List of Cassandra cli validation types

Listing UTF8Type and friends in the source: https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=cassandra.git;a=tree;f=src/java/org/apache/cassandra/db/marshal

Cassandra CQL is still evolving. I cannot use it because of bugs like https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4421 . tldr: Cannot write from non-CQL Astyanax or Hector to CF defined in CQL with data in non-default validators. So inserting a date will fail because the default validator is UTF8Type.

I think that’s ok since CLI-Definitions give you all CQL 3 benefits – aside from being SQL-lookalike.
