Description

Compact Storage partial support was returned recently. 

We need to elaborate in the docs on what does this mean to the users.

• Compact Storage support was returned, except for the supercolumn tables.
• This was done because during the big 4.0 beta testing changes of behavior after DROP COMPACT STORAGE usage were revealed.
