Description

In this refactor of CFPropDefs to TableAttributes for CASSANDRA-9712, three obsolete keywords were removed:

        obsoleteKeywords.add("index_interval");
        obsoleteKeywords.add("replicate_on_write");
        obsoleteKeywords.add("populate_io_cache_on_flush");

 
The Thrift API continues to reference these keywords as deprecated, so it's not clear that they are actually unsupported.

Could we either add them back as obsoleteKeywords, or add a change log that statements with these properties will fail (There is already a changelog about "index_interval" but not the other two)? I understand that the Thrift API is totally deprecated so I don't feel strongly about cleaning it up.
