The identifier of CQL element (keyspace, table, column, etc).

It has two representations:

  • the "CQL" form, which is how you would type the identifier in a CQL query. It is case-insensitive unless enclosed in double quotation marks; in addition, identifiers that contain special characters (anything other than alphanumeric and underscore), or match CQL keywords, must be double-quoted (with inner double quotes escaped as "").
  • the "internal" form, which is how the name is stored in Cassandra system tables. It is lower-case for case-sensitive identifiers, and in the exact case for case-sensitive identifiers.
Examples:
Create statementCase-sensitive?CQL idInternal id
CREATE TABLE t(foo int PRIMARY KEY)Nofoofoo
CREATE TABLE t(Foo int PRIMARY KEY)Nofoofoo
CREATE TABLE t("Foo" int PRIMARY KEY)Yes"Foo"Foo
CREATE TABLE t("foo bar" int PRIMARY KEY)Yes"foo bar"foo bar
CREATE TABLE t("foo""bar" int PRIMARY KEY)Yes"foo""bar"foo"bar
CREATE TABLE t("create" int PRIMARY KEY)Yes (reserved keyword)"create"create
This class provides a common representation and avoids any ambiguity about which form the identifier is in. Driver clients will generally want to create instances from the CQL form with fromCql(String).

There is no internal caching; if you reuse the same identifiers often, consider caching them in your application.
