Description

from cassandra-cli, say type "help assume"

you will find:
Supported values are:

• AsciiType
• BytesType
• CounterColumnType (distributed counter column)
• IntegerType (a generic variable-length integer type)
• LexicalUUIDType
• LongType
• UTF8Type

ok now:
[default@cfs] assume inode comparator as UTF8Type;
Type 'UTF8Type' was not found. Available: bytes, integer, long, lexicaluuid, timeuuid, utf8, ascii.

so looks like the "supported type list should be update by taking away the "Type" post-fix..

however, on the other hand, you can't really use it:

[default@cfs] update column family inode;
Unable to find abstract-type class 'org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.utf8'

looks like from the update, you still need the "Type" (case insensitive?)
