What is the difference between Varchar and text data type in Cassandra CQL.
https://docs.datastax.com/en/cql/3.0/cql/cql_reference/cql_data_types_c.html
When I try to create a table with field data type as varchar it is creating as text data type
CREATE TABLE test ( empID int, first_name varchar, last_name varchar, PRIMARY KEY (empID) );
DESC test table gives me the below result.
CREATE TABLE test (
empid int PRIMARY KEY,
first_name text,
last_name text
) WITH bloom_filter_fp_chance = 0.01
AND caching = {'keys': 'ALL', 'rows_per_partition': 'NONE'}
AND comment = ''
AND compaction = {'class': 'org.apache.cassandra.db.compaction.SizeTieredCompactionStrategy', 'max_threshold': '32', 'min_threshold': '4'}
AND compression = {'chunk_length_in_kb': '64', 'class': 'org.apache.cassandra.io.compress.LZ4Compressor'}
AND crc_check_chance = 1.0
AND dclocal_read_repair_chance = 0.1
AND default_time_to_live = 0
AND gc_grace_seconds = 864000
AND max_index_interval = 2048
AND memtable_flush_period_in_ms = 0
AND min_index_interval = 128
AND read_repair_chance = 0.0
AND speculative_retry = '99PERCENTILE';
