Description

When issuing an alter table to add a column with a default, the java client is only specifying that default as the "read default". This is contrary to what you get in SQL if you do "ALTER TABLE x ADD COLUMN y int DEFAULT 3" – it will also apply to the write default (i.e allow you to insert a new row without specifying y).
