements virtual tables (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7622[CASSANDRA-7622]).
-Virtual tables are tables backed by an API instead of data explicitly managed and stored as SSTables. 
-Apache Cassandra 4.0 implements a virtual keyspace interface for virtual tables. 
-Virtual tables are specific to each node.
-
-Some of the features of virtual tables are the ability to:
-
-* expose metrics through CQL
-* expose YAML configuration information
-
-Virtual keyspaces and tables are quite different from regular tables and keyspaces:
-
-* Virtual tables are created in special keyspaces and not just any keyspace.
-* Virtual tables are managed by Cassandra. Users cannot run DDL to create new virtual tables or DML to modify existing virtual tables.
-* Virtual tables are currently read-only, although that may change in a later version.
-* Virtual tables are local only, non-distributed, and thus not replicated.
-* Virtual tables have no associated SSTables.
-* Consistency level of the queries sent to virtual tables are ignored.
-* All existing virtual tables use `LocalPartitioner`. 
-Since a virtual table is not replicated the partitioner sorts in order of partition keys instead of by their hash.
-* Making advanced queries using `ALLOW FILTERING` and aggregation functions can be executed in virtual tables, even though in normal tables we dont recommend it.
-
-== Virtual Keyspaces
-
-Apache Cassandra 4.0 has added two new keyspaces for virtual tables:
-
-* `system_virtual_schema` 
-* `system_views`. 
-
-The `system_virtual_schema` keyspace has three tables: `keyspaces`,
-`columns` and `tables` for the virtual keyspace, table, and column definitions, respectively.
-These tables contain schema information for the virtual tables.
-It is used by Cassandra internally and a user should not access it directly.
-
-The `system_views` keyspace contains the actual virtual tables.
-
-== Virtual Table Limitations
-
-Before disccusing virtual keyspaces and tables, note that virtual keyspaces and tables have some limitations. 
-These limitations are subject to change.
-Virtual keyspaces cannot be altered or dropped. 
-In fact, no operations can be performed against virtual keyspaces.
-
-Virtual tables cannot be created in virtual keyspaces.
-Virtual tables cannot be altered, dropped, or truncated.
-Secondary indexes, types, functions, aggregates, materialized views, and triggers cannot be created for virtual tables.
-Expiring time-to-live (TTL) columns cannot be created.
-Virtual tables do not support conditional updates or deletes.
-Aggregates may be run in SELECT statements.
-
-Conditional batch statements cannot include mutations for virtual tables, nor can a virtual table statement be included in a logged batch.
-In fact, mutations for virtual and regular tables cannot occur in the same batch table.
-
-== Virtual Tables
-
-Each of the virtual tables in the `system_views` virtual keyspace contain different information.
-
-The following table describes the virtual tables: 
-
-[width="98%",cols="27%,73%",]
-|===
-|Virtual Table |Description
-
-|caches |Displays the general cache information including cache name, capacity_bytes, entry_count, hit_count, hit_ratio double,
-recent_hit_rate_per_second, recent_request_rate_per_second, request_count, and size_bytes.
-
-|clients |Lists information about all connected clients.
-
-|coordinator_read_latency |Records counts, keyspace_name, table_name, max, median, and per_second for coordinator reads.
-
-|coordinator_scan |Records counts, keyspace_name, table_name, max, median, and per_second for coordinator scans.
-
-|coordinator_write_latency |Records counts, keyspace_name, table_name, max, median, and per_second for coordinator writes.
-
-|cql_metrics |Metrics specific to CQL prepared statement caching.
-
-|disk_usage |Records disk usage including disk_space, keyspace_name, and table_name, sorted by system keyspaces.
-
-|gossip_info |Lists the gossip information for the cluster.
-
-|internode_inbound |Lists information about the inbound internode messaging.
-
-|internode_outbound |Information about the outbound internode messaging.
-
-|local_read_latency |Records counts, keyspace_name, table_name, max, median, and per_second for local reads.
-
-|local_scan |Records counts, keyspace_name, table_name, max, median, and per_second for local scans.
-
-|local_write_latency |Records counts, keyspace_name, table_name, max, median, and per_second for local writes.
-
-|max_partition_size |A table metric for maximum partition size.
-
-|rows_per_read |Records counts, keyspace_name, tablek_name, max, and median for rows read.
-
-|settings |Displays configuration settings in cassandra.yaml.
-
-|sstable_tasks |Lists currently running tasks and progress on SSTables, for operations like compaction and upgrade.
-
-|system_properties |Displays environmental system properties set on the node.
-
-|thread_pools |Lists metrics for each thread pool.
-
-|tombstones_per_read |Records counts, keyspace_name, tablek_name, max, and median for tombstones.
-
-|===
-
-We shall discuss some of the virtual tables in more detail next.
-
-=== Clients Virtual Table
-
-The `clients` virtual table lists all active connections (connected
-clients) including their ip address, port, client_options, connection stage, driver
-name, driver version, hostname, protocol version, request count, ssl
-enabled, ssl protocol and user name:

-Some examples of how `clients` can be used are:
-
-* To find applications using old incompatible versions of drivers before
-upgrading and with `nodetool enableoldprotocolversions` and
-`nodetool disableoldprotocolversions` during upgrades.
-* To identify clients sending too many requests.
-* To find if SSL is enabled during the migration to and from ssl.
-* To identify all options the client is sending, e.g. APPLICATION_NAME and APPLICATION_VERSION
-
-The virtual tables may be described with `DESCRIBE` statement. The DDL
-listed however cannot be run to create a virtual table. As an example
-describe the `system_views.clients` virtual table:
-
-....
-cqlsh> DESCRIBE TABLE system_views.clients;
-
-/*
-Warning: Table system_views.clients is a virtual table and cannot be recreated with CQL.
-Structure, for reference:
-VIRTUAL TABLE system_views.clients (

-=== Caches Virtual Table
-
-The `caches` virtual table lists information about the caches. The four
-caches presently created are chunks, counters, keys and rows. A query on
-the `caches` virtual table returns the following details:
-
-....
-cqlsh:system_views> SELECT * FROM system_views.caches;
-name     | capacity_bytes | entry_count | hit_count | hit_ratio | recent_hit_rate_per_second | recent_request_rate_per_second | request_count | size_bytes

-=== CQL metrics Virtual Table
-The `cql_metrics` virtual table lists metrics specific to CQL prepared statement caching. A query on `cql_metrics` virtual table lists below metrics.
-
-....
-cqlsh> select * from system_views.cql_metrics ;
-
- name                         | value
-------------------------------+-------

- prepared_statements_executed |     0
-    prepared_statements_ratio |     0
-  regular_statements_executed |    17
-....
-
-=== Settings Virtual Table
-
-The `settings` table is rather useful and lists all the current
-configuration settings from the `cassandra.yaml`. The encryption options
-are overridden to hide the sensitive truststore information or
-passwords. The configuration settings however cannot be set using DML on
-the virtual table presently: :
-
-....
-cqlsh:system_views> SELECT * FROM system_views.settings;
-
-name                                 | value
--------------------------------------+--------------------

-  start_native_transport             | true
-  storage_port                       | 7000
-  stream_entire_sstables             | true
-  (224 rows)
-....
-
-The `settings` table can be really useful if yaml file has been changed
-since startup and dont know running configuration, or to find if they
-have been modified via jmx/nodetool or virtual tables.
-
-=== Thread Pools Virtual Table
-
-The `thread_pools` table lists information about all thread pools.
-Thread pool information includes active tasks, active tasks limit,
-blocked tasks, blocked tasks all time, completed tasks, and pending
-tasks. A query on the `thread_pools` returns following details:
-
-....
-cqlsh:system_views> select * from system_views.thread_pools;
-
-name                         | active_tasks | active_tasks_limit | blocked_tasks | blocked_tasks_all_time | completed_tasks | pending_tasks

-=== Other Virtual Tables
-
-Some examples of using other virtual tables are as follows.
-
-Find tables with most disk usage:
-
-....
-cqlsh> SELECT * FROM disk_usage WHERE mebibytes > 1 ALLOW FILTERING;
-
-keyspace_name | table_name | mebibytes
----------------+------------+-----------
-   keyspace1 |  standard1 |       288

-Find queries on table/s with greatest read latency:
-
-....
-cqlsh> SELECT * FROM  local_read_latency WHERE per_second > 1 ALLOW FILTERING;
-
-keyspace_name | table_name | p50th_ms | p99th_ms | count    | max_ms  | per_second

-= Audit Logging
-
-Audit Logging is a new feature in Apache Cassandra 4.0 (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12151[CASSANDRA-12151]).
-This new feature is safe for production use, with configurable limits to heap memory and disk space to prevent out-of-memory errors.
-All database activity is logged per-node as file-based records to a specified local filesystem directory. 
-The audit log files are rolled periodically based on a configurable value. 
-
-Some of the features of audit logging are:
-
-* No additional database capacity is needed to store audit logs.
-* No query tool is required to store the audit logs.
-* Latency of database operations is not affected, so there is no performance impact.
-* Heap memory usage is bounded by a weighted queue, with configurable maximum weight sitting in front of logging thread.
-* Disk utilization is bounded by a configurable size, deleting old log segments once the limit is reached.
-* Can be enabled, disabled, or reset (to delete on-disk data) using the JMX tool, ``nodetool``.
-* Can configure the settings in either the `cassandra.yaml` file or by using ``nodetool``.
-
-Audit logging includes all CQL requests, both successful and failed. 
-It also captures all successful and failed authentication and authorization events, such as login attempts. 
-The difference between Full Query Logging (FQL) and audit logging is that FQL captures only successful CQL requests, which allow replay or comparison of logs.
-Audit logs are useful for compliance and debugging, while FQL is useful for debugging, performance benchmarking, testing and auditing CQL queries.
-
-== Audit information logged
-
-The audit log contains:
-
-* all events in the configured keyspaces to include
-* all events in the configured categories to include
-* all events executed by the configured users to include
-
-The audit log does not contain:
-
-* configuration changes made in `cassandra.yaml` file
-* `nodetool` commands
-* Passwords mentioned as part of DCL statements: Passwords will be obfuscated as \*\*\*\*\*\*\*.
- ** Statements that fail to parse will have everything after the appearance of the word password obfuscated as \*\*\*\*\*\*\*.
- ** Statements with a mistyped word 'password' will be logged without obfuscation. Please make sure to use a different password on retries.
-
-The audit log is a series of log entries. 
-An audit log entry contains:
-
-* keyspace (String) - Keyspace on which request is made
-* operation (String) - Database operation such as CQL command
-* user (String) - User name
-* scope (String) - Scope of request such as Table/Function/Aggregate name
-* type (AuditLogEntryType) - Type of request
-** CQL Audit Log Entry Type
-** Common Audit Log Entry Type
-* source (InetAddressAndPort) - Source IP Address from which request originated
-* timestamp (long ) - Timestamp of the request
-* batch (UUID) - Batch of request
-* options (QueryOptions) - CQL Query options
-* state (QueryState) - State related to a given query
-
-Each entry contains all applicable attributes for the given event, concatenated with a pipe (|).
-
-CQL audit log entry types are the following CQL commands. Each command is assigned to a particular specified category to log:
-
-[width="100%",cols="20%,80%",options="header",]
-|===
-| Category | CQL commands

-|===
-
-== Configuring audit logging in cassandra.yaml
-
-The `cassandra.yaml` file can be used to configure and enable audit logging.
-Configuration and enablement may be the same or different on each node, depending on the `cassandra.yaml` file settings.
-Audit logs are generated on each enabled node, so logs on each node will have that node's queries.
-All options for audit logging can be set in the `cassandra.yaml` file under the ``audit_logging_options:``.
-
-The file includes the following options that can be uncommented for use:
-
-[source, yaml]
-----
-# Audit logging - Logs every incoming CQL command request, authentication to a node. See the docs
-# on audit_logging for full details about the various configuration options.
-audit_logging_options:
-    enabled: false
-    logger:
-      - class_name: BinAuditLogger
-    # audit_logs_dir:
-    # included_keyspaces:
-    # excluded_keyspaces: system, system_schema, system_virtual_schema

-    # max_log_size: 17179869184 # 16 GiB
-    ## archive command is "/path/to/script.sh %path" where %path is replaced with the file being rolled:
-    # archive_command:
-    # max_archive_retries: 10
-----
-
-=== enabled
-
-Audit logging is enabled by setting the `enabled` option to `true` in
-the `audit_logging_options` setting. 
-If this option is enabled, audit logging will start when Cassandra is started.
-For example, ``enabled: true``.
-
-=== logger
-
-The type of audit logger is set with the `logger` option. 
-Supported values are: `BinAuditLogger` (default), `FileAuditLogger` and `NoOpAuditLogger`.
-`BinAuditLogger` logs events to a file in binary format. 
-`FileAuditLogger` uses the standard logging mechanism, `slf4j` to log events to the `audit/audit.log` file. It is a synchronous, file-based audit logger. The roll_cycle will be set in the `logback.xml` file.
-`NoOpAuditLogger` is a no-op implementation of the audit logger that shoudl be specified when audit logging is disabled.
-
-For example:
-
-[source, yaml]
-----
-logger: 
-  - class_name: FileAuditLogger
-----
-
-=== audit_logs_dir
-
-To write audit logs, an existing directory must be set in ``audit_logs_dir``.
-
-The directory must have appropriate permissions set to allow reading, writing, and executing.
-Logging will recursively delete the directory contents as needed.
-Do not place links in this directory to other sections of the filesystem.
-For example, ``audit_logs_dir: /cassandra/audit/logs/hourly``.
-
-The audit log directory can also be configured using the system property `cassandra.logdir.audit`, which by default is set to `cassandra.logdir + /audit/`.
-
-=== included_keyspaces and excluded_keyspaces
-
-Set the keyspaces to include with the `included_keyspaces` option and
-the keyspaces to exclude with the `excluded_keyspaces` option. 
-By default, `system`, `system_schema` and `system_virtual_schema` are excluded, and all other keyspaces are included.
-
-For example:
-[source, yaml]
-----
-included_keyspaces: test, demo
-excluded_keyspaces: system, system_schema, system_virtual_schema
-----
-
-=== included_categories and excluded_categories
-
-The categories of database operations to include are specified with the `included_categories` option as a comma-separated list. 
-The categories of database operations to exclude are specified with `excluded_categories` option as a comma-separated list. 
-The supported categories for audit log are: `AUTH`, `DCL`, `DDL`, `DML`, `ERROR`, `OTHER`, `PREPARE`, and `QUERY`.
-By default all supported categories are included, and no category is excluded. 
-
-[source, yaml]
-----
-included_categories: AUTH, ERROR, DCL
-excluded_categories: DDL, DML, QUERY, PREPARE
-----
-
-=== included_users and excluded_users
-
-Users to audit log are set with the `included_users` and `excluded_users` options. 
-The `included_users` option specifies a comma-separated list of users to include explicitly.
-The `excluded_users` option specifies a comma-separated list of users to exclude explicitly.
-By default all users are included, and no users are excluded. 
-
-[source, yaml]
-----
-included_users: 
-excluded_users: john, mary
-----
-
-=== roll_cycle
-
-The ``roll_cycle`` defines the frequency with which the audit log segments are rolled.
-Supported values are ``HOURLY`` (default), ``MINUTELY``, and ``DAILY``.
-For example: ``roll_cycle: DAILY``
-
-=== block
-
-The ``block`` option specifies whether audit logging should block writing or drop log records if the audit logging falls behind. Supported boolean values are ``true`` (default) or ``false``.
-For example: ``block: false`` to drop records
-
-=== max_queue_weight
-
-The ``max_queue_weight`` option sets the maximum weight of in-memory queue for records waiting to be written to the file before blocking or dropping.  The option must be set to a positive value. The default value is 268435456, or 256 MiB.
-For example, to change the default: ``max_queue_weight: 134217728 # 128 MiB``
-
-=== max_log_size
-
-The ``max_log_size`` option sets the maximum size of the rolled files to retain on disk before deleting the oldest file.  The option must be set to a positive value. The default is 17179869184, or 16 GiB.
-For example, to change the default: ``max_log_size: 34359738368 # 32 GiB``
-
-=== archive_command
-
-The ``archive_command`` option sets the user-defined archive script to execute on rolled log files.
-For example: ``archive_command: /usr/local/bin/archiveit.sh %path # %path is the file being rolled``
-
-=== max_archive_retries
-
-The ``max_archive_retries`` option sets the max number of retries of failed archive commands. The default is 10.
-For example: ``max_archive_retries: 10``
-
-
-An audit log file could get rolled for other reasons as well such as a
-log file reaches the configured size threshold.
-
-Audit logging can also be configured using ``nodetool` when enabling the feature, and will override any values set in the `cassandra.yaml` file, as discussed in the next section.
-
-
-== Enabling Audit Logging with ``nodetool``
- 
-Audit logging is enabled on a per-node basis using the ``nodetool enableauditlog`` command. The logging directory must be defined with ``audit_logs_dir`` in the `cassandra.yaml` file or uses the default value ``cassandra.logdir.audit``.
-
-The syntax of the ``nodetool enableauditlog`` command has all the same options that can be set in the ``cassandra.yaml`` file except ``audit_logs_dir``.
-In addition, ``nodetool`` has options to set which host and port to run the command on, and username and password if the command requires authentication.

-----
-
-To enable audit logging, run following command on each node in the cluster on which you want to enable logging:
-
-[source, bash]
-----
-$ nodetool enableauditlog
-----
-
-== Disabling audit logging
-
-Use the `nodetool disableauditlog` command to disable audit logging. 
-
-== Viewing audit logs
-
-The `auditlogviewer` tool is used to view (dump) audit logs if the logger was ``BinAuditLogger``.. 
-``auditlogviewer`` converts the binary log files into human-readable format; only the audit log directory must be supplied as a command-line option.
-If the logger ``FileAuditLogger`` was set, the log file are already in human-readable format and ``auditlogviewer`` is not needed to read files. 
-
-
-The syntax of `auditlogviewer` is:
-
-[source, plaintext]
-----
-auditlogviewer
-
-Audit log files directory path is a required argument.
-usage: auditlogviewer <path1> [<path2>...<pathN>] [options]
---
-View the audit log contents in human readable format
---
-Options are:
--f,--follow       Upon reaching the end of the log continue indefinitely
-                  waiting for more records
--h,--help         display this help message
--r,--roll_cycle   How often to roll the log file was rolled. May be
-                  necessary for Chronicle to correctly parse file names. (MINUTELY, HOURLY,
-                  DAILY). Default HOURLY.
-----
-
-== Example
-
-[arabic, start=1]
-. To demonstrate audit logging, first configure the ``cassandra.yaml`` file with the following settings:
-
-[source, yaml]
-----
-audit_logging_options:
-   enabled: true
-   logger: BinAuditLogger
-   audit_logs_dir: "/cassandra/audit/logs/hourly"
-   # included_keyspaces:

-   # included_categories:
-   # excluded_categories:
-   # included_users:
-   # excluded_users:
-   roll_cycle: HOURLY
-   # block: true
-   # max_queue_weight: 268435456 # 256 MiB
-   # max_log_size: 17179869184 # 16 GiB
-   ## archive command is "/path/to/script.sh %path" where %path is replaced with the file being rolled:
-   # archive_command:
-   # max_archive_retries: 10
-----
-
-[arabic, start=2]
-. Create the audit log directory `/cassandra/audit/logs/hourly` and set the directory permissions to read, write, and execute for all. 
-
-[arabic, start=3]
-. Now create a demo keyspace and table and insert some data using ``cqlsh``:
-
-[source, cql]
-----
- cqlsh> CREATE KEYSPACE auditlogkeyspace
-   ... WITH replication = {'class': 'SimpleStrategy', 'replication_factor' : 1};
- cqlsh> USE auditlogkeyspace;
- cqlsh:auditlogkeyspace> CREATE TABLE t (
- ...id int,
- ...k int,
- ...v text,
- ...PRIMARY KEY (id)
- ... );
- cqlsh:auditlogkeyspace> INSERT INTO t (id, k, v) VALUES (0, 0, 'val0');
- cqlsh:auditlogkeyspace> INSERT INTO t (id, k, v) VALUES (0, 1, 'val1');
-----
-
-All the supported CQL commands will be logged to the audit log directory.

-= Backups
-
-Apache Cassandra stores data in immutable SSTable files. Backups in
-Apache Cassandra database are backup copies of the database data that is
-stored as SSTable files. Backups are used for several purposes including
-the following:
-
-* To store a data copy for durability
-* To be able to restore a table if table data is lost due to
-node/partition/network failure
-* To be able to transfer the SSTable files to a different machine; for
-portability
-
-== Types of Backups
-
-Apache Cassandra supports two kinds of backup strategies.
-
-* Snapshots
-* Incremental Backups
-
-A _snapshot_ is a copy of a table’s SSTable files at a given time,
-created via hard links. 
-The DDL to create the table is stored as well.
-Snapshots may be created by a user or created automatically. 
-The setting `snapshot_before_compaction` in the `cassandra.yaml` file determines if
-snapshots are created before each compaction. 
-By default, `snapshot_before_compaction` is set to false. 
-Snapshots may be created automatically before keyspace truncation or dropping of a table by
-setting `auto_snapshot` to true (default) in `cassandra.yaml`. 
-Truncates could be delayed due to the auto snapshots and another setting in
-`cassandra.yaml` determines how long the coordinator should wait for
-truncates to complete. 
-By default Cassandra waits 60 seconds for auto snapshots to complete.
-
-An _incremental backup_ is a copy of a table’s SSTable files created by
-a hard link when memtables are flushed to disk as SSTables. 
-Typically incremental backups are paired with snapshots to reduce the backup time
-as well as reduce disk space. 
-Incremental backups are not enabled by default and must be enabled explicitly in `cassandra.yaml` (with
-`incremental_backups` setting) or with `nodetool`. 
-Once enabled, Cassandra creates a hard link to each SSTable flushed or streamed
-locally in a `backups/` subdirectory of the keyspace data. 
-Incremental backups of system tables are also created.
-
-== Data Directory Structure
-
-The directory structure of Cassandra data consists of different
-directories for keyspaces, and tables with the data files within the
-table directories. 
-Directories backups and snapshots to store backups
-and snapshots respectively for a particular table are also stored within
-the table directory. 
-The directory structure for Cassandra is illustrated in Figure 1.

-=== Setting Up Example Tables for Backups and Snapshots
-
-In this section we shall create some example data that could be used to
-demonstrate incremental backups and snapshots. 
-We have used a three node Cassandra cluster. 
-First, the keyspaces are created. 
-Then tables are created within a keyspace and table data is added. 
-We have used two keyspaces `cqlkeyspace` and `catalogkeyspace` with two tables within
-each. 
-
-Create the keyspace `cqlkeyspace`:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/create_ks_backup.cql[]
-----
-
-Create two tables `t` and `t2` in the `cqlkeyspace` keyspace.
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/create_table_backup.cql[]
-----
-
-Add data to the tables: 
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/insert_data_backup.cql[]
-----
-
-Query the table to list the data:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/select_data_backup.cql[]
-----
-
-results in
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$RESULTS/select_data_backup.result[]
-----
-
-Create a second keyspace `catalogkeyspace`:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/create_ks2_backup.cql[]
-----
-
-Create two tables `journal`  and `magazine` in `catalogkeyspace`:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/create_table2_backup.cql[]
-----
-
-Add data to the tables:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/insert_data2_backup.cql[]
-----
-
-Query the tables to list the data:
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$CQL/select_data2_backup.cql[]
-----
-
-results in 
-
-[source,cql]
-----
-include::example$RESULTS/select_data2_backup.result[]
-----
-
-== Snapshots
-
-In this section, we demonstrate creating snapshots. 
-The command used to create a snapshot is `nodetool snapshot` with the usage:
-
-[source,bash]
-----
-include::example$BASH/nodetool_snapshot.sh[]
-----
-
-results in
-
-[source, plaintext]
-----
-include::example$RESULTS/nodetool_snapshot_help.result[]
-----
-
-=== Configuring for Snapshots
-
-To demonstrate creating snapshots with Nodetool on the commandline we
-have set `auto_snapshots` setting to `false` in the `cassandra.yaml` file:
-
-[source,yaml]
-----
-include::example$YAML/auto_snapshot.yaml[]
-----
-
-Also set `snapshot_before_compaction` to `false` to disable creating
-snapshots automatically before compaction:
-
-[source,yaml]
-----
-include::example$YAML/snapshot_before_compaction.yaml[]
-----
-
-=== Creating Snapshots
-
-Before creating any snapshots, search for snapshots and none will be listed:
-
-[source,bash]
-----
-include::example$BASH/find_snapshots.sh[]
-----
-
-We shall be using the example keyspaces and tables to create snapshots.
-
-==== Taking Snapshots of all Tables in a Keyspace
-
-Using the syntax above, create a snapshot called `catalog-ks` for all the tables
-in the `catalogkeyspace` keyspace:
-
-[source,bash]
-----
-include::example$BASH/snapshot_backup2.sh[]
-----
-
-results in
-
-[source,none]
-----
-include::example$RESULTS/snapshot_backup2.result[]
-----
-
-Using the `find` command above, the snapshots and `snapshots` directories 
-are now found with listed files similar to:
-
-[source, plaintext]
-----
-include::example$RESULTS/snapshot_backup2_find.result[]
-----
-
-Snapshots of all tables in multiple keyspaces may be created similarly:
-
-[source,bash]
-----
-include::example$BASH/snapshot_both_backups.sh[]
-----
-
-==== Taking Snapshots of Single Table in a Keyspace
-
-To take a snapshot of a single table the `nodetool snapshot` command
-syntax becomes as follows:
-
-[source,bash]
-----
-include::example$BASH/snapshot_one_table.sh[]
-----
-
-Using the syntax above, create a snapshot for table `magazine` in keyspace `catalogkeyspace`:
-
-[source,bash]
-----
-include::example$BASH/snapshot_one_table2.sh[]
-----
-
-results in
- 
-[source, plaintext]
-----
-include::example$RESULTS/snapshot_one_table2.result[]
-----
-
-==== Taking Snapshot of Multiple Tables from same Keyspace
-
-To take snapshots of multiple tables in a keyspace the list of
-_Keyspace.table_ must be specified with option `--kt-list`. 
-For example, create snapshots for tables `t` and `t2` in the `cqlkeyspace` keyspace:
-
-[source,bash]
-----
-include::example$BASH/snapshot_mult_tables.sh[]
-----
-
-results in
-
-[source,plaintext]
-----
-include::example$RESULTS/snapshot_mult_tables.result[]
-----
-
-Multiple snapshots of the same set of tables may be created and tagged with a different name. 
-As an example, create another snapshot for the same set of tables `t` and `t2` in the `cqlkeyspace` 
-keyspace and tag the snapshots differently:
-
-[source,bash]
-----
-include::example$BASH/snapshot_mult_tables_again.sh[]
-----
-
-results in
-
-[source, plaintext]
-----
-include::example$RESULTS/snapshot_mult_tables_again.result[]
-----
-
-==== Taking Snapshot of Multiple Tables from Different Keyspaces
-
-To take snapshots of multiple tables that are in different keyspaces the
-command syntax is the same as when multiple tables are in the same
-keyspace. 
-Each <keyspace>.<table> must be specified separately in the
-`--kt-list` option. 
-
-For example, create a snapshot for table `t` in
-the `cqlkeyspace` and table `journal` in the catalogkeyspace and tag the
-snapshot `multi-ks`.
-
-[source,bash]
-----
-include::example$BASH/snapshot_mult_ks.sh[]
-----
-
-results in
-[source, plaintext]
-----
-include::example$RESULTS/snapshot_mult_ks.result[]
-----
-
-=== Listing Snapshots
-
-To list snapshots use the `nodetool listsnapshots` command. All the
-snapshots that we created in the preceding examples get listed:
-
-[source,bash]
-----
-include::example$BASH/nodetool_list_snapshots.sh[]
-----
-
-results in
-
-[source, plaintext]
-----
-include::example$RESULTS/nodetool_list_snapshots.result[]
-----
-
-=== Finding Snapshots Directories
-
-The `snapshots` directories may be listed with `find –name snapshots`
-command:
-
-[source,bash]
-----
-include::example$BASH/find_snapshots.sh[]
-----
-
-results in
-
-[source, plaintext]
-----
-include::example$RESULTS/snapshot_all.result[]
-----
-
-To list the snapshots for a particular table first change to the snapshots directory for that table. 
-For example, list the snapshots for the `catalogkeyspace/journal` table:
-
-[source,bash]
-----
-include::example$BASH/find_two_snapshots.sh[]
-----
-
-results in
-
-[source, plaintext]
-----
-include::example$RESULTS/find_two_snapshots.result[]
-----
-
-A `snapshots` directory lists the SSTable files in the snapshot.
-A `schema.cql` file is also created in each snapshot that defines schema
-that can recreate the table with CQL when restoring from a snapshot:
-
-[source,bash]
-----
-include::example$BASH/snapshot_files.sh[]
-----
-
-results in
-
-[source, plaintext]
-----
-include::example$RESULTS/snapshot_files.result[]
-----
-
-=== Clearing Snapshots
-
-Snapshots may be cleared or deleted with the `nodetool clearsnapshot`
-command. Either a specific snapshot name must be specified or the `–all`
-option must be specified. 
-
-For example, delete a snapshot called `magazine` from keyspace `cqlkeyspace`:
-
-[source,bash]
-----
-include::example$BASH/nodetool_clearsnapshot.sh[]
-----
-
-or delete all snapshots from `cqlkeyspace` with the –all option:
-
-[source,bash]
-----
-include::example$BASH/nodetool_clearsnapshot_all.sh[]
-----
-
-== Incremental Backups
-
-In the following sections, we shall discuss configuring and creating
-incremental backups.
-
-=== Configuring for Incremental Backups
-
-To create incremental backups set `incremental_backups` to `true` in
-`cassandra.yaml`.
-
-[source,yaml]
-----
-include::example$YAML/incremental_bups.yaml[]
-----
-
-This is the only setting needed to create incremental backups. 
-By default `incremental_backups` setting is set to `false` because a new
-set of SSTable files is created for each data flush and if several CQL
-statements are to be run the `backups` directory could fill up quickly
-and use up storage that is needed to store table data. 
-Incremental backups may also be enabled on the command line with the nodetool
-command `nodetool enablebackup`. 
-Incremental backups may be disabled with `nodetool disablebackup` command. 
-Status of incremental backups, whether they are enabled may be checked with `nodetool statusbackup`.
-
-=== Creating Incremental Backups
-
-After each table is created flush the table data with `nodetool flush`
-command. Incremental backups get created.
-
-[source,bash]
-----
-include::example$BASH/nodetool_flush.sh[]
-----
-
-=== Finding Incremental Backups
-
-Incremental backups are created within the Cassandra’s `data` directory
-within a table directory. Backups may be found with following command.
-
-[source,bash]
-----
-include::example$BASH/find_backups.sh[]
-----
-results in
-[source,none]
-----
-include::example$RESULTS/find_backups.result[]
-----
-
-=== Creating an Incremental Backup
-
-This section discusses how incremental backups are created in more
-detail using the keyspace and table previously created.
-
-Flush the keyspace and table:
-
-[source,bash]
-----
-include::example$BASH/nodetool_flush_table.sh[]
-----
-
-A search for backups and a `backups` directory will list a backup directory,
-even if we have added no table data yet.
-
-[source,bash]
-----
-include::example$BASH/find_backups.sh[]
-----
-
-results in
-
-[source,plaintext]
-----
-include::example$RESULTS/find_backups_table.result[]
-----
-
-Checking the `backups` directory will show that there are also no backup files:
-
-[source,bash]
-----
-include::example$BASH/check_backups.sh[]
-----
-
-results in
-
-[source, plaintext]
-----
-include::example$RESULTS/no_bups.result[]
-----
-
-If a row of data is added to the data, running the `nodetool flush` command will
-flush the table data and an incremental backup will be created:
-
-[source,bash]
-----
-include::example$BASH/flush_and_check.sh[]
-----
-
-results in 
-
-[source, plaintext]
-----
-include::example$RESULTS/flush_and_check.result[]
-----
-
-[NOTE]
-.note
-====
-The `backups` directory for any table, such as `cqlkeyspace/t` is created in the
-`data` directory for that table.
-====
-
-Adding another row of data and flushing will result in another set of incremental backup files.
-The SSTable files are timestamped, which distinguishes the first incremental backup from the
-second:
-
-[source,none]
-----
-include::example$RESULTS/flush_and_check2.result[]
-----
-
-== Restoring from Incremental Backups and Snapshots
-
-The two main tools/commands for restoring a table after it has been
-dropped are:
-
-* sstableloader
-* nodetool import
-
-A snapshot contains essentially the same set of SSTable files as an
-incremental backup does with a few additional files. A snapshot includes
-a `schema.cql` file for the schema DDL to create a table in CQL. A table
-backup does not include DDL which must be obtained from a snapshot when
-restoring from an incremental backup.

-== Strategies
-
-Picking the right compaction strategy for your workload will ensure the
-best performance for both querying and for compaction itself.
-
-xref:operating/compaction/stcs.adoc[`Size Tiered Compaction Strategy (STCS)`]::
-  The default compaction strategy. Useful as a fallback when other
-  strategies don't fit the workload. Most useful for non pure time
-  series workloads with spinning disks, or when the I/O from `LCS`
-  is too high.
-xref:operating/compaction/lcs.adoc[`Leveled Compaction Strategy (LCS)`]::
-  Leveled Compaction Strategy (LCS) is optimized for read heavy
-  workloads, or workloads with lots of updates and deletes. It is not a
-  good choice for immutable time series data.
-xref:operating/compaction/twcs.adoc[`Time Window Compaction Strategy (TWCS)`]::
-  Time Window Compaction Strategy is designed for TTL'ed, mostly
-  immutable time series data.
-
-== Types of compaction
-
-The concept of compaction is used for different kinds of operations in
-Cassandra, the common thing about these operations is that it takes one
-or more SSTables and output new SSTables. The types of compactions are:
-
-Minor compaction::
-  triggered automatically in Cassandra.
-Major compaction::
-  a user executes a compaction over all SSTables on the node.
-User defined compaction::
-  a user triggers a compaction on a given set of SSTables.
-Scrub::
-  try to fix any broken SSTables. This can actually remove valid data if
-  that data is corrupted, if that happens you will need to run a full
-  repair on the node.
-UpgradeSSTables::
-  upgrade SSTables to the latest version. Run this after upgrading to a
-  new major version.
-Cleanup::
-  remove any ranges this node does not own anymore, typically triggered
-  on neighbouring nodes after a node has been bootstrapped since that
-  node will take ownership of some ranges from those nodes.
-Secondary index rebuild::
-  rebuild the secondary indexes on the node.
-Anticompaction::
-  after repair the ranges that were actually repaired are split out of
-  the SSTables that existed when repair started.
-Sub range compaction::
-  It is possible to only compact a given sub range - this could be
-  useful if you know a token that has been misbehaving - either
-  gathering many updates or many deletes.
-  (`nodetool compact -st x -et y`) will pick all SSTables containing the
-  range between x and y and issue a compaction for those SSTables. For
-  STCS this will most likely include all SSTables but with LCS it can
-  issue the compaction for a subset of the SSTables. With LCS the
-  resulting sstable will end up in L0.
-
-== When is a minor compaction triggered?
-
-* When an sstable is added to the node through flushing/streaming
-* When autocompaction is enabled after being disabled (`nodetool enableautocompaction`) 
-* When compaction adds new SSTables 
-* A check for new minor compactions every 5 minutes
-
-== Merging SSTables
-
-Compaction is about merging SSTables, since partitions in SSTables are
-sorted based on the hash of the partition key it is possible to
-efficiently merge separate SSTables. Content of each partition is also
-sorted so each partition can be merged efficiently.
-
-== Tombstones and Garbage Collection (GC) Grace
-
-=== Why Tombstones
-
-When a delete request is received by Cassandra it does not actually
-remove the data from the underlying store. Instead it writes a special
-piece of data known as a tombstone. The Tombstone represents the delete
-and causes all values which occurred before the tombstone to not appear
-in queries to the database. This approach is used instead of removing
-values because of the distributed nature of Cassandra.
-
-=== Deletes without tombstones
-
-Imagine a three node cluster which has the value [A] replicated to every
-node.:
-
-[source,none]
-----
-[A], [A], [A]
-----
-
-If one of the nodes fails and and our delete operation only removes
-existing values we can end up with a cluster that looks like:
-
-[source,none]
-----
-[], [], [A]
-----
-
-Then a repair operation would replace the value of [A] back onto the two
-nodes which are missing the value.:
-
-[source,none]
-----
-[A], [A], [A]
-----
-
-This would cause our data to be resurrected even though it had been
-deleted.
-
-=== Deletes with Tombstones
-
-Starting again with a three node cluster which has the value [A]
-replicated to every node.:
-
-[source,none]
-----
-[A], [A], [A]
-----
-
-If instead of removing data we add a tombstone record, our single node
-failure situation will look like this.:
-
-[source,none]
-----
-[A, Tombstone[A]], [A, Tombstone[A]], [A]
-----
-
-Now when we issue a repair the Tombstone will be copied to the replica,
-rather than the deleted data being resurrected.:
-
-[source,none]
-----
-[A, Tombstone[A]], [A, Tombstone[A]], [A, Tombstone[A]]
-----
-
-Our repair operation will correctly put the state of the system to what
-we expect with the record [A] marked as deleted on all nodes. This does
-mean we will end up accruing Tombstones which will permanently
-accumulate disk space. To avoid keeping tombstones forever we have a
-parameter known as `gc_grace_seconds` for every table in Cassandra.
-
-=== The gc_grace_seconds parameter and Tombstone Removal
-
-The table level `gc_grace_seconds` parameter controls how long Cassandra
-will retain tombstones through compaction events before finally removing
-them. This duration should directly reflect the amount of time a user
-expects to allow before recovering a failed node. After
-`gc_grace_seconds` has expired the tombstone may be removed (meaning
-there will no longer be any record that a certain piece of data was
-deleted), but as a tombstone can live in one sstable and the data it
-covers in another, a compaction must also include both sstable for a
-tombstone to be removed. More precisely, to be able to drop an actual
-tombstone the following needs to be true;
-
-* The tombstone must be older than `gc_grace_seconds`
-* If partition X contains the tombstone, the sstable containing the
-partition plus all SSTables containing data older than the tombstone
-containing X must be included in the same compaction. We don't need to
-care if the partition is in an sstable if we can guarantee that all data
-in that sstable is newer than the tombstone. If the tombstone is older
-than the data it cannot shadow that data.
-* If the option `only_purge_repaired_tombstones` is enabled, tombstones
-are only removed if the data has also been repaired.
-
-If a node remains down or disconnected for longer than
-`gc_grace_seconds` it's deleted data will be repaired back to the other
-nodes and re-appear in the cluster. This is basically the same as in the
-"Deletes without Tombstones" section. Note that tombstones will not be
-removed until a compaction event even if `gc_grace_seconds` has elapsed.
-
-The default value for `gc_grace_seconds` is 864000 which is equivalent
-to 10 days. This can be set when creating or altering a table using
-`WITH gc_grace_seconds`.
-
-== TTL
-
-Data in Cassandra can have an additional property called time to live -
-this is used to automatically drop data that has expired once the time
-is reached. Once the TTL has expired the data is converted to a
-tombstone which stays around for at least `gc_grace_seconds`. Note that
-if you mix data with TTL and data without TTL (or just different length
-of the TTL) Cassandra will have a hard time dropping the tombstones
-created since the partition might span many SSTables and not all are
-compacted at once.
-
-== Fully expired SSTables
-
-If an sstable contains only tombstones and it is guaranteed that that
-sstable is not shadowing data in any other sstable compaction can drop
-that sstable. If you see SSTables with only tombstones (note that TTL:ed
-data is considered tombstones once the time to live has expired) but it
-is not being dropped by compaction, it is likely that other SSTables
-contain older data. There is a tool called `sstableexpiredblockers` that
-will list which SSTables are droppable and which are blocking them from
-being dropped. This is especially useful for time series compaction with
-`TimeWindowCompactionStrategy` (and the deprecated
-`DateTieredCompactionStrategy`). With `TimeWindowCompactionStrategy` it
-is possible to remove the guarantee (not check for shadowing data) by
-enabling `unsafe_aggressive_sstable_expiration`.
-
-== Repaired/unrepaired data
-
-With incremental repairs Cassandra must keep track of what data is
-repaired and what data is unrepaired. With anticompaction repaired data
-is split out into repaired and unrepaired SSTables. To avoid mixing up
-the data again separate compaction strategy instances are run on the two
-sets of data, each instance only knowing about either the repaired or
-the unrepaired SSTables. This means that if you only run incremental
-repair once and then never again, you might have very old data in the
-repaired SSTables that block compaction from dropping tombstones in the
-unrepaired (probably newer) SSTables.
-
-== Data directories
-
-Since tombstones and data can live in different SSTables it is important
-to realize that losing an sstable might lead to data becoming live again
-- the most common way of losing SSTables is to have a hard drive break
-down. To avoid making data live tombstones and actual data are always in
-the same data directory. This way, if a disk is lost, all versions of a
-partition are lost and no data can get undeleted. To achieve this a
-compaction strategy instance per data directory is run in addition to
-the compaction strategy instances containing repaired/unrepaired data,
-this means that if you have 4 data directories there will be 8
-compaction strategy instances running. This has a few more benefits than
-just avoiding data getting undeleted:
-
-* It is possible to run more compactions in parallel - leveled
-compaction will have several totally separate levelings and each one can
-run compactions independently from the others.
-* Users can backup and restore a single data directory.
-* Note though that currently all data directories are considered equal,
-so if you have a tiny disk and a big disk backing two data directories,
-the big one will be limited the by the small one. One work around to
-this is to create more data directories backed by the big disk.
-
-== Single sstable tombstone compaction
-
-When an sstable is written a histogram with the tombstone expiry times
-is created and this is used to try to find SSTables with very many
-tombstones and run single sstable compaction on that sstable in hope of
-being able to drop tombstones in that sstable. Before starting this it
-is also checked how likely it is that any tombstones will actually will
-be able to be dropped how much this sstable overlaps with other
-SSTables. To avoid most of these checks the compaction option
-`unchecked_tombstone_compaction` can be enabled.
-
-[[compaction-options]]
-== Common options
-
-There is a number of common options for all the compaction strategies;
-
-`enabled` (default: true)::
-  Whether minor compactions should run. Note that you can have
-  'enabled': true as a compaction option and then do 'nodetool
-  enableautocompaction' to start running compactions.
-`tombstone_threshold` (default: 0.2)::
-  How much of the sstable should be tombstones for us to consider doing
-  a single sstable compaction of that sstable.
-`tombstone_compaction_interval` (default: 86400s (1 day))::
-  Since it might not be possible to drop any tombstones when doing a
-  single sstable compaction we need to make sure that one sstable is not
-  constantly getting recompacted - this option states how often we
-  should try for a given sstable.
-`log_all` (default: false)::
-  New detailed compaction logging, see
-  `below <detailed-compaction-logging>`.
-`unchecked_tombstone_compaction` (default: false)::
-  The single sstable compaction has quite strict checks for whether it
-  should be started, this option disables those checks and for some
-  usecases this might be needed. Note that this does not change anything
-  for the actual compaction, tombstones are only dropped if it is safe
-  to do so - it might just rewrite an sstable without being able to drop
-  any tombstones.
-`only_purge_repaired_tombstone` (default: false)::
-  Option to enable the extra safety of making sure that tombstones are
-  only dropped if the data has been repaired.
-`min_threshold` (default: 4)::
-  Lower limit of number of SSTables before a compaction is triggered.
-  Not used for `LeveledCompactionStrategy`.
-`max_threshold` (default: 32)::
-  Upper limit of number of SSTables before a compaction is triggered.
-  Not used for `LeveledCompactionStrategy`.
-
-Further, see the section on each strategy for specific additional
-options.
-
-== Compaction nodetool commands
-
-The `nodetool <nodetool>` utility provides a number of commands related
-to compaction:
-
-`enableautocompaction`::
-  Enable compaction.
-`disableautocompaction`::
-  Disable compaction.
-`setcompactionthroughput`::
-  How fast compaction should run at most - defaults to 64MiB/s.
-`compactionstats`::
-  Statistics about current and pending compactions.
-`compactionhistory`::
-  List details about the last compactions.
-`setcompactionthreshold`::
-  Set the min/max sstable count for when to trigger compaction, defaults
-  to 4/32.
-
-== Switching the compaction strategy and options using JMX
-
-It is possible to switch compaction strategies and its options on just a
-single node using JMX, this is a great way to experiment with settings
-without affecting the whole cluster. The mbean is:

-= Monitoring
-
-Metrics in Cassandra are managed using the
-http://metrics.dropwizard.io[Dropwizard Metrics] library. These metrics
-can be queried via JMX or pushed to external monitoring systems using a
-number of
-http://metrics.dropwizard.io/3.1.0/getting-started/#other-reporting[built
-in] and http://metrics.dropwizard.io/3.1.0/manual/third-party/[third
-party] reporter plugins.
-
-Metrics are collected for a single node. It's up to the operator to use
-an external monitoring system to aggregate them.
-
-== Metric Types
-
-All metrics reported by cassandra fit into one of the following types.
-
-`Gauge`::
-  An instantaneous measurement of a value.
-`Counter`::
-  A gauge for an `AtomicLong` instance. Typically this is consumed by
-  monitoring the change since the last call to see if there is a large
-  increase compared to the norm.
-`Histogram`::
-  Measures the statistical distribution of values in a stream of data.
-  +
-  In addition to minimum, maximum, mean, etc., it also measures median,
-  75th, 90th, 95th, 98th, 99th, and 99.9th percentiles.
-`Timer`::
-  Measures both the rate that a particular piece of code is called and
-  the histogram of its duration.
-`Latency`::
-  Special type that tracks latency (in microseconds) with a `Timer` plus
-  a `Counter` that tracks the total latency accrued since starting. The
-  former is useful if you track the change in total latency since the
-  last check. Each metric name of this type will have 'Latency' and
-  'TotalLatency' appended to it.
-`Meter`::
-  A meter metric which measures mean throughput and one-, five-, and
-  fifteen-minute exponentially-weighted moving average throughputs.
-
-== Table Metrics
-
-Each table in Cassandra has metrics responsible for tracking its state
-and performance.
-
-The metric names are all appended with the specific `Keyspace` and
-`Table` name.
-
-Reported name format:
-
-*Metric Name*::
-  `org.apache.cassandra.metrics.Table.<MetricName>.<Keyspace>.<Table>`
-*JMX MBean*::
-  `org.apache.cassandra.metrics:type=Table keyspace=<Keyspace> scope=<Table> name=<MetricName>`
-
-[NOTE]
-.Note
-====
-There is a special table called '`all`' without a keyspace. This
-represents the aggregation of metrics across *all* tables and keyspaces
-on the node.

-metrics can be exported to a number of monitoring system a number of
-http://metrics.dropwizard.io/3.1.0/getting-started/#other-reporting[built
-in] and http://metrics.dropwizard.io/3.1.0/manual/third-party/[third
-party] reporter plugins.
-
-The configuration of these plugins is managed by the
-https://github.com/addthis/metrics-reporter-config[metrics reporter
-config project]. There is a sample configuration file located at
-`conf/metrics-reporter-config-sample.yaml`.
-
-Once configured, you simply start cassandra with the flag
-`-Dcassandra.metricsReporterConfigFile=metrics-reporter-config.yaml`.
-The specified .yaml file plus any 3rd party reporter jars must all be in
-Cassandra's classpath.

-= Virtual Tables
-
-Apache Cassandra 4.0 implements virtual tables (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7622[CASSANDRA-7622]).
-Virtual tables are tables backed by an API instead of data explicitly managed and stored as SSTables. 
-Apache Cassandra 4.0 implements a virtual keyspace interface for virtual tables. 
-Virtual tables are specific to each node.
-
-Some of the features of virtual tables are the ability to:
-
-* expose metrics through CQL
-* expose YAML configuration information
-
-Virtual keyspaces and tables are quite different from regular tables and keyspaces:
-
-* Virtual tables are created in special keyspaces and not just any keyspace.
-* Virtual tables are managed by Cassandra. Users cannot run DDL to create new virtual tables or DML to modify existing virtual tables.
-* Virtual tables are currently read-only, although that may change in a later version.
-* Virtual tables are local only, non-distributed, and thus not replicated.
-* Virtual tables have no associated SSTables.
-* Consistency level of the queries sent to virtual tables are ignored.
-* All existing virtual tables use `LocalPartitioner`. 
-Since a virtual table is not replicated the partitioner sorts in order of partition keys instead of by their hash.
-* Making advanced queries using `ALLOW FILTERING` and aggregation functions can be executed in virtual tables, even though in normal tables we dont recommend it.
-
-== Virtual Keyspaces
-
-Apache Cassandra 4.0 has added two new keyspaces for virtual tables:
-
-* `system_virtual_schema` 
-* `system_views`. 
-
-The `system_virtual_schema` keyspace has three tables: `keyspaces`,
-`columns` and `tables` for the virtual keyspace, table, and column definitions, respectively.
-These tables contain schema information for the virtual tables.
-It is used by Cassandra internally and a user should not access it directly.
-
-The `system_views` keyspace contains the actual virtual tables.
-
-== Virtual Table Limitations
-
-Before disccusing virtual keyspaces and tables, note that virtual keyspaces and tables have some limitations. 
-These limitations are subject to change.
-Virtual keyspaces cannot be altered or dropped. 
-In fact, no operations can be performed against virtual keyspaces.
-
-Virtual tables cannot be created in virtual keyspaces.
-Virtual tables cannot be altered, dropped, or truncated.
-Secondary indexes, types, functions, aggregates, materialized views, and triggers cannot be created for virtual tables.
-Expiring time-to-live (TTL) columns cannot be created.
-Virtual tables do not support conditional updates or deletes.
-Aggregates may be run in SELECT statements.
-
-Conditional batch statements cannot include mutations for virtual tables, nor can a virtual table statement be included in a logged batch.
-In fact, mutations for virtual and regular tables cannot occur in the same batch table.
-
-== Virtual Tables
-
-Each of the virtual tables in the `system_views` virtual keyspace contain different information.
-
-The following table describes the virtual tables: 
-
-[width="98%",cols="27%,73%",]
-|===
-|Virtual Table |Description
-
-|caches |Displays the general cache information including cache name, capacity_bytes, entry_count, hit_count, hit_ratio double,

-
-=== Clients Virtual Table
-
-The `clients` virtual table lists all active connections (connected
-clients) including their ip address, port, client_options, connection stage, driver
-name, driver version, hostname, protocol version, request count, ssl
-enabled, ssl protocol and user name:

-
-Some examples of how `clients` can be used are:
-
-* To find applications using old incompatible versions of drivers before
-upgrading and with `nodetool enableoldprotocolversions` and
-`nodetool disableoldprotocolversions` during upgrades.
-* To identify clients sending too many requests.
-* To find if SSL is enabled during the migration to and from ssl.
-
-The virtual tables may be described with `DESCRIBE` statement. The DDL
-listed however cannot be run to create a virtual table. As an example
-describe the `system_views.clients` virtual table:
-
-....
-cqlsh> DESCRIBE TABLE system_views.clients;
-
-/*
-Warning: Table system_views.clients is a virtual table and cannot be recreated with CQL.
-Structure, for reference:
-VIRTUAL TABLE system_views.clients (
-  address inet,
-  port int,
-  client_options frozen<map<text, text>>,
-  connection_stage text,
-  driver_name text,
-  driver_version text,
-  hostname text,
-  protocol_version int,
-  request_count bigint,
-  ssl_cipher_suite text,
-  ssl_enabled boolean,
-  ssl_protocol text,
-  username text,
-    PRIMARY KEY (address, port)
-) WITH CLUSTERING ORDER BY (port ASC)
-    AND comment = 'currently connected clients';
-*/
-....
-
-=== Caches Virtual Table
-
-The `caches` virtual table lists information about the caches. The four
-caches presently created are chunks, counters, keys and rows. A query on
-the `caches` virtual table returns the following details:
-
-....
-cqlsh:system_views> SELECT * FROM system_views.caches;
-name     | capacity_bytes | entry_count | hit_count | hit_ratio | recent_hit_rate_per_second | recent_request_rate_per_second | request_count | size_bytes

-
-(4 rows)

-
-=== Settings Virtual Table
-
-The `settings` table is rather useful and lists all the current
-configuration settings from the `cassandra.yaml`. The encryption options
-are overridden to hide the sensitive truststore information or
-passwords. The configuration settings however cannot be set using DML on
-the virtual table presently: :
-
-....
-cqlsh:system_views> SELECT * FROM system_views.settings;
-
-name                                 | value

-  audit_logging_options_enabled      | false
-  auto_snapshot                      | true
-  automatic_sstable_upgrade          | false
-  cluster_name                       | Test Cluster
-  enable_transient_replication       | false
-  hinted_handoff_enabled             | true
-  hints_directory                    | /home/ec2-user/cassandra/data/hints
-  incremental_backups                | false
-  initial_token                      | null

-  start_native_transport             | true
-  storage_port                       | 7000
-  stream_entire_sstables             | true
-  (224 rows)
-....
-
-The `settings` table can be really useful if yaml file has been changed
-since startup and dont know running configuration, or to find if they
-have been modified via jmx/nodetool or virtual tables.
-
-=== Thread Pools Virtual Table
-
-The `thread_pools` table lists information about all thread pools.
-Thread pool information includes active tasks, active tasks limit,
-blocked tasks, blocked tasks all time, completed tasks, and pending
-tasks. A query on the `thread_pools` returns following details:
-
-....
-cqlsh:system_views> select * from system_views.thread_pools;
-

-=== Internode Inbound Messaging Virtual Table
-
-The `internode_inbound` virtual table is for the internode inbound
-messaging. Initially no internode inbound messaging may get listed. In
-addition to the address, port, datacenter and rack information includes
-corrupt frames recovered, corrupt frames unrecovered, error bytes, error
-count, expired bytes, expired count, processed bytes, processed count,
-received bytes, received count, scheduled bytes, scheduled count,
-throttled count, throttled nanos, using bytes, using reserve bytes. A
-query on the `internode_inbound` returns following details:

+= Frequently Asked Questions
+
+[[why-cant-list-all]]
+== Why can't I set `listen_address` to listen on 0.0.0.0 (all my addresses)?
+
+Cassandra is a gossip-based distributed system and `listen_address` is
+the address a node tells other nodes to reach it at. Telling other nodes
+"contact me on any of my addresses" is a bad idea; if different nodes in
+the cluster pick different addresses for you, Bad Things happen.
+
+If you don't want to manually specify an IP to `listen_address` for each
+node in your cluster (understandable!), leave it blank and Cassandra
+will use `InetAddress.getLocalHost()` to pick an address. Then it's up
+to you or your ops team to make things resolve correctly (`/etc/hosts/`,
+dns, etc).
+
+One exception to this process is JMX, which by default binds to 0.0.0.0
+(Java bug 6425769).
+
+See `256` and `43` for more gory details.
+
+[[what-ports]]
+== What ports does Cassandra use?
+
+By default, Cassandra uses 7000 for cluster communication (7001 if SSL
+is enabled), 9042 for native protocol clients, and 7199 for JMX. The
+internode communication and native protocol ports are configurable in
+the `cassandra-yaml`. The JMX port is configurable in `cassandra-env.sh`
+(through JVM options). All ports are TCP.
+
+[[what-happens-on-joins]]
+== What happens to existing data in my cluster when I add new nodes?
+
+When a new nodes joins a cluster, it will automatically contact the
+other nodes in the cluster and copy the right data to itself. See
+`topology-changes`.
+
+[[asynch-deletes]]
+== I delete data from Cassandra, but disk usage stays the same. What gives?
+
+Data you write to Cassandra gets persisted to SSTables. Since SSTables
+are immutable, the data can't actually be removed when you perform a
+delete, instead, a marker (also called a "tombstone") is written to
+indicate the value's new status. Never fear though, on the first
+compaction that occurs between the data and the tombstone, the data will
+be expunged completely and the corresponding disk space recovered. See
+`compaction` for more detail.
+
+[[one-entry-ring]]
+== Why does nodetool ring only show one entry, even though my nodes logged that they see each other joining the ring?
+
+This happens when you have the same token assigned to each node. Don't
+do that.
+
+Most often this bites people who deploy by installing Cassandra on a VM
+(especially when using the Debian package, which auto-starts Cassandra
+after installation, thus generating and saving a token), then cloning
+that VM to other nodes.
+
+The easiest fix is to wipe the data and commitlog directories, thus
+making sure that each node will generate a random token on the next
+restart.
+
+[[change-replication-factor]]
+== Can I change the replication factor (a a keyspace) on a live cluster?
+
+Yes, but it will require running a full repair (or cleanup) to change
+the replica count of existing data:
+
+* `Alter <alter-keyspace-statement>` the replication factor for desired
+keyspace (using cqlsh for instance).
+* If you're reducing the replication factor, run `nodetool cleanup` on
+the cluster to remove surplus replicated data. Cleanup runs on a
+per-node basis.
+* If you're increasing the replication factor, run
+`nodetool repair -full` to ensure data is replicated according to the
+new configuration. Repair runs on a per-replica set basis. This is an
+intensive process that may result in adverse cluster performance. It's
+highly recommended to do rolling repairs, as an attempt to repair the
+entire cluster at once will most likely swamp it. Note that you will
+need to run a full repair (`-full`) to make sure that already repaired
+sstables are not skipped. You should use `ConsistencyLevel.QUORUM` or
+`ALL` (depending on your existing replication factor) to make sure that
+a replica that actually has the data is consulted. Otherwise some
+clients potentially being told no data exists until repair is done.
+
+[[can-large-blob]]
+== Can I Store (large) BLOBs in Cassandra?
+
+Cassandra isn't optimized for large file or BLOB storage and a single
+`blob` value is always read and send to the client entirely. As such,
+storing small blobs (less than single digit MB) should not be a problem,
+but it is advised to manually split large blobs into smaller chunks.
+
+Please note in particular that by default, any value greater than 16MiB
+will be rejected by Cassandra due the `max_mutation_size`
+configuration of the `cassandra-yaml` file (which default to half of
+`commitlog_segment_size`, which itself default to 32MiB).
+
+[[nodetool-connection-refused]]
+== Nodetool says "Connection refused to host: 127.0.1.1" for any remote host. What gives?
+
+Nodetool relies on JMX, which in turn relies on RMI, which in turn sets
+up its own listeners and connectors as needed on each end of the
+exchange. Normally all of this happens behind the scenes transparently,
+but incorrect name resolution for either the host connecting, or the one
+being connected to, can result in crossed wires and confusing
+exceptions.
+
+If you are not using DNS, then make sure that your `/etc/hosts` files
+are accurate on both ends. If that fails, try setting the
+`-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=<public name>` JVM option near the bottom of
+`cassandra-env.sh` to an interface that you can reach from the remote
+machine.
+
+[[to-batch-or-not-to-batch]]
+== Will batching my operations speed up my bulk load?
+
+No. Using batches to load data will generally just add "spikes" of
+latency. Use asynchronous INSERTs instead, or use true `bulk-loading`.
+
+An exception is batching updates to a single partition, which can be a
+Good Thing (as long as the size of a single batch stay reasonable). But
+never ever blindly batch everything!
+
+[[selinux]]
+== On RHEL nodes are unable to join the ring
+
+Check if https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security-Enhanced_Linux[SELinux]
+is on; if it is, turn it off.
+
+[[how-to-unsubscribe]]
+== How do I unsubscribe from the email list?
+
+Send an email to `user-unsubscribe@cassandra.apache.org`.
+
+[[cassandra-eats-all-my-memory]]
+== Why does top report that Cassandra is using a lot more memory than the Java heap max?
+
+Cassandra uses https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory-mapped_file[Memory
+Mapped Files] (mmap) internally. That is, we use the operating system's
+virtual memory system to map a number of on-disk files into the
+Cassandra process' address space. This will "use" virtual memory; i.e.
+address space, and will be reported by tools like top accordingly, but
+on 64 bit systems virtual address space is effectively unlimited so you
+should not worry about that.
+
+What matters from the perspective of "memory use" in the sense as it is
+normally meant, is the amount of data allocated on brk() or mmap'd
+/dev/zero, which represent real memory used. The key issue is that for a
+mmap'd file, there is never a need to retain the data resident in
+physical memory. Thus, whatever you do keep resident in physical memory
+is essentially just there as a cache, in the same way as normal I/O will
+cause the kernel page cache to retain data that you read/write.
+
+The difference between normal I/O and mmap() is that in the mmap() case
+the memory is actually mapped to the process, thus affecting the virtual
+size as reported by top. The main argument for using mmap() instead of
+standard I/O is the fact that reading entails just touching memory - in
+the case of the memory being resident, you just read it - you don't even
+take a page fault (so no overhead in entering the kernel and doing a
+semi-context switch). This is covered in more detail
+http://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/wiki/ArchitectNotes[here].
+
+== What are seeds?
+
+Seeds are used during startup to discover the cluster.
+
+If you configure your nodes to refer some node as seed, nodes in your
+ring tend to send Gossip message to seeds more often (also see the
+`section on gossip <gossip>`) than to non-seeds. In other words, seeds
+are worked as hubs of Gossip network. With seeds, each node can detect
+status changes of other nodes quickly.
+
+Seeds are also referred by new nodes on bootstrap to learn other nodes
+in ring. When you add a new node to ring, you need to specify at least
+one live seed to contact. Once a node join the ring, it learns about the
+other nodes, so it doesn't need seed on subsequent boot.
+
+You can make a seed a node at any time. There is nothing special about
+seed nodes. If you list the node in seed list it is a seed
+
+Seeds do not auto bootstrap (i.e. if a node has itself in its seed list
+it will not automatically transfer data to itself) If you want a node to
+do that, bootstrap it first and then add it to seeds later. If you have
+no data (new install) you do not have to worry about bootstrap at all.
+
+Recommended usage of seeds:
+
+* pick two (or more) nodes per data center as seed nodes.
+* sync the seed list to all your nodes
+
+[[are-seeds-SPOF]]
+== Does single seed mean single point of failure?
+
+The ring can operate or boot without a seed; however, you will not be
+able to add new nodes to the cluster. It is recommended to configure
+multiple seeds in production system.
+
+[[cant-call-jmx-method]]
+== Why can't I call jmx method X on jconsole?
+
+Some of JMX operations use array argument and as jconsole doesn't
+support array argument, those operations can't be called with jconsole
+(the buttons are inactive for them). You need to write a JMX client to
+call such operations or need array-capable JMX monitoring tool.
+
+[[why-message-dropped]]
+== Why do I see "... messages dropped ..." in the logs?
+
+This is a symptom of load shedding -- Cassandra defending itself against
+more requests than it can handle.
+
+Internode messages which are received by a node, but do not get not to
+be processed within their proper timeout (see `read_request_timeout`,
+`write_request_timeout`, ... in the `cassandra-yaml`), are dropped
+rather than processed (since the as the coordinator node will no longer
+be waiting for a response).
+
+For writes, this means that the mutation was not applied to all replicas
+it was sent to. The inconsistency will be repaired by read repair, hints
+or a manual repair. The write operation may also have timeouted as a
+result.
+
+For reads, this means a read request may not have completed.
+
+Load shedding is part of the Cassandra architecture, if this is a
+persistent issue it is generally a sign of an overloaded node or
+cluster.
+
+[[oom-map-failed]]
+== Cassandra dies with `java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Map failed`
+
+If Cassandra is dying *specifically* with the "Map failed" message, it
+means the OS is denying java the ability to lock more memory. In linux,
+this typically means memlock is limited. Check
+`/proc/<pid of cassandra>/limits` to verify this and raise it (eg, via
+ulimit in bash). You may also need to increase `vm.max_map_count.` Note
+that the debian package handles this for you automatically.
+
+[[what-on-same-timestamp-update]]
+== What happens if two updates are made with the same timestamp?
+
+Updates must be commutative, since they may arrive in different orders
+on different replicas. As long as Cassandra has a deterministic way to
+pick the winner (in a timestamp tie), the one selected is as valid as
+any other, and the specifics should be treated as an implementation
+detail. That said, in the case of a timestamp tie, Cassandra follows two
+rules: first, deletes take precedence over inserts/updates. Second, if
+there are two updates, the one with the lexically larger value is
+selected.
+
+[[why-bootstrapping-stream-error]]
+== Why bootstrapping a new node fails with a "Stream failed" error?
+
+Two main possibilities:
+
+. the GC may be creating long pauses disrupting the streaming process
+. compactions happening in the background hold streaming long enough
+that the TCP connection fails
+
+In the first case, regular GC tuning advices apply. In the second case,
+you need to set TCP keepalive to a lower value (default is very high on
+Linux). Try to just run the following:
+
+....
+$ sudo /sbin/sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time=60 net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_intvl=60 net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_probes=5
+....
+
+To make those settings permanent, add them to your `/etc/sysctl.conf`
+file.
+
+Note: https://cloud.google.com/compute/[GCE]'s firewall will always
+interrupt TCP connections that are inactive for more than 10 min.
+Running the above command is highly recommended in that environment.

+= Support for Java 11
+
+In the new Java release cadence a new Java version is made available
+every six months. The more frequent release cycle is favored as it
+brings new Java features to the developers as and when they are
+developed without the wait that the earlier 3 year release model
+incurred. Not every Java version is a Long Term Support (LTS) version.
+After Java 8 the next LTS version is Java 11. Java 9, 10, 12 and 13 are
+all non-LTS versions.
+
+One of the objectives of the Apache Cassandra 4.0 version is to support
+the recent LTS Java versions 8 and 11
+(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9608[CASSANDRA-9608]).
+Java 8 and Java 11 may be used to build and run Apache Cassandra 4.0. Effective Cassandra
+4.0.2 there is full Java 11 support, it is not experimental anymore.
+
+== Support Matrix
+
+The support matrix for the Java versions for compiling and running
+Apache Cassandra 4.0 is detailed in Table 1. The build version is along
+the vertical axis and the run version is along the horizontal axis.
+
+Table 1 : Support Matrix for Java
+
+[width="68%",cols="34%,30%,36%",]
+|===
+| |Java 8 (Run) |Java 11 (Run)
+|Java 8 (Build) |Supported |Supported
+|Java 11(Build) |Not Supported |Experimental
+|===
+
+Apache 4.0 source code built with Java 11 cannot be run with
+Java 8.
+
+All binary releases are built with Java 8.
+
+Next, we shall discuss using each of Java 8 and 11 to build and
+run Apache Cassandra 4.0.
+
+== Using Java 8 to Build
+
+To start with, install Java 8. As an example, for installing Java 8 on
+RedHat Linux the command is as follows:
+
+....
+$ sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel
+....
+
+Set the environment variables `JAVA_HOME` and `PATH`.
+
+....
+$ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk
+$ export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$JRE_HOME/bin
+....
+
+Download and install Apache Cassandra 4.0 source code from the Git along
+with the dependencies.
+
+....
+$ git clone https://github.com/apache/cassandra.git
+....
+
+If Cassandra is already running stop Cassandra with the following
+command.
+
+....
+$ ./nodetool stopdaemon
+....
+
+Build the source code from the `cassandra` directory, which has the
+`build.xml` build script. The Apache Ant uses the Java version set in
+the `JAVA_HOME` environment variable.
+
+....
+$ cd ~/cassandra
+$ ant
+....
+
+Apache Cassandra 4.0 gets built with Java 8. Set the environment
+variable for `CASSANDRA_HOME` in the bash script. Also add the
+`CASSANDRA_HOME/bin` to the `PATH` variable.
+
+....
+$ export CASSANDRA_HOME=~/cassandra
+$ export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$JRE_HOME/bin:$CASSANDRA_HOME/bin
+....
+
+To run Apache Cassandra 4.0 with either of Java 8 or Java 11 run the
+Cassandra application in the `CASSANDRA_HOME/bin` directory, which is in
+the `PATH` env variable.
+
+....
+$ cassandra
+....
+
+The Java version used to run Cassandra gets output as Cassandra is
+getting started. As an example if Java 11 is used, the run output should
+include similar to the following output snippet:
+
+....
+INFO  [main] 2019-07-31 21:18:16,862 CassandraDaemon.java:480 - Hostname: ip-172-30-3-

+....
+
+== Using Java 11 to Build
+
+If Java 11 is used to build Apache Cassandra 4.0, first Java 11 must be
+installed and the environment variables set. As an example, to download
+and install Java 11 on RedHat Linux run the following command.
+
+....
+$ yum install java-11-openjdk-devel
+....
+
+Set the environment variables `JAVA_HOME` and `PATH`.
+
+....
+$ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk
+$ export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$JRE_HOME/bin
+....
+
+The build output should now include the following.

+
+== Common Issues
+
+The Java 11 built Apache Cassandra 4.0 source code may be run with Java

-
-== User mode
-
-User mode allows you to stress your own schemas, to save you time
-in the long run. Find out if your application can scale using stress test with your schema.
-
-=== Profile
-
-User mode defines a profile using YAML. 
-Multiple YAML files may be specified, in which case operations in the ops argument are referenced as
-specname.opname.
-
-An identifier for the profile:
-
-[source,yaml]
-----
-specname: staff_activities
-----
-
-The keyspace for the test:
-
-[source,yaml]
-----
-keyspace: staff
-----
-
-CQL for the keyspace. Optional if the keyspace already exists:
-
-[source,yaml]
-----
-keyspace_definition: |
- CREATE KEYSPACE stresscql WITH replication = {'class': 'SimpleStrategy', 'replication_factor': 3};
-----
-
-The table to be stressed:
-
-[source,yaml]
-----
-table: staff_activities
-----
-
-CQL for the table. Optional if the table already exists:
-
-[source,yaml]
-----
-table_definition: |
-  CREATE TABLE staff_activities (
-      name text,
-      when timeuuid,
-      what text,
-      PRIMARY KEY(name, when, what)
-  ) 
-----
-
-Optional meta-information on the generated columns in the above table.
-The min and max only apply to text and blob types. The distribution
-field represents the total unique population distribution of that column
-across rows:
-
-[source,yaml]
-----
-columnspec:
-  - name: name
-    size: uniform(5..10) # The names of the staff members are between 5-10 characters
-    population: uniform(1..10) # 10 possible staff members to pick from
-  - name: when
-    cluster: uniform(20..500) # Staff members do between 20 and 500 events
-  - name: what
-    size: normal(10..100,50)
-----
-
-Supported types are:
-
-An exponential distribution over the range [min..max]:
-
-[source,yaml]
-----
-EXP(min..max)
-----
-
-An extreme value (Weibull) distribution over the range [min..max]:
-
-[source,yaml]
-----
-EXTREME(min..max,shape)
-----
-
-A gaussian/normal distribution, where mean=(min+max)/2, and stdev is
-(mean-min)/stdvrng:
-
-[source,yaml]
-----
-GAUSSIAN(min..max,stdvrng)
-----
-
-A gaussian/normal distribution, with explicitly defined mean and stdev:
-
-[source,yaml]
-----
-GAUSSIAN(min..max,mean,stdev)
-----
-
-A uniform distribution over the range [min, max]:
-
-[source,yaml]
-----
-UNIFORM(min..max)
-----
-
-A fixed distribution, always returning the same value:
-
-[source,yaml]
-----
-FIXED(val)
-----
-
-If preceded by ~, the distribution is inverted
-
-Defaults for all columns are size: uniform(4..8), population:
-uniform(1..100B), cluster: fixed(1)
-
-Insert distributions:
-
-[source,yaml]
-----
-insert:
-  # How many partition to insert per batch
-  partitions: fixed(1)
-  # How many rows to update per partition
-  select: fixed(1)/500
-  # UNLOGGED or LOGGED batch for insert
-  batchtype: UNLOGGED
-----
-
-Currently all inserts are done inside batches.
-
-Read statements to use during the test:
-
-[source,yaml]
-----
-queries:
-   events:
-      cql: select *  from staff_activities where name = ?
-      fields: samerow
-   latest_event:
-      cql: select * from staff_activities where name = ?  LIMIT 1
-      fields: samerow
-----
-
-Running a user mode test:
-
-[source,yaml]
-----
-cassandra-stress user profile=./example.yaml duration=1m "ops(insert=1,latest_event=1,events=1)" truncate=once
-----
-
-This will create the schema then run tests for 1 minute with an equal
-number of inserts, latest_event queries and events queries. Additionally
-the table will be truncated once before the test.
-
-The full example can be found here:
-[source, yaml]
-----
-include::example$YAML/stress-example.yaml[]
----- 
-
-Running a user mode test with multiple yaml files::::
-  cassandra-stress user profile=./example.yaml,./example2.yaml
-  duration=1m "ops(ex1.insert=1,ex1.latest_event=1,ex2.insert=2)"
-  truncate=once
-This will run operations as specified in both the example.yaml and
-example2.yaml files. example.yaml and example2.yaml can reference the
-same table, although care must be taken that the table definition is identical
- (data generation specs can be different).
-
-=== Lightweight transaction support
-
-cassandra-stress supports lightweight transactions. 
-To use this feature, the command will first read current data from Cassandra, and then uses read values to
-fulfill lightweight transaction conditions.
-
-Lightweight transaction update query:
-
-[source,yaml]
-----
-queries:
-  regularupdate:
-      cql: update blogposts set author = ? where domain = ? and published_date = ?
-      fields: samerow
-  updatewithlwt:
-      cql: update blogposts set author = ? where domain = ? and published_date = ? IF body = ? AND url = ?
-      fields: samerow
-----
-
-The full example can be found here:
-[source, yaml]
-----
-include::example$YAML/stress-lwt-example.yaml[]
-----
-
-== Graphing
-
-Graphs can be generated for each run of stress.
-
-image::example-stress-graph.png[example cassandra-stress graph]
-
-To create a new graph:
-
-[source,yaml]
-----
-cassandra-stress user profile=./stress-example.yaml "ops(insert=1,latest_event=1,events=1)" -graph file=graph.html title="Awesome graph"
-----
-
-To add a new run to an existing graph point to an existing file and add
-a revision name:
-
-[source,yaml]
-----
-cassandra-stress user profile=./stress-example.yaml duration=1m "ops(insert=1,latest_event=1,events=1)" -graph file=graph.html title="Awesome graph" revision="Second run"
-----
-
-== FAQ
-
-*How do you use NetworkTopologyStrategy for the keyspace?*
-
-Use the schema option making sure to either escape the parenthesis or
-enclose in quotes:
-
-[source,yaml]
-----
-cassandra-stress write -schema "replication(strategy=NetworkTopologyStrategy,datacenter1=3)"
-----
-
-*How do you use SSL?*
-
-Use the transport option:
-
-[source,yaml]
-----
-cassandra-stress "write n=100k cl=ONE no-warmup" -transport "truststore=$HOME/jks/truststore.jks truststore-password=cassandra"
-----
-
-*Is Cassandra Stress a secured tool?*
-
-Cassandra stress is not a secured tool. Serialization and other aspects
-of the tool offer no security guarantees.

-= cqlsh: the CQL shell
-
-`cqlsh` is a command-line interface for interacting with Cassandra using CQL (the Cassandra Query Language). 
-It is shipped with every Cassandra package, and can be found in the bin/ directory alongside the cassandra
-executable. 
-`cqlsh` is implemented with the Python native protocol driver, and connects to the single specified node.
-
-== Compatibility
-
-`cqlsh` is compatible with Python 2.7.
-
-In general, a given version of `cqlsh` is only guaranteed to work with the
-version of Cassandra that it was released with. 
-In some cases, `cqlsh` may work with older or newer versions of Cassandra, but this is not
-officially supported.
-
-== Optional Dependencies
-
-`cqlsh` ships with all essential dependencies. However, there are some
-optional dependencies that can be installed to improve the capabilities
-of `cqlsh`.
-
-=== pytz
-
-By default, `cqlsh` displays all timestamps with a UTC timezone. 
-To support display of timestamps with another timezone, install
-the http://pytz.sourceforge.net/[pytz] library. 
-See the `timezone` option in xref:cql/tools/cqlsh.adoc#cqlshrc[cqlshrc] for specifying a timezone to
-use.
-
-=== cython
-
-The performance of cqlsh's `COPY` operations can be improved by
-installing http://cython.org/[cython]. This will compile the python
-modules that are central to the performance of `COPY`.
-
-[[cqlshrc]]
-== cqlshrc
-
-The `cqlshrc` file holds configuration options for `cqlsh`. 
-By default, the file is locagted the user's home directory at `~/.cassandra/cqlsh`, but a
-custom location can be specified with the `--cqlshrc` option.
-
-Example config values and documentation can be found in the
-`conf/cqlshrc.sample` file of a tarball installation. 
-You can also view the latest version of the
-https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/conf/cqlshrc.sample[cqlshrc file online].
-
-[[cql_history]]
-== cql history
-
-All CQL commands you execute are written to a history file. By default, CQL history will be written to `~/.cassandra/cql_history`. You can change this default by setting the environment variable `CQL_HISTORY` like `~/some/other/path/to/cqlsh_history` where `cqlsh_history` is a file. All parent directories to history file will be created if they do not exist. If you do not want to persist history, you can do so by setting CQL_HISTORY to /dev/null.
-This feature is supported from Cassandra 4.1.
-

-
-== Special Commands
-
-In addition to supporting regular CQL statements, `cqlsh` also supports a
-number of special commands that are not part of CQL. These are detailed
-below.
-
-=== `CONSISTENCY`
-
-`Usage`: `CONSISTENCY <consistency level>`
-
-Sets the consistency level for operations to follow. Valid arguments
-include:
-
-* `ANY`
-* `ONE`
-* `TWO`
-* `THREE`
-* `QUORUM`
-* `ALL`
-* `LOCAL_QUORUM`
-* `LOCAL_ONE`
-* `SERIAL`
-* `LOCAL_SERIAL`
-
-=== `SERIAL CONSISTENCY`
-
-`Usage`: `SERIAL CONSISTENCY <consistency level>`
-
-Sets the serial consistency level for operations to follow. Valid
-arguments include:
-
-* `SERIAL`
-* `LOCAL_SERIAL`
-
-The serial consistency level is only used by conditional updates
-(`INSERT`, `UPDATE` and `DELETE` with an `IF` condition). For those, the
-serial consistency level defines the consistency level of the serial
-phase (or “paxos” phase) while the normal consistency level defines the
-consistency for the “learn” phase, i.e. what type of reads will be
-guaranteed to see the update right away. For example, if a conditional
-write has a consistency level of `QUORUM` (and is successful), then a
-`QUORUM` read is guaranteed to see that write. But if the regular
-consistency level of that write is `ANY`, then only a read with a
-consistency level of `SERIAL` is guaranteed to see it (even a read with
-consistency `ALL` is not guaranteed to be enough).
-
-=== `SHOW VERSION`
-
-Prints the `cqlsh`, Cassandra, CQL, and native protocol versions in use.
-Example:
-
-[source,none]
-----
-cqlsh> SHOW VERSION
-[cqlsh 5.0.1 | Cassandra 3.8 | CQL spec 3.4.2 | Native protocol v4]
-----
-
-=== `SHOW HOST`
-
-Prints the IP address and port of the Cassandra node that `cqlsh` is
-connected to in addition to the cluster name. Example:
-
-[source,none]
-----
-cqlsh> SHOW HOST
-Connected to Prod_Cluster at 192.0.0.1:9042.
-----
-
-=== `SHOW SESSION`
-
-Pretty prints a specific tracing session.
-
-`Usage`: `SHOW SESSION <session id>`
-
-Example usage:
-
-[source,none]
-----
-cqlsh> SHOW SESSION 95ac6470-327e-11e6-beca-dfb660d92ad8
-
-Tracing session: 95ac6470-327e-11e6-beca-dfb660d92ad8

-...
-----
-
-=== `SOURCE`
-
-Reads the contents of a file and executes each line as a CQL statement
-or special cqlsh command.
-
-`Usage`: `SOURCE <string filename>`
-
-Example usage:
-
-[source,none]
-----
-cqlsh> SOURCE '/home/calvinhobbs/commands.cql'
-----
-
-=== `CAPTURE`
-
-Begins capturing command output and appending it to a specified file.
-Output will not be shown at the console while it is captured.
-
-`Usage`:
-
-[source,none]
-----
-CAPTURE '<file>';
-CAPTURE OFF;
-CAPTURE;
-----
-
-That is, the path to the file to be appended to must be given inside a
-string literal. The path is interpreted relative to the current working
-directory. The tilde shorthand notation (`'~/mydir'`) is supported for
-referring to `$HOME`.
-
-Only query result output is captured. Errors and output from cqlsh-only
-commands will still be shown in the cqlsh session.
-
-To stop capturing output and show it in the cqlsh session again, use
-`CAPTURE OFF`.
-
-To inspect the current capture configuration, use `CAPTURE` with no
-arguments.
-
-=== `HELP`
-
-Gives information about cqlsh commands. To see available topics, enter
-`HELP` without any arguments. To see help on a topic, use
-`HELP <topic>`. Also see the `--browser` argument for controlling what
-browser is used to display help.
-
-=== `TRACING`
-
-Enables or disables tracing for queries. When tracing is enabled, once a
-query completes, a trace of the events during the query will be printed.
-
-`Usage`:
-
-[source,none]
-----
-TRACING ON
-TRACING OFF
-----
-
-=== `PAGING`
-
-Enables paging, disables paging, or sets the page size for read queries.
-When paging is enabled, only one page of data will be fetched at a time
-and a prompt will appear to fetch the next page. Generally, it's a good
-idea to leave paging enabled in an interactive session to avoid fetching
-and printing large amounts of data at once.
-
-`Usage`:
-
-[source,none]
-----
-PAGING ON
-PAGING OFF
-PAGING <page size in rows>
-----
-
-=== `EXPAND`
-
-Enables or disables vertical printing of rows. Enabling `EXPAND` is
-useful when many columns are fetched, or the contents of a single column
-are large.
-
-`Usage`:
-
-[source,none]
-----
-EXPAND ON
-EXPAND OFF
-----
-
-=== `LOGIN`
-
-Authenticate as a specified Cassandra user for the current session.
-
-`Usage`:
-
-[source,none]
-----
-LOGIN <username> [<password>]
-----
-
-=== `EXIT`
-
-Ends the current session and terminates the cqlsh process.
-
-`Usage`:
-
-[source,none]
-----
-EXIT
-QUIT
-----
-
-=== `CLEAR`
-
-Clears the console.
-
-`Usage`:
-
-[source,none]
-----
-CLEAR
-CLS
-----
-
-=== `DESCRIBE`
-
-Prints a description (typically a series of DDL statements) of a schema
-element or the cluster. This is useful for dumping all or portions of
-the schema.
-
-`Usage`:
-
-[source,none]
-----
-DESCRIBE CLUSTER
-DESCRIBE SCHEMA
-DESCRIBE KEYSPACES
-DESCRIBE KEYSPACE <keyspace name>
-DESCRIBE TABLES
-DESCRIBE TABLE <table name>
-DESCRIBE INDEX <index name>
-DESCRIBE MATERIALIZED VIEW <view name>
-DESCRIBE TYPES
-DESCRIBE TYPE <type name>
-DESCRIBE FUNCTIONS
-DESCRIBE FUNCTION <function name>
-DESCRIBE AGGREGATES
-DESCRIBE AGGREGATE <aggregate function name>
-----
-
-In any of the commands, `DESC` may be used in place of `DESCRIBE`.
-
-The `DESCRIBE CLUSTER` command prints the cluster name and partitioner:
-
-[source,none]
-----
-cqlsh> DESCRIBE CLUSTER
-
-Cluster: Test Cluster
-Partitioner: Murmur3Partitioner
-----
-
-The `DESCRIBE SCHEMA` command prints the DDL statements needed to
-recreate the entire schema. This is especially useful for dumping the
-schema in order to clone a cluster or restore from a backup.
-
-=== `COPY TO`
-
-Copies data from a table to a CSV file.
-
-`Usage`:
-
-[source,none]
-----
-COPY <table name> [(<column>, ...)] TO <file name> WITH <copy option> [AND <copy option> ...]
-----
-
-If no columns are specified, all columns from the table will be copied
-to the CSV file. A subset of columns to copy may be specified by adding
-a comma-separated list of column names surrounded by parenthesis after
-the table name.
-
-The `<file name>` should be a string literal (with single quotes)
-representing a path to the destination file. This can also the special
-value `STDOUT` (without single quotes) to print the CSV to stdout.

-= sstablelevelreset
-
-If LeveledCompactionStrategy is set, this script can be used to reset
-level to 0 on a given set of sstables. This is useful if you want to,
-for example, change the minimum sstable size, and therefore restart the
-compaction process using this new configuration.
-
-See
-http://cassandra.apache.org/doc/latest/operating/compaction.html#leveled-compaction-strategy

-
-ref: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5271
-
-== Usage
-
-sstablelevelreset --really-reset <keyspace> <table>
-
-The really-reset flag is required, to ensure this intrusive command is
-not run accidentally.
-
-== Table not found
-
-If the keyspace and/or table is not in the schema (e.g., if you
-misspelled the table name), the script will return an error.
-
-Example:
-
-....
-ColumnFamily not found: keyspace/evenlog.
-....
-
-== Table has no sstables
-
-Example:
-
-....
-Found no sstables, did you give the correct keyspace/table?
-....
-
-== Table already at level 0
-
-The script will not set the level if it is already set to 0.
-
-Example:
-
-....
-Skipped /var/lib/cassandra/data/keyspace/eventlog-65c429e08c5a11e8939edf4f403979ef/mc-1-big-Data.db since it is already on level 0
-....
-
-== Table levels reduced to 0
-
-If the level is not already 0, then this will reset it to 0.
-
-Example:
-
-....
-sstablemetadata /var/lib/cassandra/data/keyspace/eventlog-6365332094dd11e88f324f9c503e4753/mc-8-big-Data.db | grep -i level

+
+`mask_inner('Alice', 2, 1, '\#')` -> `'Al##e'`
+
+| `mask_outer(value, begin, end, [padding])` | Returns a copy of the first `text`, `varchar` or `ascii` argument, replacing the first and last character by a padding character. The 2nd and 3rd arguments are the size of the exposed prefix and suffix. The optional 4th argument is the padding character, `\*` by default.
+
+Examples:
+
+`mask_outer('Alice', 1, 2)` -> `'*li**'`
+
+`mask_outer('Alice', 1, null)` -> `'*lice'`
+
+`mask_outer('Alice', null, 2)` -> `'Ali**'`
+
+`mask_outer('Alice', 2, 1, '\#')` -> `'##ic#'`

+          the data objects stored in the cluster. Use in one of the following ways:
+
+        DESCRIBE KEYSPACES
+
+          Output the names of all keyspaces.
+
+        DESCRIBE KEYSPACE [<keyspacename>]
+
+          Output CQL commands that could be used to recreate the given keyspace,
+          and the objects in it (such as tables, types, functions, etc.).
+          In some cases, as the CQL interface matures, there will be some metadata
+          about a keyspace that is not representable with CQL. That metadata will not be shown.
+          The '<keyspacename>' argument may be omitted, in which case the current
+          keyspace will be described.
+
+        DESCRIBE TABLES
+
+          Output the names of all tables in the current keyspace, or in all
+          keyspaces if there is no current keyspace.
+
+        DESCRIBE TABLE [<keyspace>.]<tablename>
+
+          Output CQL commands that could be used to recreate the given table.
+          In some cases, as above, there may be table metadata which is not
+          representable and which will not be shown.
+
+        DESCRIBE INDEX <indexname>
+
+          Output the CQL command that could be used to recreate the given index.
+          In some cases, there may be index metadata which is not representable
+          and which will not be shown.
+
+        DESCRIBE MATERIALIZED VIEW <viewname>
+
+          Output the CQL command that could be used to recreate the given materialized view.
+          In some cases, there may be materialized view metadata which is not representable
+          and which will not be shown.
+
+        DESCRIBE CLUSTER
+
+          Output information about the connected Cassandra cluster, such as the
+          cluster name, and the partitioner and snitch in use. When you are
+          connected to a non-system keyspace, also shows endpoint-range
+          ownership information for the Cassandra ring.
+
+        DESCRIBE [FULL] SCHEMA
+
+          Output CQL commands that could be used to recreate the entire (non-system) schema.
+          Works as though "DESCRIBE KEYSPACE k" was invoked for each non-system keyspace
+          k. Use DESCRIBE FULL SCHEMA to include the system keyspaces.
+
+        DESCRIBE TYPES
+
+          Output the names of all user-defined-types in the current keyspace, or in all
+          keyspaces if there is no current keyspace.
+
+        DESCRIBE TYPE [<keyspace>.]<type>
+
+          Output the CQL command that could be used to recreate the given user-defined-type.
+
+        DESCRIBE FUNCTIONS
+
+          Output the names of all user-defined-functions in the current keyspace, or in all
+          keyspaces if there is no current keyspace.
+
+        DESCRIBE FUNCTION [<keyspace>.]<function>
+
+          Output the CQL command that could be used to recreate the given user-defined-function.
+
+        DESCRIBE AGGREGATES
+
+          Output the names of all user-defined-aggregates in the current keyspace, or in all
+          keyspaces if there is no current keyspace.
+
+        DESCRIBE AGGREGATE [<keyspace>.]<aggregate>
+
+          Output the CQL command that could be used to recreate the given user-defined-aggregate.
+
+        DESCRIBE <objname>
+
+          Output CQL commands that could be used to recreate the entire object schema,

-# In fixed-width output devices, Latin characters all occupy a single
-# "cell" position of equal width, whereas ideographic CJK characters
-# occupy two such cells. Interoperability between terminal-line
-# applications and (teletype-style) character terminals using the
-# UTF-8 encoding requires agreement on which character should advance
-# the cursor by how many cell positions. No established formal
-# standards exist at present on which Unicode character shall occupy
-# how many cell positions on character terminals. These routines are
-# a first attempt of defining such behavior based on simple rules
-# applied to data provided by the Unicode Consortium.
-#
-# For some graphical characters, the Unicode standard explicitly
-# defines a character-cell width via the definition of the East Asian
-# FullWidth (F), Wide (W), Half-width (H), and Narrow (Na) classes.
-# In all these cases, there is no ambiguity about which width a
-# terminal shall use. For characters in the East Asian Ambiguous (A)
-# class, the width choice depends purely on a preference of backward
-# compatibility with either historic CJK or Western practice.
-# Choosing single-width for these characters is easy to justify as
-# the appropriate long-term solution, as the CJK practice of
-# displaying these characters as double-width comes from historic
-# implementation simplicity (8-bit encoded characters were displayed
-# single-width and 16-bit ones double-width, even for Greek,
-# Cyrillic, etc.) and not any typographic considerations.
-#
-# Much less clear is the choice of width for the Not East Asian
-# (Neutral) class. Existing practice does not dictate a width for any
-# of these characters. It would nevertheless make sense
-# typographically to allocate two character cells to characters such
-# as for instance EM SPACE or VOLUME INTEGRAL, which cannot be
-# represented adequately with a single-width glyph. The following
-# routines at present merely assign a single-cell width to all
-# neutral characters, in the interest of simplicity. This is not
-# entirely satisfactory and should be reconsidered before
-# establishing a formal standard in this area. At the moment, the
-# decision which Not East Asian (Neutral) characters should be
-# represented by double-width glyphs cannot yet be answered by
-# applying a simple rule from the Unicode database content. Setting
-# up a proper standard for the behavior of UTF-8 character terminals
-# will require a careful analysis not only of each Unicode character,
-# but also of each presentation form, something the author of these
-# routines has avoided to do so far.

-/**
- * Binary format of {@code RowIndexEntry} is defined as follows:
- * {@code
- * (long) position (64 bit long, vint encoded)
- *  (int) serialized size of data that follows (32 bit int, vint encoded)
- * -- following for indexed entries only (so serialized size > 0)
- *  (int) DeletionTime.localDeletionTime
- * (long) DeletionTime.markedForDeletionAt
- *  (int) number of IndexInfo objects (32 bit int, vint encoded)
- *    (*) serialized IndexInfo objects, see below
- *    (*) offsets of serialized IndexInfo objects, since version "ma" (3.0)
- *        Each IndexInfo object's offset is relative to the first IndexInfo object.
- * }
- * <p>
- * See {@link IndexInfo} for a description of the serialized format.
- * </p>
- *
- * <p>
- * For each partition, the layout of the index file looks like this:
- * </p>
- * <ol>
- *     <li>partition key - prefixed with {@code short} length</li>
- *     <li>serialized {@code RowIndexEntry} objects</li>
- * </ol>
- *
- * <p>
- *     Generally, we distinguish between index entries that have <i>index
- *     samples</i> (list of {@link IndexInfo} objects) and those who don't.
- *     For each <i>portion</i> of data for a single partition in the data file,
- *     an index sample is created. The size of that <i>portion</i> is defined
- *     by {@link org.apache.cassandra.config.Config#column_index_size}.
- * </p>
- * <p>
- *     Index entries with less than 2 index samples, will just store the
- *     position in the data file.
- * </p>
- * <p>
- *     Note: legacy sstables for index entries are those sstable formats that
- *     do <i>not</i> have an offsets table to index samples ({@link IndexInfo}
- *     objects). These are those sstables created on Cassandra versions
- *     earlier than 3.0.
- * </p>
- * <p>
- *     For index entries with index samples we store the index samples
- *     ({@link IndexInfo} objects). The bigger the partition, the more
- *     index samples are created. Since a huge amount of index samples
- *     will "pollute" the heap and cause huge GC pressure, Cassandra 3.6
- *     (CASSANDRA-11206) distinguishes between index entries with an
- *     "acceptable" amount of index samples per partition and those
- *     with an "enormous" amount of index samples. The barrier
- *     is controlled by the configuration parameter
- *     {@link org.apache.cassandra.config.Config#column_index_cache_size}.
- *     Index entries with a total serialized size of index samples up to
- *     {@code column_index_cache_size} will be held in an array.
- *     Index entries exceeding that value will always be accessed from
- *     disk.
- * </p>
- * <p>
- *     This results in these classes:
- * </p>
- * <ul>
- *     <li>{@link RowIndexEntry} just stores the offset in the data file.</li>
- *     <li>{@link IndexedEntry} is for index entries with index samples
- *     and used for both current and legacy sstables, which do not exceed
- *     {@link org.apache.cassandra.config.Config#column_index_cache_size}.</li>
- *     <li>{@link ShallowIndexedEntry} is for index entries with index samples
- *     that exceed {@link org.apache.cassandra.config.Config#column_index_cache_size}
- *     for sstables with an offset table to the index samples.</li>
- * </ul>
- * <p>
- *     Since access to index samples on disk (obviously) requires some file
- *     reader, that functionality is encapsulated in implementations of
- *     {@link IndexInfoRetriever}. There is an implementation to access
- *     index samples of legacy sstables (without the offsets table),
- *     an implementation of access sstables with an offsets table.
- * </p>
- * <p>
- *     Until now (Cassandra 3.x), we still support reading from <i>legacy</i> sstables -
- *     i.e. sstables created by Cassandra &lt; 3.0 (see {@link org.apache.cassandra.io.sstable.format.big.BigFormat}.

+     *     - zero or more exponent bytes (as given by length)

+     * Constructs a byte-comparable representation of the number in the legacy format.
+     * We represent it as
+     *    <zero or more length_bytes where length = 128> <length_byte> <first_significant_byte> <zero or more bytes>
+     * where a length_byte is:
+     *    - 0x80 + (length - 1) for positive numbers (so that longer length sorts bigger)
+     *    - 0x7F - (length - 1) for negative numbers (so that longer length sorts smaller)
+     *
+     * Because we include the sign in the length byte:
+     * - unlike fixed-length ints, we don't need to sign-invert the first significant byte,
+     * - unlike BigInteger, we don't need to include 0x00 prefix for positive integers whose first byte is >= 0x80
+     *   or 0xFF prefix for negative integers whose first byte is < 0x80.
+     *
+     * The representations are prefix-free, because representations of different length always have length bytes that
+     * differ.
+     *
+     * Examples:
+     *    0             as 8000
+     *    1             as 8001
+     *    127           as 807F
+     *    255           as 80FF
+     *    2^31-1        as 837FFFFFFF
+     *    2^31          as 8380000000

 ```
 
 Note that the database will only validate the memtable class and its parameters when a configuration needs to be
 instantiated for a table.
 
+## Implementations provided
+
+Cassandra currently comes with three memtable implementations:
+
+- `SkipListMemtable` is the default and matches the memtable format of Cassandra versions up to 4.1. It organizes
+  partitions into a single concurrent skip list.
+- `ShardedSkipListMemtable` splits the partition skip-list into several independent skip-lists each covering a roughly
+  equal part of the token space served by this node. This reduces congestion of the skip-list from concurrent writes and
+  can lead to improved write throughput. Its configuration takes two parameters:
+  - `shards`: the number of shards to split into, defaulting to the number of CPU cores on the machine.
+  - `serialize_writes`: if false (default), each shard may serve multiple writes in parallel; if true, writes to each
+    shard are synchronized.
+- `TrieMemtable` is a novel solution that organizes partitions into an in-memory trie which places the partition
+  indexing structure in a buffer, off-heap if desired, which significantly improves garbage collection efficiency. It
+  also improves the memtable's space efficiency and lookup performance. Its configuration can take a single parameter
+  `shards` as above.
+
 ## Memtable selection
 
 Once a configuration has been defined, it can be used by specifying it in the `memtable` parameter of a `CREATE TABLE`

-     * value seen, null excluded. In other words, having a non-null value for a component in those min/max clustering

-     * However, we can use those values if we can guarantee that no clustering in the sstable 1) is a true prefix and

-     * {@link Clustering} which is always "full" (all components are always present). As for null values, we happen to

-     * <p>
-     * Note that the information we currently have at our disposal make this condition less precise that it could be.
-     * In particular, {@link SSTableReader#mayHaveTombstones} could return {@code true} (making us not use the stats)

+     *
+     * The most straightforward way to implement merging of iterators is to use a {@code PriorityQueue},
+     * {@code poll} it to find the next item to consume, then {@code add} the iterator back after advancing.
+     * This is not very efficient as {@code poll} and {@code add} in all cases require at least
+     * {@code log(size)} comparisons and swaps (usually more than {@code 2*log(size)}) per consumed item, even
+     * if the input is suitable for fast iteration.
+     *
+     * The implementation below makes use of the fact that replacing the top element in a binary heap can be
+     * done much more efficiently than separately removing it and placing it back, especially in the cases where
+     * the top iterator is to be used again very soon (e.g. when there are large sections of the output where
+     * only a limited number of input iterators overlap, which is normally the case in many practically useful
+     * situations, e.g. levelled compaction).
+     *
+     * The implementation builds and maintains a binary heap of sources (stored in an array), where we do not
+     * add items after the initial construction. Instead we advance the smallest element (which is at the top
+     * of the heap) and push it down to find its place for its new position. Should this source be exhausted,
+     * we swap it with the last source in the heap and proceed by pushing that down in the heap.
+     *
+     * In the case where we have multiple sources with matching positions, the merging algorithm
+     * must be able to merge all equal values. To achieve this {@code content} walks the heap to
+     * find all equal cursors without advancing them, and separately {@code advance} advances
+     * all equal sources and restores the heap structure.
+     *
+     * The latter is done equivalently to the process of initial construction of a min-heap using back-to-front
+     * heapification as done in the classic heapsort algorithm. It only needs to heapify subheaps whose top item
+     * is advanced (i.e. one whose position matches the current), and we can do that recursively from
+     * bottom to top. Should a source be exhausted when advancing, it can be thrown away by swapping in the last
+     * source in the heap (note: we must be careful to advance that source too if required).
+     *
+     * To make it easier to advance efficienty in single-sourced branches of tries, we extract the current smallest
+     * cursor (the head) separately, and start any advance with comparing that to the heap's first. When the smallest
+     * cursor remains the same (e.g. in branches coming from a single source) this makes it possible to advance with
+     * just one comparison instead of two at the expense of increasing the number by one in the general case.
+     *
+     * Note: This is a simplification of the MergeIterator code from CASSANDRA-8915, without the leading ordered
+     * section and equalParent flag since comparisons of cursor positions are cheap.

+    TRIE FORMAT AND NODE TYPES
+
+    The memtable trie uses five different types of nodes:
+     - "leaf" nodes, which have content and no children;
+     - single-transition "chain" nodes, which have exactly one child; while each node is a single transition, they are
+       called "chain" because multiple such transition are packed in a block.
+     - "sparse" nodes which have between two and six children;
+     - "split" nodes for anything above six children;
+     - "prefix" nodes that augment one of the other types (except leaf) with content.
+
+    The data for all nodes except leaf ones is stored in a contiguous 'node buffer' and laid out in blocks of 32 bytes.
+    A block only contains data for a single type of node, but there is no direct correspondence between block and node
+    in that:
+     - a single block can contain multiple "chain" nodes.
+     - a sparse node occupies exactly one block.
+     - a split node occupies a variable number of blocks.
+     - a prefix node can be placed in the same block as the node it augments, or in a separate block.
+
+    Nodes are referenced in that buffer by an integer position/pointer, the 'node pointer'. Note that node pointers are
+    not pointing at the beginning of blocks, and we call 'pointer offset' the offset of the node pointer to the block it
+    points into. The value of a 'node pointer' is used to decide what kind of node is pointed:
+
+     - If the pointer is negative, we have a leaf node. Since a leaf has no children, we need no data outside of its
+       content to represent it, and that content is stored in a 'content list', not in the nodes buffer. The content
+       of a particular leaf node is located at the ~pointer position in the content list (~ instead of - so that -1 can
+       correspond to position 0).
+
+     - If the 'pointer offset' is smaller than 28, we have a chain node with one transition. The transition character is
+       the byte at the position pointed in the 'node buffer', and the child is pointed by:
+       - the integer value at offset 28 of the block pointed if the 'pointer offset' is 27
+       - pointer + 1 (which is guaranteed to have offset smaller than 28, i.e. to be a chain node), otherwise
+       In other words, a chain block contains a sequence of characters that leads to the child whose address is at
+       offset 28. It may have between 1 and 28 characters depending on the pointer with which the block is entered.
+
+     - If the 'pointer offset' is 30, we have a sparse node. The data of a sparse node occupies a full block and is laid
+       out as:
+       - six pointers to children at offsets 0 to 24
+       - six transition characters at offsets 24 to 30
+       - an order word stored in the two bytes at offset 30
+       To enable in-place addition of children, the pointers and transition characters are not stored ordered.
+       Instead, we use an order encoding in the last 2 bytes of the node. The encoding is a base-6 number which
+       describes the order of the transitions (least significant digit being the smallest).
+       The node must have at least two transitions and the transition at position 0 is never the biggest (we can
+       enforce this by choosing for position 0 the smaller of the two transitions a sparse node starts with). This
+       allows iteration over the order word (which divides said word by 6 each step) to finish when the result becomes 0.
+
+     - If the 'pointer offset' is 28, the node is a split one. Split nodes are dense, meaning that there is a direct
+       mapping between a transition character and the address of the associated pointer, and new children can easily be
+       added in place.
+       Split nodes occupy multiple blocks, and a child is located by traversing 3 layers of pointers:
+       - the first pointer is within the top-level block (the one pointed by the pointer) and points to a "mid" block.
+         The top-level block has 4 such pointers to "mid" block, located between offset 16 and 32.
+       - the 2nd pointer is within the "mid" block and points to a "tail" block. A "mid" block has 8 such pointers
+         occupying the whole block.
+       - the 3rd pointer is with the "tail" block and is the actual child pointer. Like "mid" block, there are 8 such
+         pointers (so we finally address 4 * 8 * 8 = 256 children).
+       To find a child, we thus need to know the index of the pointer to follow within the top-level block, the index
+       of the one in the "mid" block and the index in the "tail" block. For that, we split the transition byte in a
+       sequence of 2-3-3 bits:
+       - the first 2 bits are the index in the top-level block;
+       - the next 3 bits, the index in the "mid" block;
+       - and the last 3 bits the index in the "tail" block.
+       This layout allows the node to use the smaller fixed-size blocks (instead of 256*4 bytes for the whole character
+       space) and also leaves some room in the head block (the 16 first bytes) for additional information (which we can
+       use to store prefix nodes containing things like deletion times).
+       One split node may need up to 1 + 4 + 4*8 blocks (1184 bytes) to store all its children.
+
+     - If the pointer offset is 31, we have a prefix node. These are two types:
+       -- Embedded prefix nodes occupy the free bytes in a chain or split node. The byte at offset 4 has the offset
+          within the 32-byte block for the augmented node.
+       -- Full prefix nodes have 0xFF at offset 4 and a pointer at 28, pointing to the augmented node.
+       Both types contain an index for content at offset 0. The augmented node cannot be a leaf or NONE -- in the former
+       case the leaf itself contains the content index, in the latter we use a leaf instead.
+       The term "node" when applied to these is a bit of a misnomer as they are not presented as separate nodes during
+       traversals. Instead, they augment a node, changing only its content. Internally we create a Node object for the
+       augmented node and wrap a PrefixNode around it, which changes the `content()` method and routes all other
+       calls to the augmented node's methods.
+
+     When building a trie we first allocate the content, then create a chain node leading to it. While we only have
+     single transitions leading to a chain node, we can expand that node (attaching a character and using pointer - 1)
+     instead of creating a new one. When a chain node already has a child and needs a new one added we change the type
+     (i.e. create a new node and remap the parent) to sparse with two children. When a six-child sparse node needs a new

+# InMemoryTrie Design
+
+The `InMemoryTrie` is one of the main components of the trie infrastructure, a mutable in-memory trie built for fast
+modification and reads executing concurrently with writes from a single mutator thread.
+
+The main features of its implementation are:
+- full support of the `Trie` interface
+- using nodes of several different types for efficiency
+- support for content on any node, including intermediate (prefix)
+- support for writes from a single mutator thread concurrent with multiple readers
+- maximum trie size of 2GB
+
+
+## Memory layout
+
+One of the main design drivers of the memtable trie is the desire to avoid on-heap storage and Java object management.
+The trie thus implements its own memory management for the structure of the trie (content is, at this time, still given
+as Java objects in a content array). The structure resides in one `UnsafeBuffer` (which can be on or off heap as
+desired) and is broken up in 32-byte "cells" (also called "blocks" in the code), which are the unit of allocation,
+update and reuse.
+
+Like all tries, `InMemoryTrie` is built from nodes and has a root pointer. The nodes reside in cells, but there is no
+1:1 correspondence between nodes and cells - some node types pack multiple in one cell, while other types require
+multiple cells.
+
+### Pointers and node types
+
+A "pointer" is an integer that points to a node in the trie buffer. A pointer specifies the location of the node
+(its starting cell), but also defines the type of node in its 5 lowest-order bits (i.e. the offset within the cell).
+If a pointer has a negative value, it refers to a value in the content array, and implies a leaf node with the specified
+content. Additionally, the special pointer value `NONE` (0) is used to specify "no child". We use 32-bit integers as
+pointers, therefore the size of the trie structure is limited to a little less than 2GB.
+
+For example, the pointer `0x0109E` specifies a node residing in the cell at bytes `0x01080`-`0x0109F` in the buffer
+(specified by the pointers' 27 leading bits), where the node type is `Sparse` (specified by `0x1E` in the last 5 bits).
+
+The pointer `0xFFFFFFF0` specifies a leaf node (being negative), where the content's index is `0xF` (obtained by
+negating all bits of the pointer).
+
+To save space and reduce pointer chasing, we use several different types of nodes that address different common patterns
+in a trie. It is common for a trie to have one or a couple of top levels which have many children, and where it is
+important to make decisions with as few if-then-else branches as possible (served by the `Split` type), another one or
+two levels of nodes with a small number of children, where it is most important to save space as the number of these
+nodes is high (served by the `Sparse` type), and a lot of sequences of single-child nodes containing the trailing bytes
+of the key or of some common key prefix (served by the `Chain` type). Most of the payload/content of the trie resides
+at the leaves, where it makes sense to avoid taking any space for a node (the `Leaf` type), but we must also allow the
+possibility for values to be present in intermediate nodes &mdash; because this is rare, we support it with a special
+`Prefix` type instead of reserving a space for payload in all other node types.
+
+The Split-Sparse-Chain-Leaf/Prefix pattern may repeat several times. For example, we could have these four layers for
+the partition key with some metadata associated with the partition, then for the first component of the clustering key,
+then for the second component etc.
+
+The sections below specify the layout of each supported node type.
+
+#### Leaf nodes
+
+Leaf nodes do not have a corresponding cell in the buffer. Instead, they reference a value (i.e. a POJO in the
+`InMemoryTrie`'s content type) in the content array. The index of the value is specified by `~pointer` (unlike `-x`,
+`~x` allows one to also encode 0 in a negative number).
+
+Leaf nodes have no children, and return the specified value for `content()`.
+
+Example: -1 is a leaf cell with content `contentArray[0]`.
+
+#### `Chain` nodes - single path, multiple transitions in one cell
+
+Chain nodes are one-child nodes. Multiple chain nodes, forming a chain of transitions to one target, can reside in a
+single cell. Chain nodes are identified by the lowest 5 bits of a pointer being between `0x00` and `0x1B`. In addition
+to the type of node, in this case the bits also define the length of the chain &mdash; the difference between
+`0x1C` and the pointer offset specifies the number of characters in the chain.
+
+The simplest chain node has one transition leading to one child and is laid out like this:
+
+offset|content|example
+---|---|---
+00 - 1A|unused|
+1B     |character|41 A
+1C - 1F|child pointer|FFFFFFFF
+
+where the pointer points to the `1B` line in the cell.
+
+Example: The cell `xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxx41 FFFFFFFF` at bytes `0x120`-`0x13F` and
+pointer `0x13B` point to a node with one child with transition `0x41` `A` to a leaf node with content `contentArray[0]`.
+
+Another chain cell, which points to this one, can be added in the same cell by placing a character at offset `1A`. This
+new node is effectively laid out as
+
+offset|content|example
+---|---|---
+00 - 19|unused|
+1A     |character|48 H
+1B - 1F|unused|
+
+where the pointer points to line `1A`. This node has one transition, and the child pointer is implicit as the node's
+pointer plus one.
+
+This can continue until all the bytes in the "unused" area are filled.
+
+Example: The cell `xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xx434841 FFFFFFFF` at bytes `0x120`-`0x13F` and
+pointer `0x139` point to a node with one child with transition `0x43` `C` to a node with one child with transition
+`0x48` `H` to a node with one child with transition `0x41` `A` to a leaf node with content `contentArray[0]`.
+
+offset|content|example
+---|---|---
+00 - 18|unused|
+19     |character|43 C
+1A     |character|48 H
+1B     |character|41 A
+1C - 1F|child pointer|FFFFFFFF
+
+
+In this example `0x13A` and `0x13B` are also valid pointers to the respective chains and could be referenced from other
+nodes (an example will be given below). In any case, the byte pointed directly by the node pointer contains the
+transition byte. The child pointer is either `pointer + 1` (if the lowest 5 pointer bits are less than `0x1B`), or the
+integer stored at `pointer + 1` (if the pointer's last 5 bits are `0x1B`).
+
+![graph](InMemoryTrie.md.g1.svg)
+
+Note: offset `0x00` also specifies a chain node, but the pointer 0 is a special case and care must be taken to ensure no
+28-byte chain node is placed in the cell at bytes `0x00`-`0x1F`.
+
+#### `Sparse` nodes - between 2 and 6 children in one cell
+
+Sparse nodes are used when a node has at least two children, and all pointers and transition characters can fit in one
+cell, which limits the maximum number of children to 6. Their layout is:
+
+offset|content|
+---|---|
+00 - 03|child pointer 0|
+04 - 07|child pointer 1|
+08 - 0B|child pointer 2|
+0C - 0F|child pointer 3|
+10 - 13|child pointer 4|
+14 - 17|child pointer 5|
+18     |character 0|
+19     |character 1|
+1A     |character 2|
+1B     |character 3|
+1C     |character 4|
+1D     |character 5|
+1E - 1F|order word|
+
+where the pointer points to the line `1E` (i.e. the type identifier for a sparse node is `0x1E`).
+
+It is important to note that the pointers and characters are not in order. This is done so that an update to a sparse
+node where a new child is inserted can be done while the previous state of the node is still valid and readable for
+any concurrent readers. Instead, new children are appended, and the order is maintained in the "order word". This word
+is a number whose digits specify the order of the children's transition characters (where higher-order digits specify
+bigger characters) encoded, to be able to fit into a 16-bit word, in base 6. Its number of digits also specifies the
+number of children of the node.
+
+To explain this better, we will give an example of the evolution of a sparse node. Suppose we had the `0x139` node from
+the previous section, and some update needs to attach a second child to that, e.g. with the character `A` and child
+`0x238`.
+
+![graph](InMemoryTrie.md.g2.svg)
+
+To do this, the mutating thread will have to convert the chain node into a sparse by allocating a new cell
+(e.g. `0x240`-`0x25F`) and filling in the sparse node `00000238 0000013A 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 41430000
+00000006` with pointer `0x25E`:
+
+offset|content|example
+---|---|---
+00 - 03|child pointer 0| 00000238
+04 - 07|child pointer 1| 0000013A
+08 - 17|unused|
+18     |character 0| 41 A
+19     |character 1| 43 C
+1A - 1D|unused|
+1E - 1F|order word, always 10| 0006 = 10 (base 6)
+
+This is the smallest kind of sparse node, with just two children. Two-children sparse nodes always
+put their two children in order (we can do this as this does not happen in response to an addition of a new child to
+an existing sparse node, but this is constructed directly) and thus their order word is always 10 (if they were
+not in order, the order word would have to be 01, which would be misinterpreted as the single-digit 1).
+
+This node has two (the number of digits in the order word) children. The first child is at the position specified by the
+least significant digit of the order word, 0. The second child is specified by the second least significant digit, 1.
+
+Suppose we then need to add a new child, using character `0x35` `5` and child `0x33B`. The node will change to `00000238
+0000013A 0000033B 00000000 00000000 00000000 41433500 00000026` and the pointer to it stays the same.
+
+offset|content|example
+---|---|---
+00 - 03|child pointer 0| 00000238
+04 - 07|child pointer 1| 0000013A
+08 - 0B|child pointer 2| 0000033B
+0C - 17|unused|
+18     |character 0| 41 A
+19     |character 1| 43 C
+1A     |character 2| 35 5
+1B - 1D|unused|
+1E - 1F|order word| 0026 = 102 (base 6)
+
+This node has three (the number of digits in the order word) children. The first child is at the position specified by
+the least significant digit of the order word, 2. The second child is specified by the second least significant digit,
+0, and the last child is specified by the leading digit, 1.
+
+Note that because of the ordering of the two children in the smallest sparse node, the digit 0 is always preceded by a
+more-significant 1 in the order word in base 6. Therefore the leading digit of the order word can never be 0 and thus we
+cannot miscount the number of children.
+
+The addition of children can continue until we have 6, for example `00000238 0000013A 0000033B 0000035C 0000037A
+0000041B 41433542 50338129` (pointer `0x25E`) for
+
+offset|content|example
+---|---|---
+00 - 03|child pointer 0| 00000238
+04 - 07|child pointer 1| 0000013A
+08 - 0B|child pointer 2| 0000033B
+0C - 0F|child pointer 3| 0000035C
+10 - 13|child pointer 4| 0000037A
+14 - 17|child pointer 5| 0000041B
+18     |character 0| 41 A
+19     |character 1| 43 C
+1A     |character 2| 35 5
+1B     |character 3| 42 B
+1C     |character 4| 50 P
+1D     |character 5| 33 3
+1E - 1F|order word| 8129 = 413025 (base 6)
+
+Beyond 6 children, a node needs to be converted to split.
+
+#### `Split` nodes - up to 256 children in multiple cells
+
+Split nodes are used to handle the nodes with a large number of children. We can only allocate cells of 32 bytes, thus
+we have to distribute the child transitions among cells in some way that is efficient for reading and updating. The
+method we chose is to construct a "mini-trie" with 2-3-3 bit transitions.
+
+A split node is identified by the `0x1C` offset. The starting cell of a split node has this layout:
+
+offset|content|
+---|---|
+00 - 0F|unused|
+10 - 13|mid-cell for leading 00|
+14 - 17|mid-cell for leading 01|
+18 - 1B|mid-cell for leading 10|
+1C - 1F|mid-cell for leading 11|
+
+(pointers to this node point to the `1C` line) and where each mid-cell contains:
+
+offset|content|
+---|---|
+00 - 03|end-cell for middle 000|
+04 - 07|end-cell for middle 001|
+08 - 0B|end-cell for middle 010|
+0C - 0F|end-cell for middle 011|
+10 - 13|end-cell for middle 100|
+14 - 17|end-cell for middle 101|
+18 - 1B|end-cell for middle 110|
+1C - 1F|end-cell for middle 111|
+
+and end-cell:
+
+offset|content|
+---|---|
+00 - 03|pointer to child for ending 000|
+04 - 07|pointer to child for ending 001|
+08 - 0B|pointer to child for ending 010|
+0C - 0F|pointer to child for ending 011|
+10 - 13|pointer to child for ending 100|
+14 - 17|pointer to child for ending 101|
+18 - 1B|pointer to child for ending 110|
+1C - 1F|pointer to child for ending 111|
+
+In any of the cell or pointer positions we can have `NONE`, meaning that such a child (or block of children) does not
+exist. At minimum, a split node occupies 3 cells (one leading, one mid and one end), and at maximum &mdash;
+`1 + 4 + 4*8 = 37` cells i.e. `1184` bytes. If we could allocate contiguous arrays, a full split node would use `1024`
+bytes, thus this splitting can add ~15% overhead. However, real data often has additional structure that this can make
+use of to avoid creating some of the blocks, e.g. if the trie encodes US-ASCII or UTF-encoded strings where some
+character ranges are not allowed at all, and others are prevalent. Another benefit is that to change a transition while
+preserving the previous state of the node for concurrent readers we have to only copy three blocks and not the entire
+range of children (applications of this will be given later).
+
+As an example, suppose we need to add a `0x51` `Q` transition to `0x455` to the 6-children sparse node from the previous
+section. This will generate the following structure:
+
+Leading cell (e.g. `0x500`-`0x51F` with pointer `0x51C`)
+
+offset|content|example
+---|---|---
+00 - 0F|unused|
+10 - 13|mid-cell for leading 00|0000053C

+18 - 1B|mid-cell for leading 10|00000000 NONE
+1C - 1F|mid-cell for leading 11|00000000 NONE

+
+To find a child in this structure, we follow the transitions along the bits of the mini-trie. For example, for `0x42`
+`B` = `0b01000010` we start at `0x51C`, take the `01` pointer to `0x57C`, then the `000` pointer to `0x59C` and finally
+the `010` index to retrieve the node pointer `0x35C`. Note that the intermediate cells (dashed in the diagram) are not
+reachable with pointers, they only make sense as substructure of the split node.
+

+
+#### Content `Prefix`
+
+Prefix nodes are not nodes in themselves, but they add information to the node they lead to. Specifically, they
+encode an index in the content array, and a pointer to the node to which this content is attached. In anything other
+than the content, they are equivalent to the linked node &mdash; i.e. a prefix node pointer has the same children as
+the node it links to (another way to see this is as a content-carrying node is one that has an _ε_ transition to the
+linked node and no other features except added content). We do not allow more than one prefix to a node (i.e. prefix
+can't point to another prefix), and the child of a prefix node cannot be a leaf.
+
+There are two types of prefixes:
+- standalone, which has a full 32-bit pointer to the linked node
+- embedded, which occupies unused space in `Chain` or `Split` nodes and specifies the 5-bit offset within the same cell
+of the linked node
+
+Standalone prefixes have this layout:
+
+offset|content|example
+---|---|---
+00 - 03|content index|00000001
+04|standalone flag, 0xFF|FF
+05 - 1B|unused|
+1C - 1F|linked node pointer|0000025E
+
+and pointer offset `0x1F`. The sample values above will be the ones used to link a prefix node to our `Sparse`
+example, where a prefix cannot be embedded as all the bytes of the cell are in use.
+
+If we want to attach the same prefix to the `Split` example, we will place this
+
+offset|content|example
+---|---|---
+00 - 03|content index|00000001
+04|embedded offset within cell|1C
+05 - 1F|unused|
+
+_inside_ the leading split cell, with pointer `0x1F`. Since this is an embedded node, the augmented one resides within
+the same cell, and thus we need only 5 bits to encode the pointer (the other 27 are the same as the prefix's).
+The combined content of the cell at `0x500-0x51F` will then be `00000001 1C000000 00000000 00000000 00000520 00000560
+00000000 00000000`:
+
+offset|content|example
+---|---|---
+00 - 03|content index|00000001
+04|embedded offset within cell|1C
+05 - 0F|unused|
+10 - 13|mid-cell for leading 00|00000520
+14 - 17|mid-cell for leading 01|00000560
+18 - 1B|mid-cell for leading 10|00000000 NONE
+1C - 1F|mid-cell for leading 11|00000000 NONE
+
+Both `0x51C` and `0x51F` are valid pointers in this cell. The former refers to the plain split node, the latter to its
+content-augmented version. The only difference between the two is the result of a call to `content()`.
+
+![graph](InMemoryTrie.md.g4.svg)
+
+
+## Reading a trie
+
+`InMemoryTrie` is mainly meant to be used as an implementation of `Trie`. As such, the main method of retrieval of
+information is via some selection (i.e. intersection) of a subtrie followed by a walk over the content in this
+subtrie. Straightforward methods for direct retrieval of data by key are also provided, but they are mainly for testing.
+
+The methods for iterating over and transforming tries are provided by the `Trie` interface and are built on the cursor
+interface implemented by `InMemoryTrie` (see `Trie.md` for a description of cursors).
+
+![graph](InMemoryTrie.md.wc1.svg)
+
+(Edges in black show the trie's structure, and the ones in <span style="color:lightblue">light blue</span> the path the cursor walk takes.)
+
+### Cursors over `InMemoryTrie`
+
+`InMemoryTrie` implements cursors using arrays of integers to store the backtracking state (as the simplest
+possible structure that can be easily walked and garbage collected). No backtracking state is added for `Chain` or 
+`Leaf` nodes and any prefix. For `Sparse` we store the node address, depth and the remainder of the sparse order word.
+That is, we read the sparse order word on entry, peel off the next index to descend and store the remainder. When we 
+backtrack to the node we peel off another index -- if the remainder becomes 0, there are no further children and the 
+backtracking entry can be removed.
+
+For `Split` nodes we store one entry per split node cell. This means:
+- one entry for the head cell with address, depth and next child bits `0bHH000000` where HH is between 1 and 3
+- one entry for the mid cell with address, depth and next child bits `0bHHMMM000` where MMM is between 1 and 7
+- one entry for the tail cell with address, depth and next child bits `0bHHMMMTTT` where TTT is between 1 and 7
+
+On backtracking we recognize the sublevel by the position of the lowest non-zero bit triple. For example, if the last
+three are not `0b000`, this is a tail cell, we can advance in it and use the HHMMM bits to form the transition byte.
+
+This substructure is a little more efficient than storing only one entry for the split node (the head-to-mid and 
+mid-to-tail links do not need to be followed for every new child) and also allows us to easily get the precise next 
+child and remove the backtracking entry when a cell has no further children.
+
+`InMemoryTrie` cursors also implement `advanceMultiple`, which jumps over intermediate nodes in `Chain` blocks:
+
+![graph](InMemoryTrie.md.wc2.svg)
+
+## Mutation
+
+Mutation of `InMemoryTrie` must be done by one thread only (for performance reasons we don't enforce it, the user must
+make sure that's the case), but writes may be concurrent with multiple reads over the data that is being mutated. The
+trie is built to support this by making sure that any modification of a node is safe for any reader that is operating
+concurrently.
+
+The main method for mutating a `InMemoryTrie` is `apply`, which merges the structure of another `Trie` in. 
+`InMemoryTrie` also provides simpler recursive method of modification, `putRecursive`, which creates a single 
+`key -> value` mapping in the trie. We will describe the mutation process starting with a `putRecursive` example.
+
+### Adding a new key -> value mapping using `putRecursive`
+
+Suppose we want to insert the value `traverse` into the trie described in the previous paragraph. The recursive
+insertion process walks the trie to find corresponding existing nodes for the ones in the path to be inserted.
+When it has to leave the existing trie, because it has no entries for the path, the process continues using `NONE` as
+the trie node.
+
+![graph](InMemoryTrie.md.m1.svg)
+
+When it reaches the end of the path, it needs to attach the value. Unless this is a prefix of an existing entry, the 
+matching trie node will either be `NONE` or a leaf node. Here it's `NONE`, so we create a item in the
+content array, `contentArray[3]`, put the value in it, and thus form the leaf node `~3` (`0xFFFFFFFC`). The recursive
+process returns this to the previous step.
+
+The previous step must attach a child with the transition `e` to the node `NONE`. Since this is a new node, we do this
+by creating a new `Chain` node at address `0x0BB` mapping `e` to `~3` and return that. For the node above, we again
+need to attach a child to `NONE`, but this time the child is a `Chain` node, so we can do this by expanding it, i.e.
+writing the new character at the address just before the child pointer, and returning that address (note that the
+child chain node is newly created, so we can't be overwriting any existing data there). We can do this several more
+times.
+
+![graph](InMemoryTrie.md.m2.svg)
+
+(<span style="color:lightblue">Light blue</span> specifies the descent path, <span style="color:pink">pink</span>
+the values returned, <span style="color:blue">blue</span> stands for newly-created nodes and links, and
+<span style="color:lightgray">light gray</span> for obsoleted nodes and links.)
+
+In the next step we must attach the child `0x0B8` with transition `v` to the existing `Chain` node `0x018`. This is a
+different transition from the one that node already has, so the change cannot be accommodated by a node of type `Chain`,
+thus we need to copy this into a new `Sparse` node `0x0DE` with two children, the existing `c -> 0x019` and the new
+`v -> 0x0B8` and return `0x0DE` to the parent step.
+
+The parent step must then change its existing pointer for the character `a` from `0x018` to `0x0DE` which it can do in
+place by writing the new value in its pointer cell for `a`. This is the attachment point for the newly created
+substructure, i.e. before this, the new nodes were not reachable, and now become reachable; before this, the node
+`0x018 ` was reachable, and now becomes unreachable. The attachment is done by a volatile write, to enforce a 
+happens-before relationship that makes sure that all the new substructure (all written by this thread) is fully readable
+by all readers who pass through the new pointer (which is the only way they can reach it). The same happens-before also 
+ensures that any new readers cannot reach the obsoleted nodes (there may be existing reader threads that are already in 
+them).
+
+It can then return its address `0x07E` unchanged up, and no changes need to be done in any of the remaining steps. The
+process finishes in a new value for `root`, which in this case remains unchanged.
+
+![graph](InMemoryTrie.md.m3.svg)
+
+The process created a few new nodes (in blue), and made one obsolete (in grey). What concurrent readers can see depends
+on where they are at the time the attachment point write is done. Forward traversals, if they are in the path below
+`0x07E`, will continue working with the obsoleted data and will not see any of the new changes. If they are above
+`0x07E`, they will see the updated content. If they are _at_ the `0x07E` node, they may see either, depending on the
+time they read the pointer for `a`. Reverse traversals that happen to be in the region to the right of the new nodes
+_will_ see the updated content, as they will read the pointer after it has been updated.
+
+In any case, the obsolete paths remain correct and usable for any thread that has already reached them, and the new
+paths are correct and usable from the moment they become reachable.
+
+Note that if we perform multiple mutations in sequence, and a reader happens to be stalled between them (in iteration
+order), such reader may see only the mutation that is ahead of it _in iteration order_, which is not necessarily the
+mutation that happened first. For the example above, if we also inserted `trespass`, a reader thread that was paused
+at `0x018` in a forward traversal and wakes up after both insertions have completed will see `trespass`, but _will not_
+see `traverse` even though it was inserted earlier.
+
+### In-place modifications
+
+When the backtracking process returns with a new mapping, there are several cases when we can apply a change in place
+(creating an attachment point for the new path). We will explain these in detail, as it is important to understand what
+exactly happens from concurrent readers' point of view in all of them.
+
+Note that if a modification cannot be done in place, we copy the content to a new node. The copied node is always
+unreachable and there will always be an attachment point that makes it reachable somewhere in the parent chain.
+
+#### Changing the child pointer of the last `Chain` node in a chain
+
+This happens when the existing transition matches the transition of the new character, but the pointer is different,
+and only applies to `Chain` nodes whose offset is `0x1B`. In this case the child pointer is written at offset `0x1C`,
+and we can put in the new value by performing a volatile write.
+
+For example, updating `N -> 0x39C` is accomplished by making the volatile write:
+
+offset|content|before|after
+---|---|---|---
+00-1A|irrelevant||
+1B|character|N|N
+1C-1F|pointer|0000031E|_**0000039C**_
+
+(Here and below normal writes are in bold and volatile writes in bold italic.)
+
+Readers have to read the pointer to reach the child (old or new), so this achieves the happens-before guarantees we
+seek. Readers either see the old value (where none of the branch's data has been modified in any way), or the new value
+(where the happens-before guarantees all writes creating the attached substructure are fully visible).
+
+Note that if the node is not the last in the chain, the pointer is implicit and we cannot change it. Thus we have
+to copy, i.e. create a new node, which in this case will also be a `Chain` node, because there is nothing else in the
+original node that needs to be preserved (the only existing transition is replaced by the update).
+
+#### Changing the child pointer of a `Sparse` or `Split` node
+
+Similarly to above, in this case the transition matches an existing one, and thus we already have a 4-byte location
+where the pointer to the old child is written, and we can update it by doing a volatile write.
+
+For example, updating `C -> 0x51E` in a sparse node can be:
+
+offset|content|before|after
+---|---|---|---
+00 - 03|child pointer 0| 00000238|00000238
+04 - 07|child pointer 1| 0000013A|_**0000051E**_
+08 - 0B|child pointer 2| 0000033B|0000033B
+0C - 17|unused|
+18     |character 0| 41 A|41 A
+19     |character 1| 43 C|43 C
+1A     |character 2| 35 5|35 5
+1B - 1D|unused|
+1E - 1F|order word| 0026 = 102 (base 6)
+
+
+#### Adding a new child to `Split`
+
+If we already have the substructure that leads to the pointer for the new transition (i.e. a mid- and end-cell for the
+transition's first 2-3 bits already exists), the situation is as above, where the existing pointer is `NONE`, and we can
+simply perform a volatile write.
+
+If an end-cell mapping does not exist, we allocate a new cleared cell (so that all pointers are `NONE`), write the new
+pointer at its position using a non-volatile write, and then create a mapping to this end-cell in the mid cell by
+volatile writing its pointer over the `NONE` in the correct offset. Similarly, if there's no mid-cell either, we create
+empty end-cell and mid-cell, write pointer in end-cell and mapping in mid-cell non-volatile, and write the mapping in
+the leading cell volatile.
+
+In any of these cases, readers have to pass through the volatile update to reach any of the new content.
+
+For example, to add `x -> 0x71A` (`x` is `0x78` or `0b01111000`) to the split node example needs a new end cell for
+`01 111` (for example at `0x720-0x73F`) (these writes can be non-volatile):
+
+offset|content|before|after
+---|---|---|---
+00 - 03|pointer to child for ending 000|n/a|**0000071A**
+04 - 07|pointer to child for ending 001|n/a|**00000000** NONE
+08 - 0B|pointer to child for ending 010|n/a|**00000000** NONE
+0C - 0F|pointer to child for ending 011|n/a|**00000000** NONE
+10 - 13|pointer to child for ending 100|n/a|**00000000** NONE
+14 - 17|pointer to child for ending 101|n/a|**00000000** NONE
+18 - 1B|pointer to child for ending 110|n/a|**00000000** NONE
+1C - 1F|pointer to child for ending 111|n/a|**00000000** NONE
+
+and this volatile write to the mid cell `0x520`:
+
+offset|content|before|after
+---|---|---|---
+00 - 03|end-cell for middle 000|00000000 NONE|00000000 NONE
+04 - 07|end-cell for middle 001|00000000 NONE|00000000 NONE
+08 - 0B|end-cell for middle 010|00000000 NONE|00000000 NONE
+0C - 0F|end-cell for middle 011|00000000 NONE|00000000 NONE
+10 - 13|end-cell for middle 100|00000000 NONE|00000000 NONE
+14 - 17|end-cell for middle 101|00000000 NONE|00000000 NONE
+18 - 1B|end-cell for middle 110|0000055C|0000055C
+1C - 1F|end-cell for middle 111|00000000 NONE|_**0000073C**_
+
+The start cell, and the other mid and end cells remain unchanged.
+
+#### Adding a new child to `Sparse` with 5 or fewer existing children
+
+The need to maintain a correct view for concurrent readers without blocking is the reason why we cannot keep the
+children in a `Sparse` cell ordered (if we insert ordered, we open ourselves to readers possibly seeing the same pointer
+or child twice, or even going back in the iteration order). Instead we always add new characters and pointers at the
+next free position and then update the order word to include it. More precisely:
+- we find the smallest index `i < 6` for which the pointer is `NONE`
+- we write the transition character at position `i`
+- we write the pointer at position `i` over `NONE` volatile
+- we compile a new order word by inserting `i` after all indexes with greater transition and before all indexes with
+  smaller in the base-6 representation (e.g. to insert `j` in sparse node that has `a@4 f@0 g@2 k@1 q@3` we change the
+  order word `31204` to `315204`) and write it volatile
+
+This ensures that any reader that iterates over children (i.e. one that needs the order word) will have to pass through
+the volatile order word update and will see the correct character and pointer values. Readers who have read the order
+word at some earlier time will not include the new pointer or character in the iteration.
+
+Readers that directly select the child for a given transition must read the pointer for each index _before_ reading the
+character to ensure they can see the properly updated value (otherwise they could match e.g. a `00` transition to the
+new branch because the real character was not written when they read the byte, but the pointer was when they got to it)
+and stop searching when they find a `NONE` pointer.
+
+For example, adding `x -> 0x71A` to the sparse example above is done by:
+
+offset|content|before|after
+---|---|---|---
+00 - 03|child pointer 0| 00000238|00000238
+04 - 07|child pointer 1| 0000051E|0000051E
+08 - 0B|child pointer 2| 0000033B|0000033B
+0C - 0F|child pointer 3|any|_**0000071A**_
+10 - 17|unused|NONE|NONE
+18     |character 0| 41 A|41 A
+19     |character 1| 43 C|43 C
+1A     |character 2| 35 5|35 5
+1B     |character 3| any |**78** x
+1C - 1D|unused|00 00|00 00
+1E - 1F|order word|0026 = 102 (base 6)|_**02AE**_ = 3102 (base 6)
+
+where we first write the character, then volatile write the pointer, and finally the order word.
+
+#### Changing the root pointer
+
+If an update propagates with copying modifications all the way to the root, we must update the root pointer. The latter
+is a volatile variable, so this also enforces the happens-before relationship we need.
+
+### Merging a branch using `apply`
+
+This is a generalization of the mutation procedure above, which applies to more complex branches, where each node may
+potentially need multiple updates to attach more than one child. The process proceeds following the nodes that a cursor
+of the mutation trie produces and we maintain full (i.e. for all nodes in the parent chain) backtracking information in
+an array of integers that contains
+- `existingNode`, the corresponding pointer in the memtable trie,
+- `updatedNode`, the current corresponding pointer in the memtable trie, which may be different from the above if the
+  mutation node is branching and one or more of its children have been already added,
+- `transition`, the incoming edge we took to reach the node.
+
+When we descend, we follow the transitions in the memtable trie corresponding to the ones from an iteration over the
+structure of the mutation trie to obtain the `existingNode` pointers, and initialize `updatedNode` to the same. When the
+iteration processes a child, we apply the update to the node, which may happen in place, or may require copying
+&mdash; in the latter case `updatedNode` will change to the new value. Note that if `updatedNode` was different from
+the original `existingNode`, it was pointing to an unreachable copied node which will remain unreachable as we will only
+attach the newer version.
+
+After all modifications coming as the result of application of child branches have been applied, we have an
+`updatedNode` that reflects all. As we ascend we apply that new value to the parent's `updatedNode`.
+
+For example (adding a trie containing "traverse, truck" to the "tractor, tree, trie" one):
+
+![graph](InMemoryTrie.md.a1.svg)
+
+In this diagram `existingNode`s are the ones reached through the <span style="color:lightblue">light blue</span> arrows during the descent phase (e.g.
+`0x018` for the `ApplyState` at `tra`, or `NONE` for `tru`), and `updatedNode`s are the ones ascent (<span style="color:pink">pink</span> arrows)
+returns with (e.g . `0x0DE` and `0x0FA` for the respective states).
+
+During this process, readers can see any modifications made in place (each in-place modification is an attachment point
+which makes part of the new nodes reachable). The update mechanism above makes sure both that the state before the
+update is preserved, and that the state after the update is fully visible for readers that can reach it, but it does not
+guarantee that the mutation is seen atomically by the readers if it contains multiple separate branches.
+It is possible for a reader to see only a part of the update, for example:
+- a reading thread racing with the mutator can iterate over `traverse` but finish iterating before the mutator
+manages to attach `truck`;
+- a reading thread that iterated to `tree` (while `traverse` was not yet attached) and paused, will see `truck` if the
+mutating thread applies the update during the pause.
+
+### Handling prefix nodes
+
+The descriptions above were given without prefix nodes. Handling prefixes is just a little complication over the update
+process where we must augment `updatedNode` with any applicable content before applying the change to the parent.
+To do this we expand the state tracked to:
+- `existingPreContentNode` which points to the existing node including any prefix,
+- `existingPostContentNode` which is obtained by skipping over the prefix (for simplicity we also treat leaf
+  nodes like a prefix with no child) and is the base for all child updates (i.e. it takes the role of
+  `existingNode` in the descriptions above),
+- `updatedPostContentNode` which is the node as changed/copied after children modifications are applied,
+- `contentIndex` which is the index in the content array for the result of merging existing and newly introduced 
+  content, (Note: The mutation content is only readable when the cursor enters the node, and we can only attach it when
+  we ascend from it.)
+- `transition` remains as before.
+
+and we then attach `contentIndex` to compile an `updatedPreContentNode` which the parent is made to link to. This will
+be equal to `updatedPostContentNode` if no content applies, i.e. `contentIndex == -1`.
+
+("Pre-" and "post-" refer to descent/iteration order, not to construction order; e.g. `updatedPreContentNode` is
+constructed after `updatedPostContentNode` but links above it in the trie.)
+
+As an example, consider the process of adding `trees` to our sample trie:
+
+![graph](InMemoryTrie.md.p1.svg)
+
+When descending at `tree` we set `existingPreContentNode = ~1`, `existingPostContentNode = NONE` and `contentIndex = 1`.
+Ascending back to add the child `~3`, we add a child to `NONE` and get `updatedPostContentNode = 0x0BB`. To then apply
+the existing content, we create the embedded prefix node `updatedPreContentNode = 0x0BF` with `contentIndex = 1` and
+pass that on to the recursion.

+ * issuing the nodes and content from the source. As soon as the right bound becomes strictly smaller, we finish the

+ * We don't explicitly construct tries for the two bounds; tracking the current depth (= prefix length) and transition
+ * as characters are requested from the key is sufficient as it is a trie with just a single descent path. Because we
+ * need the next character to tell if it's been exhausted, we keep these one position ahead. The source is always

+/**
+ * Base class for tries.
+ *
+ * Normal users of tries will only use the public methods, which provide various transformations of the trie, conversion
+ * of its content to other formats (e.g. iterable of values), and several forms of processing.
+ *
+ * For any unimplemented data extraction operations one can build on the {@link TrieEntriesWalker} (for-each processing)
+ * and {@link TrieEntriesIterator} (to iterator) base classes, which provide the necessary mechanisms to handle walking
+ * the trie.
+ *
+ * The internal representation of tries using this interface is defined in the {@link Cursor} interface.
+ *
+ * Cursors are a method of presenting the internal structure of a trie without representing nodes as objects, which is
+ * still useful for performing the basic operations on tries (iteration, slicing/intersection and merging). A cursor
+ * will list the nodes of a trie in order, together with information about the path that was taken to reach them.
+ *
+ * To begin traversal over a trie, one must retrieve a cursor by calling {@link #cursor()}. Because cursors are
+ * stateful, the traversal must always proceed from one thread. Should concurrent reads be required, separate calls to
+ * {@link #cursor()} must be made. Any modification that has completed before the construction of a cursor must be
+ * visible, but any later concurrent modifications may be presented fully, partially or not at all; this also means that
+ * if multiple are made, the cursor may see any part of any subset of them.
+ *
+ * Note: This model only supports depth-first traversals. We do not currently have a need for breadth-first walks.
+ *
+ * See Trie.md for further description of the trie representation model.

+    /**
+     * A trie cursor.
+     *
+     * This is the internal representation of the trie, which enables efficient walks and basic operations (merge,
+     * slice) on tries.
+     *
+     * The cursor represents the state of a walk over the nodes of trie. It provides three main features:
+     * - the current "depth" or descend-depth in the trie;
+     * - the "incomingTransition", i.e. the byte that was used to reach the current point;
+     * - the "content" associated with the current node,
+     * and provides methods for advancing to the next position.  This is enough information to extract all paths, and
+     * also to easily compare cursors over different tries that are advanced together. Advancing is always done in
+     * order; if one imagines the set of nodes in the trie with their associated paths, a cursor may only advance from a
+     * node with a lexicographically smaller path to one with bigger. The "advance" operation moves to the immediate
+     * next, it is also possible to skip over some items e.g. all children of the current node ("skipChildren").
+     *
+     * Moving to the immediate next position in the lexicographic order is accomplished by:
+     * - if the current node has children, moving to its first child;
+     * - otherwise, ascend the parent chain and return the next child of the closest parent that still has any.
+     * As long as the trie is not exhausted, advancing always takes one step down, from the current node, or from a node
+     * on the parent chain. By comparing the new depth (which "advance" also returns) with the one before the advance,
+     * one can tell if the former was the case (if newDepth == oldDepth + 1) and how many steps up we had to take
+     * (oldDepth + 1 - newDepth). When following a path down, the cursor will stop on all prefixes.
+     *
+     * When it is created the cursor is placed on the root node with depth() = 0, incomingTransition() = -1. Since
+     * tries can have mappings for empty, content() can possibly be non-null. It is not allowed for a cursor to start
+     * in exhausted state (i.e. with depth() = -1).
+     *
+     * For example, the following trie:
+     *  t
+     *   r
+     *    e
+     *     e *
+     *    i
+     *     e *
+     *     p *
+     *  w
+     *   i
+     *    n  *
+     * has nodes reachable with the paths
+     *  "", t, tr, tre, tree*, tri, trie*, trip*, w, wi, win*
+     * and the cursor will list them with the following (depth, incomingTransition) pairs:
+     *  (0, -1), (1, t), (2, r), (3, e), (4, e)*, (3, i), (4, e)*, (4, p)*, (1, w), (2, i), (3, n)*
+     *
+     * Because we exhaust transitions on bigger depths before we go the next transition on the smaller ones, when
+     * cursors are advanced together their positions can be easily compared using only the depth and incomingTransition:
+     * - one that is higher in depth is before one that is lower;
+     * - for equal depths, the one with smaller incomingTransition is first.
+     *
+     * If we consider walking the trie above in parallel with this:
+     *  t
+     *   r
+     *    i
+     *     c
+     *      k *
+     *  u
+     *   p *
+     * the combined iteration will proceed as follows:
+     *  (0, -1)+    (0, -1)+               cursors equal, advance both
+     *  (1, t)+     (1, t)+        t       cursors equal, advance both
+     *  (2, r)+     (2, r)+        tr      cursors equal, advance both
+     *  (3, e)+  <  (3, i)         tre     cursors not equal, advance smaller (3 = 3, e < i)
+     *  (4, e)+  <  (3, i)         tree*   cursors not equal, advance smaller (4 > 3)
+     *  (3, i)+     (3, i)+        tri     cursors equal, advance both
+     *  (4, e)   >  (4, c)+        tric    cursors not equal, advance smaller (4 = 4, e > c)

+# `Trie` interface
+
+Tries in Cassandra are used to represent key-value mappings in an efficient way, currently only for the partition map
+in a memtable. The design we use is focussed on performing the equivalent of a read query, being able to most efficiently:
+- combine multiple sources while maintaining order,
+- restrict the combination to a range of keys,
+- efficiently walk the result and extract all covered key-value combinations.
+
+For this the `Trie` interface provides the following public methods:
+- Consuming the content using `forEachValue` or `forEachEntry`.
+- Conversion to iterable and iterator using `values/valuesIterator` and `entrySet/entryIterator`.
+- Getting a view of the subtrie between a given pair of bounds using `subtrie`.
+- Merging two or multiple tries together using `mergeWith` and the static `merge`.
+- Constructing `singleton` tries representing a single key-to-value mapping.
+
+The internal representation of a trie is given by a `Cursor`, which provides a method of walking the nodes of the trie 
+in order, and to which various transformations like merges and intersections can be easily and efficiently applied.
+The sections below detail the motivation behind this design as well as the implementations of the basic operations.
+
+## Walking a trie
+
+Walking a `Trie` is achieved using a cursor. Before we describe it in detail, let's give a quick example of what a
+classic trie walk looks like and how it can be optimized. Suppose we want to walk the following trie:
+
+![graph](InMemoryTrie.md.w1.svg)
+
+(Note: the node labels are `InMemoryTrie` node IDs which can be ignored here, with the exception of `contentArray[x]` 
+ones which specify that the relevant node has some associated content.)
+
+The classic walk descends (<span style="color:lightblue">light blue</span>) on every character and backtracks 
+(<span style="color:pink">pink</span>) to the parent, resulting in the following walk:
+
+![graph](InMemoryTrie.md.w2.svg)
+
+One can see from this graph that many of the backtracking steps are only taken so that they can immediately be followed
+by another backtracking step. We often also know in advance that a node does not need to be examined further on the way
+back: if it only has one child (which is always the case for all nodes in a `Chain`), or if we are descending into 
+its last child (which is easy to check for `Sparse` nodes). This simplifies the walk to:
+
+![graph](InMemoryTrie.md.w3.svg)
+
+In addition to making the walk simpler, shortening the backtracking paths means a smaller walk state representation,
+which is quite helpful in keeping the garbage collection cost down. In this example, the backtracking state of the walk
+at the "tractor" node is only `[("tr", child 2)]`, changes to `[("tr", child 3)]` on descent to "tre", and becomes empty
+(as "tr" has no further children and can be removed) on descent to "tri".  
+
+One further optimization of the walk is to jump directly to the next child without stopping at a branching parent (note:
+the black arrows represent the trie structure):
+
+![graph](InMemoryTrie.md.wc1.svg)
+
+This graph is what a cursor walk over this trie is. Looking closely at the graph, one can see that it stops exactly once
+on each node, and that the nodes are visited in lexicographic order. There is no longer a need for a separate backtrack
+or ascend operation, because all arrows _advance_ in the representation of the trie. However, to be able to understand
+where the next transition character sits in the path, every transition now also comes with information about the
+descend-depth it ends in.
+
+To see how this can be used to map the state to a path, we can imagine an array being filled at its `depth-1`th
+position on every transition, and the current path being the `depth`-long sequence. This, e.g. the array would hold
+[t, r, a, c, t, o, r] at the "tractor" node and change to [t, r, e, c, t, o, r] for the next advance, where the new 
+current path is the first 3 characters of the array.
+
+Cursors are stateful objects that store the backtracking state of the walk. That is, a list of all parent nodes in the
+path to reach the current node that have further children, together with information which child backtracking should go
+to. Cursors do not store paths as these are often not needed &mdash; for example, in a walk over a merged trie it makes 
+better sense for the consumer to construct the path instead of having them duplicated in every source cursor. Multiple 
+cursors can be constructed and operated in parallel over a trie.
+
+Cursor walks of this type are very efficient but still carry enough information to make it very easy and efficient to
+merge and intersect tries. If we are walking a single trie (or a single-source branch in a union trie), we can
+improve the efficiency even further by taking multiple steps down in `Chain` nodes, provided we have a suitable
+mechanism of passing additional transition characters:
+
+![graph](InMemoryTrie.md.wc2.svg)
+
+This is supported by `Cursor.advanceMultiple`.
+
+### Why cursors instead of nodes?
+
+The most straightforward representation of a trie is done by giving users every `Node` visited as an object.
+Then the consumer can query its transitions, get its children, decide to walk over them in any order it sees
+fit, and retain those that it actually needs. This is a very natural and cheap represention if the nodes are actually 
+the objects in memory that represent the trie.
+
+The latter is not the case for us: we store tries in integer blobs or files on disk and we present transformed views of
+tries. Thus every such `Node` object to give to consumers must be constructed. Also, we only do depth-first walks and it 
+does not make that much sense to provide the full flexibility of that kind of interface.
+
+When doing only depth-first walks, a cursor needs far fewer objects to represent its state than a node representation.
+Consider the following for an approach presenting nodes:
+- In a process that requires single-step descends (i.e. in a merge or intersection) the iteration state must create an
+  object for every intermediate node even when they are known to require no backtracking because they have only one
+  child. 
+- Childless final states require a node.
+- A transformation such as a merge must present the result as a transformed node, but it also requires a node for each
+  input. If the transformed node is retained, so must be the sources.
+
+Cursors can represent the first two in their internal state without additional backtracking state, and require only one
+transformed cursor to be constructed for the entire walk. Additionally, cursors' representation of backtracking state 
+may be closely tied to the specific trie implementation, which also gives further improvement opportunities (e.g. the 
+`Split` node treatment in `InMemoryTrie`).
+
+### Why not visitors?
+
+A visitor or a push alternative is one where the trie drives the iteration and the caller provides a visitor or a 
+consumer. This can work well if the trie to walk is single-source, but requires some form of stop/restart or pull
+mechanism to implement ordered merges.
+
+Push-style walks are still a useful way to consume the final transformed/merged content, thus `Trie` provides 
+the `Walker` interface and `process` method. The implementations of `forEachEntry` and `dump` are straightforward
+applications of this.
+
+### The `Cursor` interface
+
+The cursor represents the state of a walk over the nodes of trie. It provides three main features:
+- the current `depth` or descend-depth in the trie;
+- the `incomingTransition`, i.e. the byte that was used to reach the current point;
+- the `content` associated with the current node,
+
+and provides methods for advancing to the next position.  This is enough information to extract all paths, and
+also to easily compare cursors over different tries that are advanced together. Advancing is always done in
+order; if one imagines the set of nodes in the trie with their associated paths, a cursor may only advance from a
+node with a lexicographically smaller path to one with bigger. The `advance` operation moves to the immediate
+next, it is also possible to skip over some items e.g. all children of the current node (`skipChildren`).
+
+Moving to the immediate next position in the lexicographic order is accomplished by:
+- if the current node has children, moving to its first child;
+- otherwise, ascend the parent chain and return the next child of the closest parent that still has any.
+
+As long as the trie is not exhausted, advancing always takes one step down, from the current node, or from a node
+on the parent chain. By comparing the new depth (which `advance` also returns) with the one before the advance,
+one can tell if the former was the case (if `newDepth == oldDepth + 1`) and how many steps up we had to take
+(`oldDepth + 1 - newDepth`). When following a path down, the cursor will stop on all prefixes.
+
+In addition to the single-step `advance` method, the cursor also provides an `advanceMultiple` method for descending
+multiple steps down when this is known to be efficient. If it is not feasible to descend (e.g. because there are no
+children, or because getting to the child of the first child requires a page fetch from disk), `advanceMultiple` will
+act just like `advance`.
+
+For convenience, the interface also provides an `advanceToContent` method for walking to the next node with non-null
+content. This is implemented via `advanceMultiple`.
+
+When the cursor is created it is placed on the root node with `depth() = 0`, `incomingTransition() = -1`. Since
+tries can have mappings for empty, `content()` can possibly be non-null in the starting position. It is not allowed
+for a cursor to start in exhausted state (i.e. with `depth() = -1`).
+
+### Using cursors in parallel
+
+One important feature of cursors is the fact that we can easily walk them in parallel. More precisely, when we use a 
+procedure where we only advance the smaller, or both if they are equal, we can compare the cursors' state by:
+- the reverse order of their current depth (i.e. higher depth first),
+- if depths are equal, the order of their current incoming transition (lexicographically smaller first).
+
+We can prove this by induction, where for two cursors `a` and `b` we maintain that:
+1. for any depth `i < mindepth - 1`, `path(a)[i] == path(b)[i]`
+2. if `a.depth < b.depth`, then `path(a)[mindepth - 1] > path(b)[mindepth - 1]`
+3. if `a.depth > b.depth`, then `path(a)[mindepth - 1] < path(b)[mindepth - 1]`
+
+where `mindepth = min(a.depth, b.depth)` and `path(cursor)` is the path corresponding to the node the cursor is
+positioned at. Note that `path(cursor)[cursor.depth - 1] == cursor.incomingTransition`.
+
+These conditions ensure that `path(a) < path(b)` if and only if `a.depth > b.depth` or `a.depth == b.depth` and 
+`a.incomingTransition < b.incomingTransition`. Indeed, if the second part is true then 1 and 3 enforce the first,
+and if the second part is not true, i.e. `a.depth <= b.depth` and (`a.depth != b.depth` or 
+`a.incomingTransition >= b.incomingTransition`), which entails `a.depth < b.depth` or `a.depth == b.depth` and
+`a.incomingTransition >= b.incomingTransition`, then by 2 and 1 we can conclude that `path(a) >= path(b)`, i.e. the
+first part is not true either.
+
+The conditions are trivially true for the initial state where both cursors are positioned at the root with depth 0.
+Also, when we advance a cursor, it is always the case that the path of the previous state and the path of the new state 
+must be the same in all positions before its new depth minus one'th. Thus, if the two cursors are equal before
+advancing, i.e. they are positioned on exactly the same path, the state after advancing must satisfy condition 1 above
+because the earliest byte in either path that can have changed is the one at position `min(a.depth, b.depth) - 1`.
+Moreover, if the depths are different, the cursor with the lower one will have advanced its character in position
+`depth - 1` while the other cursor's character at that position will have remained the same, thus conditions 2 and 3 are
+also satisfied.
+
+If `path(a)` was smaller before advancing we have that `a.depth >= b.depth`. The parallel walk will then only advance
+`a`. If the new depth of `a` is higher than `b`'s, nothing changes in conditions 1-3 (the bytes before `b.depth` do 
+not change at all in either cursor). If the new depth of `a` is the same as `b`'s, condition 1 is still satisfied
+because these bytes cannot have changed, and the premises in 2 and 3 are false. If the new depth of `a` is lower
+than `b`'s, however, `a` must have advanced the byte at index `depth - 1`, and because (due to 1) it was previously
+equal to `b`'s at this index, it must now be higher, proving 2. Condition 1 is still true because these bytes cannot
+have changed, and 3 is true because it has a false premise.
+
+The same argument holds when `b` is the smaller cursor to be advanced.
+
+## Merging two tries
+
+Two tries can be merged using `Trie.mergeWith`, which is implemented using the class `MergeTrie`. The implementation
+is a straightforward application of the parallel walking scheme above, where the merged cursor presents the depth
+and incoming transition of the currently smaller cursor, and advances by advancing the smaller cursor, or both if they
+are equal.
+
+If the cursors are not equal, we can also apply `advanceMultiple`, because it can only be different from `advance`
+if it descends. When a cursor is known to be smaller it is guaranteed to remain smaller when it descends as its
+new depth will be larger than before and thus larger than the other cursor's. This cannot be done to advance both
+cursors when they are equal, because that can violate the conditions. (Simple example: one descends through "a" and 
+the other through "bb" &mdash; condition 2. is violated, the latter will have higher depth but will not be smaller.)
+
+## Merging an arbitrary number of tries
+
+Merging is extended to an arbitrary number of sources in `CollectionMergeTrie`, used through the static `Trie.merge`.
+The process is a generalization of the above, implemented using the min-heap solution from `MergeIterator` applied
+to cursors.
+
+In this solution an extra head element is maintained _before_ the min-heap to optimize for single-source branches
+where we prefer to advance using just one comparison (head to heap top) instead of two (heap top to its two 
+descendants) at the expense of possibly adding one additional comparison in the general case.
+
+As above, when we know that the head element is not equal to the heap top (i.e. it's necessarily smaller) we can
+use its `advanceMultiple` safely.
+
+## Slicing tries
+
+Slicing, implemented in `SlicedTrie` and used via `Trie.subtrie`, can also be seen as a variation of the parallel 
+walk. In this case we walk the source as well as singletons of the two bounds.
+
+More precisely, while the source cursor is smaller than the left bound, we don't produce any output. That is, we
+keep advancing in a loop, but to avoid walking subtries unnecessarily, we use `skipChildren` instead of `advance`.
+As we saw above, a smaller cursor that descends remains smaller, thus there is no point to do so when we are
+ahead of the left bound. When the source matches a node from the left bound, we descend both and pass the
+state to the consumer. As soon as the source becomes known greater than the left bound, we can stop processing 
+the latter and pass any state we see to the consumer. 
+
+Throughout this we also process the right bound cursor and we stop the iteration (by returning `depth = -1`) 
+as soon as the source becomes larger than the right bound.
+
+`SlicedTrie` does not use singleton tries and cursors over them but opts to implement them directly, using an
+implicit representation using a pair of `depth` and `incomingTransition` for each bound.
+
+In slices we can also use `advanceMultiple` when we are certain to be strictly inside the slice, i.e. beyond the
+left bound and before a prefix of the right bound. As above, descending to any depth in this case is safe as the
+result will remain smaller than the right bound.

-/**
- * Hadoop InputFormat allowing map/reduce against Cassandra rows within one ColumnFamily.
- *
- * At minimum, you need to set the KS and CF in your Hadoop job Configuration.
- * The ConfigHelper class is provided to make this
- * simple:
- *   ConfigHelper.setInputColumnFamily
- *
- * You can also configure the number of rows per InputSplit with
- *   1: ConfigHelper.setInputSplitSize. The default split size is 64k rows.
- *   or
- *   2: ConfigHelper.setInputSplitSizeInMb. InputSplit size in MB with new, more precise method
- *   If no value is provided for InputSplitSizeInMb, we default to using InputSplitSize.
- *
- *   CQLConfigHelper.setInputCQLPageRowSize. The default page row size is 1000. You
- *   should set it to "as big as possible, but no bigger." It set the LIMIT for the CQL
- *   query, so you need set it big enough to minimize the network overhead, and also
- *   not too big to avoid out of memory issue.
- *
- *   other native protocol connection parameters in CqlConfigHelper

+# SSTable API
+
+[CEP-17](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CASSANDRA/CEP-17%3A+SSTable+format+API) 
+/ [CASSANDRA-17056](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-17056)
+
+## SSTable format
+
+SSTable format is an implementation of the `SSTableFormat` interface. It is responsible for creating readers, writers,
+scrubbers, verifiers, and other components for processing the sstables. An SSTable format implementation comes with 
+a factory class implementing the `SSTableFormat.Factory` interface. The factory is required to provide a unique name 
+of the implementation and a method for creating the format instance.
+
+## Configuration specification
+
+SSTable format factories are discovered using 
+[Java Service Loader](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/ServiceLoader.html) mechanism. The loaded 
+format implementations can be used to read the existing sstables. The write format is chosen based on the configuration. 
+If it is not specified, `BigFormat` implementation is assumed. 
+
+Optional SSTable formats configuration can be supplied in the _cassandra.yaml_ file under the `sstable` key. 
+
+```yaml
+sstable:
+  selected_format: ⟨name of the default SSTableFormat implementation⟩
+  format:
+    ⟨format1 name⟩:
+      param1: ⟨format specific parameter 1⟩
+      param2: ⟨format specific parameter 2⟩
+      # ...
+    ⟨format2 name⟩:
+      param1: ⟨format specific parameter 1⟩
+      param2: ⟨format specific parameter 2⟩
+      # ...
+    # ...      
+```
+
+Each implementation must have a unique name that is used to unanonimously identify the format. The name must be 
+consistently returned by `name()` methods in the `SSTableFormat` and `SSTableFormat.Factory` implementations. It must 
+include only lowercase ASCII letters.
+
+Parameters specified under the key named after the format name are passed to the factory method of the corresponding
+implementation. All of those parameters are optional and depend on the implementation.
+
+The assumed default configuration - which is equivalent to empty configuration:
+```yaml
+sstable:
+  selected_format: big
+```
+
+Example configuration which uses `bti` as the default:
+```yaml
+sstable:
+  selected_format: bti
+  format:
+    big:
+      param1: value1
+      param2: value2
+    bti:
+      param1: value1
+      param2: value2
+
+```
+
+## Components
+
+Each sstable consists of a set of components - required and optional. A component constitutes an identifier required 
+to obtain the exact file with an sstable descriptor. Components are grouped by type. A type may define either 
+a singleton component (for example, _stats_ component) or a non-singleton component (for example, _secondary index_ 
+component).
+
+A set of generic types of components that are thought of as common to all the sstable implementations is defined in the 
+[`SSTableFormat.Components`](format/SSTableFormat.java) class. They include singleton types like `DATA`, 
+`COMPRESSION_INFO`, `STATS`, `FILTER`, `DIGEST`, `CRC`, and `TOC`, which comes with predefined singleton component 
+instances, as well as non-singleton types like `SECONDARY_INDEX` and `CUSTOM`.
+
+Apart from the generic components, each sstable format implementation may describe its specific component types.
+For example, the _big table_ format describes additionally `PRIMARY_INDEX` and `SUMMARY` singleton types and 
+the corresponding singleton components (see [`BigFormat.Components`](format/big/BigFormat.java)).
+
+Custom types can be created with one of the `Component.Type.create(name, repr, formatClass)`,
+`Component.Type.createSingleton(name, repr, formatClass)` methods. Each created type is registered in a global types'
+registry. Types registry is hierarchical which means that an sstable implementation may use types defined for its
+format class and for all parent format classes (for example, the types defined for the `BigFormat` class extend the set
+of types defined for the `SSTableFormat` interface).
+
+For example, types defined for `BigFormat`:
+
+```java
+public static class Types extends SSTableFormat.Components.Types
+{
+    public static final Component.Type PRIMARY_INDEX = Component.Type.createSingleton("PRIMARY_INDEX", "Index.db", BigFormat.class);
+    public static final Component.Type SUMMARY = Component.Type.createSingleton("SUMMARY", "Summary.db", BigFormat.class);
+}
+```
+
+Singleton components are immediately associated with the singleton types and retrieved with the `<type>.getSingleton()` 
+method:
+
+```java
+public static class Components extends AbstractSSTableFormat.Components
+{
+    public final static Component PRIMARY_INDEX = Types.PRIMARY_INDEX.getSingleton();
+    public final static Component SUMMARY = Types.SUMMARY.getSingleton();
+}
+```
+
+Non-singleton components are created explicitly as follows:
+
+```java
+Component idx1 = Types.SECONDARY_INDEX.createComponent("SI_idx1.db");
+```
+
+## Implementation
+
+We strongly suggest the main format class to extend [`AbstractSSTableFormat`](format/AbstractSSTableFormat.java) because 
+it includes the expected implementation of a couple of methods that should not be reimplemented differently.
+
+### Initialization 
+
+Cassandra either initializes the sstable format class as a singleton by calling its constructor or obtains the instance 
+by accessing a static field called `instance` in the class. As a part of the initialization, Cassandra calls the `setup` 
+method and provides the configuration parameters. Right after initialization, Cassandra calls the `allComponents` method 
+to confirm all the components defined for the format are initialized and usable.
+
+### Predefined sets of components
+
+SSTable format defines a couple of collections of components. You should declare those collections as constant and 
+immutable sets.
+
+### Reader
+
+#### Construction
+
+An sstable reader ([`SSTableReader`](format/SSTableReader.java)) is responsible for reading the data from an sstable. 
+It is created by a _simple builder_ ([`SSTableReader.Builder`](format/SSTableReader.java)) or a _loading 
+builder_ ([`SSTableReaderLoadingBuilder`](format/SSTableReaderLoadingBuilder.java)). The builders are supplied by 
+a _reader factory_ ([`SSTableFormat.SSTableReaderFactory`](format/SSTableFormat.java)).
+
+The constructor of a particular `SSTableReader` implementation should accept two parameters - one is the format-specific
+_simple builder_ and the other one is an sstable owner (usually a `ColumnFamilyStore` instance, but it can be null 
+either). The constructor should be simple and not do anything but assign internal fields with values from the builder.
+
+A simple builder does not perform any logic except basic validation - it only stores the provided values the reader 
+constructor can access. A new reader implementation should include a public static simple builder inner class that 
+extends the `SSTableReader.Builder` generic reader builder (or `SSTableReaderWithFilter.Builder`, see [below](#filter)).
+
+In contrast to the simple builder, a loading builder can perform additional operations like more complex validation, 
+opening resources, loading caches, indexes, filters, etc. It internally creates a simple builder and eventually 
+instantiates a reader.
+
+#### General notes
+
+Note that if the builder carries some closeable resources to the reader, they should be returned by the `setupInstance` 
+method.
+
+You will find some `cloneXXX` methods to implement - remember to create a reader clone in a lambda passed to 
+the `runWithLock()` method.
+
+#### Unbuilding
+It is convenient to implement the `unbuildTo` method, which takes a _simple builder_ and initializes it so that
+the builder can produce the same reader. The method should also take the `sharedCopy` boolean argument denoting whether
+it should copy the fields referencing closeable resources to the builder directly or as (shared) copies. The convention
+also requires copying the resources only if they are unset in the builder (the field is null). The method should call
+the `super.unbuildTo` method as a first step so that all the fields managed by the parent class are copied and in
+the actual implementation only the fields specific to this format have to be assigned.
+
+For example, the implementation of that method in a reader for the _big table_ format is as follows:
+
+```java
+protected final Builder unbuildTo(Builder builder, boolean sharedCopy)
+{
+    Builder b = super.unbuildTo(builder, sharedCopy);
+    if (builder.getIndexFile() == null)
+        b.setIndexFile(sharedCopy ? sharedCopyOrNull(ifile) : ifile);
+    if (builder.getIndexSummary() == null)
+        b.setIndexSummary(sharedCopy ? sharedCopyOrNull(indexSummary) : indexSummary);
+
+    b.setKeyCache(keyCache);
+
+    return b;
+}
+```
+
+#### Filter
+
+If the sstable includes a _filter_, the reader class should extend 
+the [`SSTableReaderWithFilter`](format/SSTableReaderWithFilter.java) abstract reader (and its _simple builder_ should 
+extend the `SSTableReaderWithFilter.SSTableReaderWithFilterBuilder` builder).
+
+The reader with filter provides the `isPresentInFilter` method for extending implementation. It also implements other 
+filter-specific methods the system relies on if the implemented reader extends that class.
+
+Note that if the implemented reader extends the `SSTableReaderWithFilter` class, it should include the `FILTER` 
+component in the appropriate component sets.
+
+The reader with filter implementation comes with additional [metrics](filter/BloomFilterMetrics.java) - read more about custom
+metrics support [here](#metrics).
+
+#### Index summary
+
+Some sstable format implementations, such as _big table_ format, may use _index summaries_. If a reader uses _index 
+summaries_ it should implement the [`IndexSummarySupport`](indexsummary/IndexSummarySupport.java) interface. 
+
+The support for _index summaries_ comes with additional [metrics](indexsummary/IndexSummaryMetrics.java) - read more 
+about custom metrics support [here](#metrics).
+
+#### Key cache
+
+If an sstable format implementation uses row key cache, it should implement 
+the[`KeyCacheSupport`](keycache/KeyCacheSupport.java) interface. In particular, it should store a `KeyCache` instance 
+and return it with the `getKeyCache()` method. The interface has the default implementations of several methods 
+the system relies on if the reader implements the `KeyCacheSupport` interface.
+
+The interface comes with additional [metrics](keycache/KeyCacheMetrics.java) - read more about custom metrics support 
+[here](#metrics).
+
+#### Metrics
+
+A custom sstable format implementation may provide additional metrics on a table, keyspace, and global level. Those 
+metrics are accessible via JMX. The `SSTableFormat` implementation exposes the additional metrics by implementing the
+`SSTableFormat.getFormatSpecificMetricsProviders` method. The method should return a singleton object implementing the
+[`MetricsProviders`](MetricsProviders.java) interface. Currently, there is only support for custom gauges, but it can be
+extended when needed.
+
+Each custom metric (gauge) is an implementation of the [GaugeProvider](GaugeProvider.java) abstract class. Although the
+class expects the implementation to provide a gauge for each level of aggregation, there is a helper class -
+[SimpleGaugeProvider](SimpleGaugeProvider.java) - which does that automatically with a supplied reduction lambda. There 
+is [`AbstractMetricsProviders`](AbstractMetricsProviders.java) class which is a partial implementation of the
+`MetricsProviders` interface and leverages `SimpleGaugeProvider` in the offered methods.
+
+Example - additional metrics for sstables supporting index summaries (see 
+[`IndexSummaryMetrics`](indexsummary/IndexSummaryMetrics.java) for a full example):
+```java
+private final GaugeProvider<Long> indexSummaryOffHeapMemoryUsed = newGaugeProvider("IndexSummaryOffHeapMemoryUsed",
+                                                                                   0L,
+                                                                                   r -> r.getIndexSummary().getOffHeapSize(),
+                                                                                   Long::sum);
+```
+
+### Writer
+
+#### Construction
+
+An sstable writer ([`SSTableWriter`](format/SSTableWriter.java)) is responsible for writing the data to sstable files.
+It is created by a _builder_ ([`SSTableWriter.Builder`](format/SSTableWriter.java)). The builder is supplied by
+a _writer factory_ ([`SSTableFormat.SSTableWriterFactory`](format/SSTableFormat.java)).
+
+#### SortedTableWriter
+
+There are not many methods to be implemented in the writer. The most notable one is `append` which should write 
+the provided partition to disk. However, there is a generic default implementation 
+[`SortedTableWriter`](format/SortedTableWriter.java) which handles things like writing to the data file using 
+the default serializers, generic support for a partition index, notifications, metadata collection, and building 
+a filter. The writer triggers fine-grained events when data are added and those methods can be overridden in 
+the subclasses to apply specific behaviours (for example, `onPartitionStart`, `onRow`, `onStaticRow`, etc.).
+Eventually it calls an abstract `createRowIndexEntry` method which should be implemented in the subclass. 
+
+### Scrubber and verifier
+
+A custom sstable format should also come with its own verifier and scrubber implementing [`IVerifier`](IVerifier.java)
+and [`IScrubber`](IScrubber.java) interfaces correspondingly. A generic partial implementation is provided in 
+[`SortedTableVerifier`](format/SortedTableVerifier.java) and [`SortedTableScrubber`](format/SortedTableScrubber.java).

 /**
- * An SSTableReader can be constructed in a number of places, but typically is either
- * read from disk at startup, or constructed from a flushed memtable, or after compaction
- * to replace some existing sstables. However once created, an sstablereader may also be modified.
- *
- * A reader's OpenReason describes its current stage in its lifecycle, as follows:
- *
- *
- * <pre> {@code
- * NORMAL
- * From:       None        => Reader has been read from disk, either at startup or from a flushed memtable
- *             EARLY       => Reader is the final result of a compaction
- *             MOVED_START => Reader WAS being compacted, but this failed and it has been restored to NORMAL status
- *
- * EARLY
- * From:       None        => Reader is a compaction replacement that is either incomplete and has been opened
- *                            to represent its partial result status, or has been finished but the compaction
- *                            it is a part of has not yet completed fully
- *             EARLY       => Same as from None, only it is not the first time it has been
- *
- * MOVED_START
- * From:       NORMAL      => Reader is being compacted. This compaction has not finished, but the compaction result
- *                            is either partially or fully opened, to either partially or fully replace this reader.
- *                            This reader's start key has been updated to represent this, so that reads only hit
- *                            one or the other reader.
- *
- * METADATA_CHANGE
- * From:       NORMAL      => Reader has seen low traffic and the amount of memory available for index summaries is
- *                            constrained, so its index summary has been downsampled.
- *         METADATA_CHANGE => Same
- * } </pre>
- *
- * Note that in parallel to this, there are two different Descriptor types; TMPLINK and FINAL; the latter corresponds
- * to NORMAL state readers and all readers that replace a NORMAL one. TMPLINK is used for EARLY state readers and
- * no others.
- *
- * When a reader is being compacted, if the result is large its replacement may be opened as EARLY before compaction
- * completes in order to present the result to consumers earlier. In this case the reader will itself be changed to
- * a MOVED_START state, where its start no longer represents its on-disk minimum key. This is to permit reads to be
- * directed to only one reader when the two represent the same data. The EARLY file can represent a compaction result
- * that is either partially complete and still in-progress, or a complete and immutable sstable that is part of a larger
- * macro compaction action that has not yet fully completed.
- *
- * Currently ALL compaction results at least briefly go through an EARLY open state prior to completion, regardless
- * of if early opening is enabled.
- *
- * Since a reader can be created multiple times over the same shared underlying resources, and the exact resources
- * it shares between each instance differ subtly, we track the lifetime of any underlying resource with its own
- * reference count, which each instance takes a Ref to. Each instance then tracks references to itself, and once these
- * all expire it releases its Refs to these underlying resources.
- *
- * There is some shared cleanup behaviour needed only once all sstablereaders in a certain stage of their lifecycle
- * (i.e. EARLY or NORMAL opening), and some that must only occur once all readers of any kind over a single logical
- * sstable have expired. These are managed by the TypeTidy and GlobalTidy classes at the bottom, and are effectively
- * managed as another resource each instance tracks its own Ref instance to, to ensure all of these resources are
- * cleaned up safely and can be debugged otherwise.

+/**
+ * Binary format of {@code RowIndexEntry} is defined as follows:
+ * {@code
+ * (long) position (64 bit long, vint encoded)
+ *  (int) serialized size of data that follows (32 bit int, vint encoded)
+ * -- following for indexed entries only (so serialized size > 0)
+ *  (int) DeletionTime.localDeletionTime
+ * (long) DeletionTime.markedForDeletionAt
+ *  (int) number of IndexInfo objects (32 bit int, vint encoded)
+ *    (*) serialized IndexInfo objects, see below
+ *    (*) offsets of serialized IndexInfo objects, since version "ma" (3.0)
+ *        Each IndexInfo object's offset is relative to the first IndexInfo object.
+ * }
+ * <p>
+ * See {@link IndexInfo} for a description of the serialized format.
+ * </p>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * For each partition, the layout of the index file looks like this:
+ * </p>
+ * <ol>
+ *     <li>partition key - prefixed with {@code short} length</li>
+ *     <li>serialized {@code RowIndexEntry} objects</li>
+ * </ol>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ *     Generally, we distinguish between index entries that have <i>index
+ *     samples</i> (list of {@link IndexInfo} objects) and those who don't.
+ *     For each <i>portion</i> of data for a single partition in the data file,
+ *     an index sample is created. The size of that <i>portion</i> is defined
+ *     by {@link org.apache.cassandra.config.Config#column_index_size}.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ *     Index entries with less than 2 index samples, will just store the
+ *     position in the data file.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ *     Note: legacy sstables for index entries are those sstable formats that
+ *     do <i>not</i> have an offsets table to index samples ({@link IndexInfo}
+ *     objects). These are those sstables created on Cassandra versions
+ *     earlier than 3.0.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ *     For index entries with index samples we store the index samples
+ *     ({@link IndexInfo} objects). The bigger the partition, the more
+ *     index samples are created. Since a huge amount of index samples
+ *     will "pollute" the heap and cause huge GC pressure, Cassandra 3.6
+ *     (CASSANDRA-11206) distinguishes between index entries with an
+ *     "acceptable" amount of index samples per partition and those
+ *     with an "enormous" amount of index samples. The barrier
+ *     is controlled by the configuration parameter
+ *     {@link org.apache.cassandra.config.Config#column_index_cache_size}.
+ *     Index entries with a total serialized size of index samples up to
+ *     {@code column_index_cache_size} will be held in an array.
+ *     Index entries exceeding that value will always be accessed from
+ *     disk.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ *     This results in these classes:
+ * </p>
+ * <ul>
+ *     <li>{@link RowIndexEntry} just stores the offset in the data file.</li>
+ *     <li>{@link IndexedEntry} is for index entries with index samples
+ *     and used for both current and legacy sstables, which do not exceed
+ *     {@link org.apache.cassandra.config.Config#column_index_cache_size}.</li>
+ *     <li>{@link ShallowIndexedEntry} is for index entries with index samples
+ *     that exceed {@link org.apache.cassandra.config.Config#column_index_cache_size}
+ *     for sstables with an offset table to the index samples.</li>
+ * </ul>
+ * <p>
+ *     Since access to index samples on disk (obviously) requires some file
+ *     reader, that functionality is encapsulated in implementations of
+ *     {@link IndexInfoRetriever}. There is an implementation to access
+ *     index samples of legacy sstables (without the offsets table),
+ *     an implementation of access sstables with an offsets table.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ *     Until now (Cassandra 3.x), we still support reading from <i>legacy</i> sstables -
+ *     i.e. sstables created by Cassandra &lt; 3.0 (see {@link org.apache.cassandra.io.sstable.format.big.BigFormat}.

+# Big Trie-Indexed (BTI) SSTable format
+
+This document describes the BTI SSTable format, which is introduced to
+Cassandra with [CEP-25](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CASSANDRA/CEP-25%3A+Trie-indexed+SSTable+format).
+
+The format is called BTI, which stands for "Big Trie-Indexed", because it shares
+the data format of the existing BIG format and only changes the primary indexes
+inside SSTables. The format relies on byte order and tries, and uses a combination
+of features to make the indexing structures compact and efficient. The paragraphs
+below describe the format's features and mechanisms together with the motivation 
+behind them, and conclude with detailed description of the on-disk format.
+
+# Prerequisites
+
+## Byte-comparable types
+
+The property of being byte-comparable (also called byte-ordered) for a
+key denotes that there is a serialisation of that key to a sequence of
+bytes where the lexicographic comparison of the unsigned bytes produces
+the same result as performing a typed comparison of the key.
+
+For Cassandra, such a representation is given by
+[CASSANDRA-6936](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6936).
+Detailed description of the mechanics of the translation are provided in
+the [included documentation](../../../../utils/bytecomparable/ByteComparable.md).
+
+## Tries
+
+A trie is a data structure that describes a mapping between sequences
+and associated values. It is very similar to a deterministic finite
+state automaton, with the main difference that an automaton is allowed
+to have cycles, while a trie is not.
+
+Because the theory and main usage of the structure is for encoding words
+of a language, the trie terminology talks about "characters", "words"
+and "alphabet", which in our case map to bytes of the byte-ordered
+representation, the sequence that encodes it, and the possible values of

+
+[^1]: For simplicity this description assumes we directly map a byte to
+a character. Other options are also possible (e.g. using hex digits
+as the alphabet and two transitions per byte).
+
+A trie can be defined as a tree graph in which vertices are states, some
+of which can be final and contain associated information, and where
+edges are labelled with characters. A valid word in the trie is encoded
+by a path starting from the root of the trie where each edge is labelled
+with the next character of the word, and ending in a final state which
+contains the 'payload' associated with the word.

+
+This means that in a constructed trie finding the payload associated
+with a word is a matter of following the edges (also called
+"transitions") from the initial state labelled with the consecutive
+characters of the word, and retrieving the payload associated with the
+state at which we end up. If that's not a final state, or if at any
+point in this we did not find a transition in the trie matching the
+character, the trie does not have an association for the word. The
+complexity of lookup is thus _O_(len(word)) transitions, where the cost of
+taking a transition is usually constant, thus this complexity is
+theoretically optimal.
+
+From a storage space perspective, one of the main benefits of a trie as
+a data structure for storing a map is the fact that it completely avoids
+storing redundant prefixes. All words that start with the same sequence
+store a representation of that sequence only once. If prefixes are
+commonly shared, this can save a great deal of space.
+
+When the items stored in a trie are lexicographically (=byte) ordered, a
+trie is also an ordered structure. A trie can be walked in order and it
+is also possible to efficiently list the items between two given keys.
+
+In fact, one can efficiently (and lazily) apply set algebra over tries,
+and slicing can be seen as a simple application of intersection, where
+the intersecting trie is generated on the fly. The set operations
+benefit from the same prefix-sharing effect &mdash; we apply union /
+intersection / difference to a state, which has the effect of applying
+the operation to all words that share the prefix denoted by that state.

+(An example of slicing the trie above with the range "bit"-"thing".
+Processing only applies on boundary nodes (root, "t", "th", "thi"),
+where we throw away the transitions outside the range. Subtries like the
+ones for "n" and "o" fall completely between "b" and "t" thus are fully
+inside the range and can be processed without any further restrictions.)
+
+A trie can be used as a modifiable in-memory data structure where one
+can add and remove individual elements. It can also be constructed from
+sorted input, incrementally storing the data directly to disk and
+building an efficient read-only on-disk data structure.
+
+For more formal information about the concept and applications of tries
+and finite state automata, try [Introduction to Automata Theory,
+Languages, and Computation](https://books.google.com/books?id=dVipBwAAQBAJ).
+There are many variations of the concept, and of the implementation of
+states and transitions that can be put to use to achieve even further
+efficiency gains; some of these will be detailed below.
+
+# Indexing with tries
+
+Since a trie is generally an ordered byte source to payload map, we can
+apply the concept directly to the components of Cassandra that are most
+affected by the inefficiency of using comparison-based structures: the
+indices.
+
+This can be done in the following way:
+
+-   When we write the index, we map each key into its byte-ordered
+    representation and create an on-disk trie of byte-ordered
+    representations of keys mapping into positions in the data file.
+
+-   When we need an exact match for a key, we create a (lazily
+    generated) byte-ordered representation of the key and look for it
+    in the trie.
+
+    -   If we find a match, we know the data file position.
+
+    -   If there is no match, there is no data associated with the key.
+
+-   When we need a greater-than/greater-or-equal match, we use the
+    byte-ordered representation to create a path that leads to the
+    first matching data position in the sstable.
+
+    -   We can then use this path to iterate the greater keys in the
+        sstable.
+
+This works, but isn't very efficient. Lookup in it is _O_(len(key)), 
+which can even mean that many seeks on disk, and we have to store
+a transition (which defines the size of the structure) for every
+non-prefix character in the dataset.
+
+We can do much better.
+
+## Trimming the fat
+
+The primary purpose of the index is to find a position in the data file
+for the given key. It needs to be able to find the correct position for
+any existing key, but there is no need for it to be exact on keys that
+are not present in the file &mdash; since our data files contain a copy of
+the key at the start of each partition, we can simply check if the key
+we are searching for matches the key at the position returned by the
+index.
+
+This allows us to use a simple optimization: instead of storing the full
+key in the index trie, we can store only a prefix of the key that is
+unique among all partitions in the table. This means that we have
+intermediate nodes in the trie only if a prefix is shared by multiple
+keys, which normally reduces the number of nodes and transitions in the
+trie to about 2*n*.
+
+```mermaid

+  Node_  --"w"--> Node_w(( ))
+    Node_w --"ith"--> Node_with((( )))
+          Node_with --"o"--> Node_without((( )))
+```
+
+This also reduces the number of steps we need to take in the trie. In a
+well-balanced key set (such as the one where the byte-ordered key starts
+with a hash as in Murmur or Random-partitioned primary keys) the lookup
+complexity becomes _O_(log _n_) transitions[^2].
+
+[^2]: For comparison, the complexity of binary search in a sorted
+primary index is also _O_(log _n_), but in key comparisons whose
+complexity on average in a well-balanced key set is another _O_(log _n_)
+for a total _O_(log<sup>2</sup> _n_).
+
+## Taking hardware into account
+
+The point above improves the number of transitions significantly, but
+the out-of-cache efficiency is still pretty bad if we have to read a new
+disk page every time we examine a node. Fortunately we can take some
+extra care during construction to make sure we make the most of every
+disk page brought up during lookup.
+
+The idea of this is to pack wide sections of the trie in pages, so that
+every time we open a page we can be certain to be able to follow several
+transitions before leaving that page.

+```
+
+One way to generate something like this is to start from the root and do
+a breadth-first walk, placing the encountered nodes on disk until a page
+is filled and their target transitions in a queue for which the process
+is repeated to fill other pages.
+
+Another approach, more suitable to our application because it can be
+done as part of the incremental construction process, is to do the
+packing from the bottom up &mdash; when the incremental construction
+algorithm completes a node we do not immediately write it, but wait
+until we have formed a branch that is bigger than a page. When this
+happens we lay out the node's children (each smaller than a page but
+root of a biggest branch that would fit) and let the parent node be
+treated like a leaf from there on. In turn it will become part of a
+branch that is bigger than a page and will be laid packaged together
+with its related nodes, resulting in a picture similar to the above.
+
+In fact the bottom-up process has a little performance benefit over the
+top-down: with the top-down construction the root page is full and leaf
+pages take combinations of unrelated smaller branches; with the
+bottom-up the leaf pages take as much information as possible about a
+branch, while the root often remains unfilled. For the best possible
+out-of-cache efficiency we would prefer the set of non-leaf pages to be
+as small as possible. Having larger leaf page branches means more of the
+trie data is in the leaf branches and thus the size of that intermediate
+node set is smaller.
+
+See [`IncrementalTrieWriterPageAware`](../../../tries/IncrementalDeepTrieWriterPageAware.java) 
+for details on how the page-aware
+trie construction is implemented.
+
+## Storing the trie
+
+Another interesting question about the format of the trie is how one
+stores the information about the transitions in a node. If we want to
+maintain that the size of the structure is proportional to the number of
+overall transitions, we need to be able to store node transitions
+sparsely. Typically this is done using a list of transition characters
+and binary searching among them to make a transition.
+
+This binary search can theoretically be taken to use constant time
+(since the alphabet size is small and predefined), but isn't the most
+efficient operation in practice due to the unpredictable branch
+instructions necessary for its implementation. It is preferable to avoid
+it as much as possible.
+
+To do this, and to shave a few additional bytes in common cases, our
+implementation of on-disk tries uses typed nodes. A node can be:
+
+-   Final with no transitions (`PAYLOAD_ONLY`).
+
+-   Having one transition (`SINGLE`), which has to store only the
+    character and target for that transition.
+
+-   Having a binary-searched list of transitions (`SPARSE`), where the
+    number of characters, each character and the targets are stored.
+
+-   Having a consecutive range of transitions (`DENSE`), where the first
+    and last character and targets are stored, possibly including some
+    null transitions.
+
+We use one byte per node to store four bits of node type as well as four
+bits of payload information.
+
+In a well-balanced and populated trie the nodes where lookup spends most
+time (the nodes closest to the root) are `DENSE` nodes, where finding the
+target for the transition is a direct calculation from the code of the
+character. On the other hand, most of the nodes (the ones closest to the
+leaves) are `PAYLOAD_ONLY`, `SINGLE` or `SPARSE` to avoid taking any more
+space than necessary.
+
+The main objective for the trie storage format is to achieve the
+smallest possible packing (and thus smallest cache usage and fewest disk
+reads), thus we choose the type that results in the smallest
+representation of the node. `DENSE` type gets chosen naturally when its
+encoding (which avoids storing the character list but may include null
+targets) is smaller than `SPARSE`.
+
+## Pointer Sizes
+
+The next optimization we make in the storage format is based on the fact
+that most nodes in the trie are in the lower levels of the tree and thus
+close to leaves. As such, the distance between the node and its target
+transitions when laid out during the construction process is small and
+thus it is a huge win to store pointers as distances with variable size.
+
+This is even more true for the page-aware layout we use &mdash; all internal
+transitions within the page (i.e. >99% of all transitions in the trie!)
+can be stored using just an offset within the page, using just 12 bits.
+
+This is heavily used via further specialization of the node types: e.g.
+we have `DENSE_12`, `DENSE_16` to `DENSE_40` as well as `DENSE_LONG`
+subtypes which differ in the size of pointer they use.
+
+# Primary indexing in the BTI format
+
+The purpose of the primary index of an sstable is to be able to map a
+key containing partition and clustering components to a position in the
+sstable data file which holds the relevant row or the closest row with a
+greater key and enables iteration of rows from that point on.
+
+Partition keys are normally fully specified, while clustering keys are
+often given partially or via a comparison relation. They are also
+treated differently by all the infrastructure and have historically had
+different index structures; we chose to retain this distinction for the
+time being and implement similar replacement structures using tries.
+
+## Partition index implementation details
+
+The primary purpose of the partition index is to map a specified
+partition key to a row index for the partition. It also needs to support
+iteration from a (possibly partially specified) partition position. The
+description below details mapping only; iteration is a trivial
+application of the trie machinery to the described structure.
+
+In addition to wide partitions where a row index is mandatory, Cassandra
+is often used for tables where the partitions have only a
+couple of rows, including also ones where the partition key is the only
+component of the primary key, i.e. where row and partition are the same
+thing. For these situations it makes no sense to actually have a row
+index and the partition index should point directly to the data.
+
+The application of tries to Cassandra's partition index uses the trie
+infrastructure described above to create a trie mapping unique
+byte-ordered partition key prefixes to either:
+
+-   A position in the row index file which contains the index of the
+    rows within that partition, or
+
+-   A position in the data file containing the relevant partition (if a
+    row index for it is not necessary).
+
+A single table can have both indexed and non-indexed rows. For
+efficiency the partition index stores the position as a single long,
+using its sign bit to differentiate between the two options[^3]. This
+value is stored with variable length &mdash; more precisely, we use the four
+bits provided in the node type byte to store the length of the pointer.
+
+[^3]: It needs to differentiate between 0 with index and 0 without
+index, however, so we use ~pos instead of -pos to encode
+direct-to-data mappings. This still allows sign expansion
+instructions to be used to convert e.g. `int` to `long`.
+
+Lookup in this index is accomplished by converting the decorated
+partition key to its byte-ordered representation and following the
+transitions for its bytes while the trie has any. If at any point the
+trie does not offer a transition for the next byte but is not a leaf
+node, the sstable does not contain a mapping for the given key.
+
+If a leaf of the trie is reached, then the prefix of the partition key
+matches some content in the file, but we are not yet sure if it is a
+full match for the partition key. The leaf node points to a place in the
+row index or data file. In either case the first bytes at the specified
+position contain a serialization of the partition key, which we can
+compare to the key being mapped. If it matches, we have found the
+partition. If not, since the stored prefixes are unique, no data for
+this partition exists in this sstable.
+
+### Efficiency
+
+If everything is in cache this lookup is extremely efficient: it follows
+a few transitions in `DENSE` nodes plus one or two binary searches in
+`SPARSE` or `SINGLE`, and finishes with a direct comparison of a byte buffer
+with contents of a file. No object allocation or deserialization is
+necessary.
+
+If not all data is in cache, the performance of this lookup most heavily
+depends on the number of pages that must be fetched from persistent
+storage. The expectation on which this implementation is based, is that
+if an sstable is in use all non-leaf pages of the index will tend to
+remain cached. If that expectation is met, lookup will only require
+fetching one leaf index page and one data/row index page for the full
+key comparison. On a match the latter fetch will be required anyway,
+since we would want to read the data at that position.
+
+An important consideration in the design of this feature was to make
+sure there is no situation in which the trie indices perform worse than
+the earlier code, thus we should aim to do at most as many reads. The
+number of random accesses for the earlier index implementation where an
+index summary is forced in memory is one _seek_ required to start
+reading from the partition index (though usually multiple consecutive
+pages need to be read), and one seek needed to start reading the actual
+data. Since the index summary ends up being of similar size to the
+non-leaf pages of the trie index, the memory usage and number of seeks
+for the trie index on match ends up being the same but we read less data
+and do much less processing.
+
+On mismatch, though, we may be making one additional seek. However, we
+can drastically reduce the chance of mismatch, which we currently do in
+two ways:
+
+-   By using a bloom filter before lookup. The chance of getting a bloom
+    filter hit as well as a prefix match for the wrong key is pretty
+    low and gets lower with increasing sstable size.
+
+-   By storing some of the key hash bits that are not part of the token
+    at the payload node and comparing them with the mapped key's hash
+    bits.
+
+Currently we use a combination of both by default as the best performing
+option. The user can disable or choose to have a smaller bloom filter,
+and the code also supports indices that do not contain hash bits (though
+to reduce configuration complexity we do not have plans to expose that
+option).
+
+For fully cold sstables we have to perform more random fetches from disk
+than the earlier implementation, but we read less. Testing showed that
+having a bloom filter is enough to make the trie index faster; if a
+bloom filter is not present, we try going through the byte contents of
+the index file on boot to prefetch it which ends up taking not too long
+(since it is read sequentially rather than randomly) and boosting cold
+performance dramatically.
+
+### Building and early open
+
+The partition index is built using the page-aware incremental
+construction described earlier, where we also delay writing each key
+until we have seen the next so that we can find the shortest prefix that
+is enough to differentiate it from the previous and next keys (this also
+differentiates it from all others in the sstable because the contents
+are sorted). Only that prefix is written to the trie.
+
+One last complication is the support for early opening of sstables which
+allows newly-compacted tables to gradually occupy the page cache. Though
+the index building is incremental, the partially-written trie is not
+usable directly because the root of the trie as well as the path from it
+to the last written nodes is not yet present in the file.
+
+This problem can be easily overcome, though, by dumping these
+intermediate nodes to an in-memory buffer (without the need for
+page-aware packing) and forming an index by attaching this buffer at the
+end of the partially written file using 
+[`TailOverridingRebufferer`](../../../util/TailOverridingRebufferer.java).
+
+## Row index implementation details
+
+Unlike the partition index, the main use of the row index is to iterate
+from a given clustering key in forward or reverse direction (where exact
+key lookup is just a special case).
+
+Rows are often very small (they could contain a single int or no columns
+at all) and thus there is a real possibility for the row indices to
+become bigger than the data they represent. This is not a desirable
+outcome, which is part of the reason why Cassandra's row index has
+historically operated on blocks of rows rather than indexing every row
+in the partition. This is a concern we also have with the trie-based
+index, thus we also index blocks of rows (by default, a block of rows
+that is at least 16kb in size &mdash; this will be called the index
+_granularity_ below, specified by the `column_index_size`
+`cassandra.yaml` parameter).
+
+Our row index implementation thus creates a map from clustering keys or
+prefixes to the data position at the start of the index block which is
+the earliest that could contain a key equal or greater than the given
+one. Additionally, if there is an active deletion at the beginning of
+the block, the index must specify it so that it can be taken into
+account when merging data from multiple sstables.
+
+Each index block will contain at least one key, but generally it will
+have different first and last keys. We don't store these keys, but
+instead we index the positions between blocks by storing a "separator",
+some key that is greater than the last key of the previous block and
+smaller than or equal to the first key of the next[^4]. Then, when we
+look up a given clustering, we follow its bytes as long as we can in the
+trie and we can be certain that all blocks before the closest
+less-than-or-equal entry in the trie cannot contain any data that is
+greater than or equal to the given key.
+
+[^4]: Another way to interpret this is that we index the start of each
+block only, but for efficiency we don't use the first key of the
+block as its beginning, but instead something closer to the last key
+of the previous block (but still greater than it).
+
+It may happen that the identified block actually doesn't contain any
+matching data (e.g. because the looked-up key ends up between the last
+key in the block and the separator), but this only affects efficiency as
+the iteration mechanism does not expect the data position returned by
+the index to be guaranteed to start with elements that fit the criteria;
+it would only have to walk a whole block forward to find the matching
+key.
+
+It is important to keep the number of these false positives low, and at
+the same time we aim for the smallest possible size of the index for a
+given granularity. The choice of separator affects this balance[^5]; the
+option we use, as a good tradeoff in the vein of the unique prefix
+approach used in the partition index, is to use the shortest prefix of
+the next block's beginning key that separates it from the previous
+block's end key, adjusted so that the last byte of it is 1 greater than
+that end key.
+
+[^5]: For example, the best separator for false positives is the next
+possible byte sequence after the previous block's final key, which
+is obtained by adding a 00 byte to its end. This, however, means all
+the bytes of the byte-ordered representation of this key must be
+present in the index, which inflates the index's size and lookup
+complexity.
+
+For example, if block 2 covers "something" to "somewhere" and block 3
+&mdash; "sorry" to "tease", then the sequence "son" is used as the separator
+between blocks 2 and 3. This leaves things like "sommelier" in the area
+that triggers false positives, but stores and has to walk just three
+bytes to find the starting point for iteration.
+
+### Efficiency
+
+Finding the candidate block in the trie involves walking the byte
+ordered representation of the clustering key in the trie and finding the
+closest less-than-or-equal value. The number of steps is proportional to
+the length of the separators &mdash; the lower their number the shorter that
+sequence is, though we can't expect _O_(log _n_) complexity since there may
+be many items sharing the same long prefixes (e.g. if there are long
+strings in the components of the clustering keys before the last). Even
+so, such repeating prefixes are addressed very well by the page-packing
+and `SINGLE_NOPAYLOAD_4` node type, resulting in very efficient walks.
+
+After this step we also perform a linear walk within the data file to
+find the actual start of the matching data. This is usually costlier and
+may involve object allocation and deserialization.
+
+The tradeoff between the size of the index and the time it takes to find
+the relevant rows is controlled by the index granularity. The lower it
+is, the more efficient lookup (especially exact match lookup) becomes at
+the expense of bigger index size. The 16kb default is chosen pretty
+conservatively[^6]; if users don't mind bigger indices something like 4,
+2 or 1kb granularity should be quite a bit more efficient. It is also
+possible to index every row by choosing a granularity of 0kb; at these
+settings in-cache trie-indexed sstables tend to outperform
+`ConcurrentSkipListMap` memtables for reads.
+
+[^6]: This was chosen with the aim to match the size of the trie index
+compared to the earlier version of the row index at its default
+granularity of 64kb.
+
+### Reverse lookup
+
+To perform a reverse lookup, we can use the same mechanism as above
+(with greater-than-or-equal) to find the initial block for the
+iteration. However, in the forward direction we could simply walk the
+data file to find the next rows, but this isn't possible going
+backwards.
+
+To solve this problem the index helps the iteration machinery by
+providing an iterator of index blocks in reverse order. For each index
+block the iteration walks it forward and creates a stack of all its row
+positions, then starts issuing rows by popping and examining rows from
+that stack. When the stack is exhausted it requests the previous block
+from the index and applies the same procedure there.
+
+# Code structure
+
+The implementation is mostly in two packages, `o.a.c.io.tries` contains
+the generic code to construct and read on-disk tries, and 
+`o.a.c.io.sstable.format.bti`, which implements the specifics of the
+format and the two indexes.
+
+## Building tries
+
+Tries are built from sorted keys using an [`IncrementalTrieWriter`](../../../tries/IncrementalTrieWriter.java). 
+The code contains three implementations with increasing complexity:
+- [`IncrementalTrieWriterSimple`](../../../tries/IncrementalTrieWriterSimple.java)
+  implements simple incremental construction of tries from sorted input,
+- [`IncrementalTrieWriterPageAware`](../../../tries/IncrementalTrieWriterPageAware.java)
+  adds packing of nodes to disk pages,
+- [`IncrementalDeepTrieWriterPageAware`](../../../tries/IncrementalDeepTrieWriterPageAware.java)
+  adds the ability to transition to on-heap recursion for all stages of the construction
+  process to be able to handle very large keys.
+
+Only the latter is used, but we provide (and test) the other two as a form of
+documentation.
+
+The builders take a `TrieSerializer` as parameter, which determines how the nodes
+are written. The indexes implement this using `TrieNode`, writing any payload they
+need immediately after the node serialization.
+
+## Reading tries
+
+The BTI format tries are used directly in their on-disk format. To achieve this,
+all node types are implemented as static objects in `TrieNode`. Reading nodes in
+a file is encapsulated in [`Walker`](../../../tries/Walker.java), 
+which provides a method to `go` to a specific node and use it, i.e. 
+get any associated data, search in the children list and
+follow transitions to children. It also provides functionality to find the
+mapping for a given key, floors and ceilings as well as some combinations.
+Iterating the payloads between two key bounds is implemented by 
+[`ValueIterator`](../../../tries/ValueIterator.java),
+and [`ReverseValueIterator`](../../../tries/ReverseValueIterator.java).
+
+Special care is given to prefixes to make sure the semantics of searches matches
+what the format needs.
+
+## SSTable format implementation
+
+The two indexes are implemented, respectively, by [`PartitionIndex`](PartitionIndex.java)
+/[`PartitionIndexBuilder`](PartitionIndexBuilder.java)
+and [`RowIndexReader`](RowIndexReader.java)/[`RowIndexWriter`](RowIndexWriter.java). 
+The format implementation extends the filtered
+base class and follows the structure of the BIG implementation, where
+all references to the primary index are replaced with calls to these two 
+classes.
+
+# Index file format in BTI
+
+## Trie nodes
+Implemented in [`TrieNode.java`](../../../tries/TrieNode.java)
+
+Nodes start with four bits of node type, followed by 4 payload bits
+(_pb_), which are 0 if the node has no associated payload; otherwise the
+node type gives an option to compute the starting position for the
+payload (_ppos_) from the starting position of the node (_npos_).
+The layout of the node depends on its type.
+
+`PAYLOAD_ONLY` nodes:
+
+-   4 type bits, 0
+
+-   4 payload bits
+
+-   payload if _pb_ &ne; 0, _ppos_ is _npos_ + 1
+
+`SINGLE_NOPAYLOAD_4` and `SINGLE_NOPAYLOAD_12` nodes:
+
+-   4 type bits
+
+-   4 pointer bits
+
+-   8 pointer bits (for `SINGLE_NOPAYLOAD_12`)
+
+-   8 bits transition byte
+
+-   _pb_ is assumed 0
+
+`SINGLE_8/16`:
+
+-   4 type bits
+
+-   4 payload bits
+
+-   8 bits transition byte
+
+-   8/16 pointer bits
+
+-   payload if _pb_ &ne; 0, _ppos_ is _npos_ + 3/4
+
+`SPARSE_8/12/16/24/40`:
+
+-   4 type bits
+
+-   4 payload bits
+
+-   8 bit child count
+
+-   8 bits per child, the transition bytes
+
+-   8/12/16/24/40 bits per child, the pointers
+
+-   payload if _pb_ &ne; 0, _ppos_ is _npos_ + 2 + (2/2.5/3/4/6)*(_child
+    count_) (rounded up)
+
+`DENSE_12/16/24/32/40/LONG`:
+
+-   4 type bits
+
+-   4 payload bits
+
+-   8 bit start byte value
+
+-   8 bit _length_-1
+
+-   _length_ * 12/16/24/32/40/64 bits per child, the pointers
+
+-   payload if _pb_ &ne; 0, _ppos_ is _npos_ + 3 + (1.5/2/3/4/5/8)*(_length_)
+    (rounded up)
+
+This is the space taken by each node type (_CS_ stands for child span,
+i.e. largest - smallest + 1, _CC_ is child count):
+
+|Type                 | Size in bytes excl. payload |Size for 1 child|Size for 9 dense children (01-08, 10)|Size for 10 sparse children (01 + i*10)|Why the type is needed          |

+
+All pointers are stored as distances, and since all tries are written
+from the bottom up (and hence a child is always before the parent in the
+file), the distance is subtracted from the position of the current node
+to obtain the position of the child node.
+
+Note: All nodes are placed in such a way that they do not cross a page
+boundary. I.e. if a reader (e.g. [`Walker`](../../../tries/Walker.java)) 
+is positioned at a node, it is
+guaranteed that all reads of the node's data can complete without
+requiring a different page to be fetched from disk.
+
+## Partition index
+Implemented in [`PartitionIndex.java`](PartitionIndex.java)
+
+Layout:
+```
+[nodes page, 4096 bytes]
+...
+[nodes page, 4096 bytes]
+[nodes page including root node, ≤4096 bytes]
+[smallest key, with short length]
+[largest key, with short length]
+[smallest key pos, long]
+[key count, long]
+[root pos, long]
+```
+
+The SSTable's partition index is stored in the -Partitions.db file. The
+file itself is written from the bottom up, and its "header" is at the
+end of the file.
+
+More precisely, the last 3 longs in the file contain:
+
+-   A file position where the smallest and greatest key are written.
+
+-   The exact number of keys in the file.
+
+-   A file position for the root node of the index.
+
+These three longs are preceded by the serialization of the first and
+last key, and before that are the trie contents.
+
+To find a match for the key, start at the root position, decode the node
+(see the "Trie nodes" section above) and follow the transitions
+according to the bytes of the byte-ordered representation of the key
+while the node has children and there are bytes left in the key.
+
+If a leaf node is reached, that node contains the following payload:
+
+-   If _pb_ < 8, let
+
+    -   _idxpos_ be the sign-extended integer value of length _pb_ at
+        _ppos_
+
+-   If _pb_ &ge; 8 (always the case in Cassandra 5 files), let
+
+    -   _hash_ be the byte at _ppos_
+
+    -   _idxpos_ be the sign-extended integer value of length _pb-7_ at
+        _ppos+1_
+
+If at any step there is no transition corresponding to the byte of the
+key, or if _hash_ is present and the lowest-order byte of the key's hash
+value does not match it, the index and sstable have no mapping for the
+given key.
+
+Otherwise _idxpos_ specifies:
+
+-   if _idxpos_ &ge; 0, the row index file contains an index for the
+    given key (see row index section below) at position _idxpos_
+
+-   otherwise, the data associated with the key starts at position
+    ~_idxpos_ in the data file
+
+In either case the content in the respective file starts with the
+serialization of the partition key, which must be compared with the key
+requested to ensure they match.
+
+## Row index
+Implemented in [`RowIndexReader.java`](RowIndexReader.java)
+
+Layout:
+```
+[row index, padded to page boundary]
+...
+[row index, padded to page boundary]
+```
+Where each row index contains:
+```
+[nodes page, 4096 bytes]
+...
+[nodes page, 4096 bytes]
+[nodes page including root node, ≤4096 bytes]
+[partition key, with short length]
+[position of the partition in the data file, unsigned vint]
+[position of the root node, vint encoding the difference between the
+start of the data file position and the position of the root node]
+[number of rows in the partition, unsigned vint]
+[partition deletion time, 12 bytes]
+```
+
+The entries in the partition index point to the position at the start of
+the partition key.
+
+The payload reachable at the end of a traversal contains:
+
+-   Integer of _pb_&7 bytes specifying the offset within the partition
+    where the relevant row is contained
+
+-   If _pb_ &ge; 8, 12 bytes of deletion time active at the start of the
+    row index block

+ * This class holds the partition index as an on-disk trie mapping unique prefixes of decorated keys to:
+ * <ul>
+ *     <li>data file position if the partition is small enough to not need an index
+ *     <li>row index file position if the partition has a row index
+ * </ul>plus<ul>
+ *     <li>the last 8 bits of the key's filter hash which is used to filter out mismatched keys without reading the key
+ * </ul>
+ * To avoid having to create an object to carry the result, the two are distinguished by sign. Direct-to-dfile entries
+ * are recorded as ~position (~ instead of - to differentiate 0 in ifile from 0 in dfile).
+ * <p>
+ * In either case the contents of the file at this position start with a serialization of the key which can be used
+ * to verify the correct key is found.
+ * <p>
+ * The indexes are created by {@link PartitionIndexBuilder}. To read the index one must obtain a thread-unsafe
+ * {@link Reader} or {@link IndexPosIterator}.

+/**
+ * Incremental builders of on-disk tries which packs trie stages into disk cache pages.
+ *
+ * The incremental core is as in {@link IncrementalTrieWriterSimple}, which this augments by:
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li> calculating branch sizes reflecting the amount of data that needs to be written to store the trie
+ *     branch rooted at each node
+ *   <li> delaying writing any part of a completed node until its branch size is above the page size
+ *   <li> laying out (some of) its children branches (each smaller than a page) to be contained within a page
+ *   <li> adjusting the branch size to reflect the fact that the children are now written (i.e. removing their size)
+ * </ul>
+ * <p>
+ * The process is bottom-up, i.e. pages are packed at the bottom and the root page is usually smaller.
+ * This may appear less efficient than a top-down process which puts more information in the top pages that
+ * tend to stay in cache, but in both cases performing a search will usually require an additional disk read
+ * for the leaf page. When we maximize the amount of relevant data that read brings by using the bottom-up
+ * process, we have practically the same efficiency with smaller intermediate page footprint, i.e. fewer data
+ * to keep in cache.
+ * <p>
+ * As an example, taking a sample page size fitting 4 nodes, a simple trie would be split like this:
+ * <pre>
+ * Node 0 |
+ *   -a-> | Node 1
+ *        |   -s-> Node 2
+ *        |          -k-> Node 3 (payload 1)
+ *        |          -s-> Node 4 (payload 2)
+ *        -----------------------------------
+ *   -b-> Node 5 |
+ *          -a-> |Node 6
+ *               |  -n-> Node 7
+ *               |         -k-> Node 8 (payload 3)
+ *               |                -s-> Node 9 (payload 4)
+ * </pre>
+ * where lines denote page boundaries.
+ * <p>
+ * The process itself will start by adding "ask" which adds three nodes after the root to the stack. Adding "ass"
+ * completes Node 3, setting its branch a size of 1 and replaces it on the stack with Node 4.
+ * The step of adding "bank" starts by completing Node 4 (size 1), Node 2 (size 3), Node 1 (size 4), then adds 4 more
+ * nodes to the stack. Adding "banks" descends one more node.
+ * <p>
+ * The trie completion step completes nodes 9 (size 1), 8 (size 2), 7 (size 3), 6 (size 4), 5 (size 5). Since the size
+ * of node 5 is above the page size, the algorithm lays out its children. Nodes 6, 7, 8, 9 are written in order. The
+ * size of node 5 is now just the size of it individually, 1. The process continues with completing Node 0 (size 6).
+ * This is bigger than the page size, so some of its children need to be written. The algorithm takes the largest,
+ * Node 1, and lays it out with its children in the file. Node 0 now has an adjusted size of 2 which is below the
+ * page size, and we can continue the process.
+ * <p>
+ * Since this was the root of the trie, the current page is padded and the remaining nodes 0, 5 are written.

+/**
+ * Trie node types and manipulation mechanisms. The main purpose of this is to allow for handling tries directly as
+ * they are on disk without any serialization, and to enable the creation of such files.
+ * <p>
+ * The serialization methods take as argument a generic {@code SerializationNode} and provide a method {@code typeFor}
+ * for choosing a suitable type to represent it, which can then be used to calculate size and write the node.
+ * <p>
+ * To read a file containing trie nodes, one would use {@code at} to identify the node type and then the various
+ * read methods to retrieve the data. They all take a buffer (usually memory-mapped) containing the data, and a position
+ * in it that identifies the node.
+ * <p>
+ * These node types do not specify any treatment of payloads. They are only concerned with providing 4 bits of
+ * space for {@code payloadFlags}, and a way of calculating the position after the node. Users of this class by convention
+ * use non-zero payloadFlags to indicate a payload exists, write it (possibly in flag-dependent format) at serialization
+ * time after the node itself is written, and read it using the {@code payloadPosition} value.
+ * <p>
+ * To improve efficiency, multiple node types depending on the number of transitions are provided:
+ * -- payload only, which has no outgoing transitions
+ * -- single outgoing transition
+ * -- sparse, which provides a list of transition bytes with corresponding targets
+ * -- dense, where the transitions span a range of values and having the list (and the search in it) can be avoided
+ * <p>
+ * For each of the transition-carrying types we also have "in-page" versions where transition targets are the 4, 8 or 12
+ * lowest bits of the position within the same page. To save one further byte, the single in-page versions using 4 or 12
+ * bits cannot carry a payload.
+ * <p>
+ * This class is effectively an enumeration; abstract class permits instances to extend each other and reuse code.
+ * <p>
+ * See {@code org/apache/cassandra/io/sstable/format/bti/BtiFormat.md} for a description of the mechanisms of writing
+ * and reading an on-disk trie.

+# Byte-comparable translation of types (ByteComparable/ByteSource)
+
+## Problem / Motivation
+
+Cassandra has a very heavy reliance on comparisons — they are used throughout read and write paths, coordination,
+compaction, etc. to be able to order and merge results. It also supports a range of types which often require the
+compared object to be completely in memory to order correctly, which in turn has necessitated interfaces where
+comparisons can only be applied if the compared objects are completely loaded.
+
+This has some rather painful implications on the performance of the database, both in terms of the time it takes to load,
+compare and garbage collect, as well as in terms of the space required to hold complete keys in on-disk indices and
+deserialized versions in in-memory data structures. In addition to this, the reliance on comparisons forces Cassandra to
+use only comparison-based structures, which aren’t the most efficient.
+
+There is no way to escape the need to compare and order objects in Cassandra, but the machinery for doing this can be
+done much more smartly if we impose some simple structure in the objects we deal with — byte ordering.
+
+The term “byte order” as used in this document refers to the property of being ordered via lexicographic compare on the
+unsigned values of the byte contents. Some of the types in Cassandra already have this property (e.g. strings, blobs),
+but other most heavily used ones (e.g. integers, uuids) don’t.
+
+When byte order is universally available for the types used for keys, several key advantages can be put to use:
+
+- Comparisons can be done using a single simple method, core machinery doesn’t need to know anything about types.
+- Prefix differences are enough to define order; unique prefixes can be used instead of complete keys.
+- Tries can be used to store, query and iterate over ranges of keys, providing fast lookup and prefix compression.
+- Merging can be performed by merging tries, significantly reducing the number of necessary comparisons.
+
+## Ordering the types
+
+As we want to keep all existing functionality in Cassandra, we need to be able to deal with existing
+non-byte-order-comparable types. This requires some form of conversion of each value to a sequence of bytes that can be
+byte-order compared (also called "byte-comparable"), as well as the inverse conversion from byte-comparable to value.
+
+As one of the main advantages of byte order is the ability to decide comparisons early, without having to read the whole
+of the input sequence, byte-ordered interpretations of values are represented as sources of bytes with unknown length,
+using the interface `ByteSource`. The interface declares one method, `next()` which produces the next byte of the
+stream, or `ByteSource.END_OF_STREAM` if the stream is exhausted.
+
+`END_OF_STREAM` is chosen as `-1` (`(int) -1`, which is outside the range of possible byte values), to make comparing
+two byte sources as trivial (and thus fast) as possible.
+
+To be able to completely abstract type information away from the storage machinery, we also flatten complex types into
+single byte sequences. To do this, we add separator bytes in front, between components, and at the end and do some
+encoding of variable-length sequences.
+
+The other interface provided by this package `ByteComparable`, is an entity whose byte-ordered interpretation can be
+requested. The interface is implemented by `DecoratedKey`, and can be requested for clustering keys and bounds using
+`ClusteringComparator.asByteComparable`. The inverse translation is provided by
+`Buffer/NativeDecoratedKey.fromByteComparable` and `ClusteringComparator.clustering/bound/boundaryFromByteComparable`.
+
+The (rather technical) paragraphs below detail the encoding we have chosen for the various types. For simplicity we
+only discuss the bidirectional `OSS50` version of the translation. The implementations in code of the various mappings
+are in the releavant `AbstractType` subclass.
+
+### Desired properties
+
+Generally, we desire the following two properties from the byte-ordered translations of values we use in the database:

+
+The former is the essential requirement, and the latter allows construction of encodings of sequences of multiple
+values, as well as a little more efficiency in the data structures.
+
+To more efficiently encode byte-ordered blobs, however, we use a slightly tweaked version of the above requirements:

+These versions allow the addition of a separator byte after each value, and guarantee that the combination with
+separator fulfills the original requirements. (3) is somewhat stronger than (1) but is necessarily true if (2) is also
+in force, while (4) trivially follows from (2).
+
+## Fixed length unsigned integers (Murmur token, date/time)
+
+This is the trivial case, as we can simply use the input bytes in big-endian order. The comparison result is the same,
+and fixed length values are trivially prefix free, i.e. (1) and (2) are satisfied, and thus (3) and (4) follow from the
+observation above.
+
+## Fixed-length signed integers (byte, short, int, legacy bigint)
+
+As above, but we need to invert the sign bit of the number to put negative numbers before positives. This maps
+`MIN_VALUE` to `0x00`..., `-1` to `0x7F…`, `0` to `0x80…`, and `MAX_VALUE` to `0xFF…`; comparing the resulting number
+as an unsigned integer has the same effect as comparing the source signed.
+

+
+## Variable-length encoding of integers (current bigint)
+
+Another way to encode integers that may save significant amounts of space when smaller numbers are often in use, but
+still permits large values to be efficiently encoded, is to use an encoding scheme similar to UTF-8.
+
+For unsigned numbers this can be done by starting the number with as many 1s in most significant bits as there are
+additional bytes in the encoding, followed by a 0, and the bits of the number. Numbers between 0 and 127 are encoded
+in one byte, and each additional byte adds 7 more bits. Values that use all 8 bytes do not need a 9th bit of 0 and can
+thus fit 9 bytes. Because longer numbers have more 1s in their MSBs, they compare
+higher than shorter ones (and we always use the shortest representation). Because the length is specified through these
+initial bits, no value can be a prefix of another.
+
+
+| Value            | bytes                   | encodes as                 |

+| 0                | 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 | 00                         |

+| 2^64- 1          | FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF | FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF |
+
+To encode signed numbers, we must start with the sign bit, and must also ensure that longer negative numbers sort
+smaller than shorter ones. The first bit of the encoding is the inverted sign (i.e. 1 for positive, 0 for negative),
+followed by the length encoded as a sequence of bits that matches the inverted sign, followed by a bit that differs
+(like above, not necessary for 9-byte encodings) and the bits of the number's two's complement.

+## Fixed-size floating-point numbers (float, double)
+
+IEEE-754 was designed with byte-by-byte comparisons in mind, and provides an important guarantee about the bytes of a
+floating point number:
+* If x and y are of the same sign, bytes(x) ≥ bytes(y) ⇔ |x| ≥ |y|.
+
+Thus, to be able to order floating point numbers as unsigned integers, we can:
+
+* Flip the sign bit so negatives are smaller than positive numbers.
+* If the number was negative, also flip all the other bits so larger magnitudes become smaller integers.
+
+This matches exactly the behaviour of `Double.compare`, which doesn’t fully agree with numerical comparisons (see spec)
+in order to define a natural order over the floating point numbers.
+
+Examples:
+
+
+| Type and value | bytes                   | encodes as              |
+| -------------- | ----------------------- | ----------------------- |
+| float +1.0     | 3F 80 00 00             | BF 80 00 00             |
+| float +0.0     | 00 00 00 00             | 80 00 00 00             |
+| float -0.0     | 80 00 00 00             | 7F FF FF FF             |
+| float -1.0     | BF 80 00 00             | 40 7F FF FF             |

+
+## UUIDs
+
+UUIDs are fixed-length unsigned integers, where the UUID version/type is compared first, and where bits need to be
+reordered for the time UUIDs. To create a byte-ordered representation, we reorder the bytes: pull the version digit
+first, then the rest of the digits, using the special time order if the version is equal to one.
+
+Examples:
+
+
+| Type and value | bytes                                | encodes as                       |

+
+## Multi-component sequences (Partition or Clustering keys, tuples), bounds and nulls
+
+As mentioned above, we encode sequences by adding separator bytes in front, between components, and a terminator at the
+end. The values we chose for the separator and terminator are `0x40` and `0x38`, and they serve several purposes:
+
+- Permits partially specified bounds, with strict/exclusive or non-strict/inclusive semantics. This is done by finishing
+  a bound with a terminator value that is smaller/greater than the separator and terminator. We can use `0x20` for `<`/`≥`
+  and `0x60` for `≤`/`>`.
+- Permits encoding of `null` and `empty` values. We use `0x3E` as the separator for nulls and `0x3F` for empty,
+  followed by no value bytes. This is always smaller than a sequence with non-null value for this component, but not
+  smaller than a sequence that ends in this component.
+- Helps identify the ending of variable-length components (see below).
+
+Examples:
+
+
+| Types and values         | bytes                  | encodes as                     |

+| TOP                      |                        | 60                             |
+
+(The middle dot · doesn't exist in the encoding, it’s just a visualisation of the boundaries in the examples.)
+
+Since:
+
+- all separators in use are within `0x10`-`0xEF`, and
+- we use the same separator for internal components, with the exception of nulls which we encode with a smaller
+  separator
+- the sequence has a fixed number of components or we use a different trailing value whenever it can be shorter
+
+the properties (3) and (4) guarantee that the byte comparison of the encoding goes in the same direction as the
+lexicographical comparison of the sequence. In combination with the third point above, (4) also ensures that no encoding
+is a prefix of another. Since we have (1) and (2), (3) and (4) are also satisfied.
+
+Note that this means that the encodings of all partition and clustering keys used in the database will be prefix-free.
+
+## Variable-length byte comparables (ASCII, UTF-8 strings, blobs, InetAddress)
+
+In isolation, these can be compared directly without reinterpretation. However, once we place these inside a flattened
+sequence of values we need to clearly define the boundaries between values while maintaining order. To do this we use an
+end-of-value marker; since shorter values must be smaller than longer, this marker must be 0 and we need to find a way
+to encode/escape actual 0s in the input sequence.
+
+The method we chose for this is the following:
+
+- If the input does not end on `00`, a `00` byte is appended at the end.
+- If the input contains a `00` byte, it is encoded as `00 FF`.
+- If the input contains a sequence of *n* `00` bytes, they are encoded as `00` `FE` (*n*-1 times) `FF`
+  (so that we don’t double the size of `00` blobs).
+- If the input ends in `00`, the last `FF` is changed to `FE`
+  (to ensure it’s smaller than the same value with `00` appended).
+
+Examples:
+
+
+| bytes/sequence     | encodes as               |
+| ------------------ | ------------------------ |
+| 22 00              | 22 00 FE                 |
+| 22 00 00 33        | 22 00 FE FF 33 00        |
+| 22 00 11           | 22 00 FF 11 00           |
+| (blob 22, short 0) | 40·22 00·40·80 00·40 |
+| ≥ (blob 22 00)    | 40·22 00 FE·20         |
+| ≤ (blob 22 00 00) | 40·22 00 FE FE·60      |
+
+Within the encoding, a `00` byte can only be followed by a `FE` or `FF` byte, and hence if an encoding is a prefix of
+another, the latter has to have a `FE` or `FF` as the next byte, which ensures both (4) (adding `10`-`EF` to the former
+makes it no longer a prefix of the latter) and (3) (adding `10`-`EF` to the former makes it smaller than the latter; in
+this case the original value of the former is a prefix of the original value of the latter).
+
+## Variable-length integers (varint, RandomPartitioner token), legacy encoding
+
+If integers of unbounded length are guaranteed to start with a non-zero digit, to compare them we can first use a signed
+length, as numbers with longer representations have higher magnitudes. Only if the lengths match we need to compare the
+sequence of digits, which now has a known length.
+
+(Note: The meaning of “digit” here is not the same as “decimal digit”. We operate with numbers stored as bytes, thus it
+makes most sense to treat the numbers as encoded in base-256, where each digit is a byte.)
+
+This translates to the following encoding of varints:
+
+- Strip any leading zeros. Note that for negative numbers, `BigInteger` encodes leading 0 as `0xFF`.
+- If the length is 128 or greater, lead with a byte of `0xFF` (positive) or `0x00` (negative) for every 128 until there
+  are less than 128 left.
+- Encode the sign and (remaining) length of the number as a byte:
+  - `0x80 + (length - 1)` for positive numbers (so that greater magnitude is higher);
+  - `0x7F - (length - 1)` for negative numbers (so that greater magnitude is lower, and all negatives are lower than
+    positives).
+- Paste the bytes of the number, 2’s complement encoded for negative numbers (`BigInteger` already applies the 2’s
+  complement).
+
+Since when comparing two numbers we either have a difference in the length prefix, or the lengths are the same if we
+need to compare the content bytes, there is no risk that a longer number can be confused with a shorter combined in a
+multi-component sequence. In other words, no value can be a prefix of another, thus we have (1) and (2) and thus (3) and (4)
+as well.
+
+Examples:
+
+
+|   value | bytes            | encodes as              |
+| ------: | ---------------- | ----------------------- |
+|       0 | 00               | 80·00                  |
+|       1 | 01               | 80·01                  |
+|      -1 | FF               | 7F·FF                  |
+|     255 | 00 FF            | 80·FF                  |
+|    -256 | FF 00            | 7F·00                  |
+|     256 | 01 00            | 81·01 00               |

+|  2^1024 | 01 00(128 times) | FF 80·01 00(128 times) |
+| -2^2048 | FF 00(256 times) | 00 00 80·00(256 times) |

+
+## Variable-length integers, current encoding
+
+Because variable-length integers are also often used to store smaller range integers, it makes sense to also apply
+the variable-length integer encoding. Thus, the current varint scheme chooses to:
+
+- Strip any leading zeros. Note that for negative numbers, `BigInteger` encodes leading 0 as `0xFF`.
+- Map numbers directly to their [variable-length integer encoding](#variable-length-encoding-of-integers-current-bigint),
+  if they have 6 bytes or less.
+- Otherwise, encode as:
+  - a sign byte (00 for negative numbers, FF for positive, distinct from the leading byte of the variable-length
+    encoding above)
+  - a variable-length encoded number of bytes adjusted by -7 (so that the smallest length this encoding uses maps to
+    0), inverted for negative numbers (so that greater length compares smaller)
+  - the bytes of the number, two's complement encoded.
+    We never use a longer encoding (e.g. using the second method if variable-length suffices or with added 00 leading
+    bytes) if a shorter one suffices.
+
+By the same reasoning as above, and the fact that the sign byte cannot be confused with a variable-length encoding
+first byte, no value can be a prefix of another. As the sign byte compares smaller for negative (respectively bigger
+for positive numbers) than any variable-length encoded integer, the comparison order is maintained when one number
+uses variable-length encoding, and the other doesn't. Longer numbers compare smaller when negative (because of the
+inverted length bytes), and bigger when positive.

+## Variable-length floating-point decimals (decimal)
+
+Variable-length floats are more complicated, but we can treat them similarly to IEEE-754 floating point numbers, by
+normalizing them by splitting them into sign, mantissa and signed exponent such that the mantissa is a number below 1
+with a non-zero leading digit. We can then compare sign, exponent and mantissa in sequence (where the comparison of
+exponent and mantissa are with reversed meaning if the sign is negative) and that gives us the decimal ordering.
+
+A bit of extra care must be exercised when encoding decimals. Since fractions like `0.1` cannot be perfectly encoded in
+binary, decimals (and mantissas) cannot be encoded in binary or base-256 correctly. A decimal base must be used; since
+we deal with bytes, it makes most sense to make things a little more efficient by using base-100. Floating-point
+encoding and the comparison idea from the previous paragraph work in any number base.
+
+`BigDecimal` presents a further challenge, as it encodes decimals using a mixture of bases: numbers have a binary-
+encoded integer part and a decimal power-of-ten scale. The bytes produced by a `BigDecimal` are thus not suitable for
+direct conversion to byte comparable and we must first instantiate the bytes as a `BigDecimal`, and then apply the
+class’s methods to operate on it as a number.
+
+We then use the following encoding:
+
+- If the number is 0, the encoding is a single `0x80` byte.
+- Convert the input to signed mantissa and signed exponent in base-100. If the value is negative, invert the sign of the
+  exponent to form the "modulated exponent".
+- Output a byte encoding:
+  - the sign of the number encoded as `0x80` if positive and `0x00` if negative,
+  - the exponent length (stripping leading 0s) in bytes as `0x40 + modulated_exponent_length`, where the length is given
+    with the sign of the modulated exponent.
+- Output `exponent_length` bytes of modulated exponent, 2’s complement encoded so that negative values are correctly
+  ordered.
+- Output `0x80 + leading signed byte of mantissa`, which is obtained by multiplying the mantissa by 100 and rounding to
+  -∞. The rounding is done so that the remainder of the mantissa becomes positive, and thus every new byte adds some
+  value to it, making shorter sequences lower in value.
+- Update the mantissa to be the remainder after the rounding above. The result is guaranteed to be 0 or greater.
+- While the mantissa is non-zero, output `0x80 + leading byte` as above and update the mantissa to be the remainder.
+- Output `0x00`.
+
+As a description of how this produces the correct ordering, consider the result of comparison in the first differing
+byte:
+
+- Difference in the first byte can be caused by:
+  - Difference in sign of the number or being zero, which yields the correct ordering because
+    - Negative numbers start with `0x3c` - `0x44`
+    - Zero starts with `0x80`
+    - Positive numbers start with `0xbc` - `0xc4`
+  - Difference in sign of the exponent modulated with the sign of the number. In a positive number negative exponents
+    mean smaller values, while in a negative number it’s the opposite, thus the modulation with the number’s sign
+    ensures the correct ordering.
+  - Difference in modulated length of the exponent: again, since we gave the length a sign that is formed from both
+    the sign of the exponent and the sign of the number, smaller numbers mean smaller exponent in the positive number
+    case, and bigger exponent in the negative number case. In either case this provides the correct ordering.
+- Difference in one of the bytes of the modulated exponent (whose length and sign are now equal for both compared
+  numbers):
+  - Smaller byte means a smaller modulated exponent. In the positive case this means a smaller exponent, thus a smaller
+    number. In the negative case this means the exponent is bigger, the absolute value of the number as well, and thus
+    the number is smaller.
+- It is not possible for the difference to mix one number’s exponent with another’s mantissa (as such numbers would have
+  different leading bytes).
+- Difference in a mantissa byte present in both inputs:
+  - Smaller byte means smaller signed mantissa and hence smaller number when the exponents are equal.
+- One mantissa ending before another:
+  - This will result in the shorter being treated as smaller (since the trailing byte is `00`).
+  - Since all mantissas have at least one byte, this can’t happen in the leading mantissa byte.
+  - Thus the other number’s bytes from here on are not negative, and at least one of them must be non-zero, which means
+    its mantissa is bigger and thus it encodes a bigger number.
+
+Examples:
+
+
+|      value |  mexp | mantissa | mantissa in bytes | encodes as           |
+| ---------: | ----: | -------- | ----------------- | -------------------- |
+|        1.1 |     1 | 0.0110   | .  01 10          | C1·01·81 8A·00    |

+(mexp stands for “modulated exponent”, i.e. exponent * sign)
+
+The values are prefix-free, because no exponent’s encoding can be a prefix of another, and the mantissas can never have
+a `00` byte at any place other than the last byte, and thus all (1)-(4) are satisfied.
+
+## Nulls and empty encodings
+
+Some types in Cassandra (e.g. numbers) admit null values that are represented as empty byte buffers. This is
+distinct from null byte buffers, which can also appear in some cases. Particularly, null values in clustering
+columns, when allowed by the type, are interpreted as empty byte buffers, encoded with the empty separator `0x3F`.
+Unspecified clustering columns (at the end of a clustering specification), possible with `COMPACT STORAGE` or secondary
+indexes, use the null separator `0x3E`.
+
+## Reversed types
+
+Reversing a type is straightforward: flip all bits of the encoded byte sequence. Since the source type encoding must
+satisfy (3) and (4), the flipped bits also do for the reversed comparator. (It is also true that if the source type
+satisfies (1)-(2), the reversed will satisfy these too.)
+
+In a sequence we also must correct the empty encoding for a reversed type (since it must be greater than all values).
+Instead of `0x3F` we use `0x41` as the separator byte. Null encodings are not modified, as nulls compare smaller even
+in reversed types.

+     * Finishes in an escaped state (either with ESCAPE or ESCAPED_0_CONT), which in {@link Multi} is followed by
+     * a component separator between 0x10 and 0xFE.

+     * E.g. "A\0\0B" translates to 4100FEFF4200
+     *      "A\0B\0"               4100FF4200FE (+00 for {@link Version#LEGACY})

+     * If in a single byte source, the bytes could be simply passed unchanged, but this would not allow us to

+     * also makes sure shorter components are treated as smaller.
+     *
+     * The encoding is not prefix-free, since e.g. the encoding of "A" (4100) is a prefix of the encoding of "A\0"
+     * (4100FE), but the byte following the prefix is guaranteed to be FE or FF, which makes the encoding weakly
+     * prefix-free. Additionally, any such prefix sequence will compare smaller than the value to which it is a prefix,
+     * because any permitted separator byte will be smaller than the byte following the prefix.

 /**
  * This class is to monitor the JMX compatability cross different versions, and relies on a gold set of metrics which
  * were generated following the instructions below.  These tests only check for breaking changes, so will ignore any
  * new metrics added in a release.  If the latest release is not finalized yet then the latest version might fail
  * if a unrelesed metric gets renamed, if this happens then the gold set should be updated for the latest version.
- *
+ * <p>
  * If a test fails for a previous version, then this means we have a JMX compatability regression, if the metric has
  * gone through proper deprecation then the metric can be excluded using the patterns used in other tests, if the metric
  * has not gone through proper deprecation then the change should be looked at more carfuly to avoid breaking users.
- *
+ * <p>
  * In order to generate the dump for another version, launch a cluster then run the following
  * {@code
  * create keyspace cql_test_keyspace WITH replication = {'class': 'SimpleStrategy', 'replication_factor': '1'};
