Jonathan Ellis updated CASSANDRA-912:
-------------------------------------
Summary: First-class commandline interface for cassandra (was:
cassandra-cli should handle binary column names/values, (and ultimately keys)
or die)
> First-class commandline interface for cassandra
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-912
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-912
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Tools
> Affects Versions: 0.6
> Reporter: Eric Evans
>
> While a useful tool for education and simple tests, cassandra-cli is
> ultimately limted by the fact that column names and values are binary, (and
> eventually keys will be as well, see CASSANDRA-767).
> The current approach when writing consists of encoding column names as UTF8,
> and passing the value as a byte[] of the String parsed from the command. When
> performing a read, the column names outputted are the result of the
> toString() method of the comparator (the result of which is not always
> meaningful), and values are again treated as raw strings. This is almost
> certainly broken anywhere that the CF comparator is not UTF8Type and values
> are anything but strings.
> One possible approach would be to follow HBase's lead and simply allow binary
> values to be encoded as strings (see:
> http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hbase/Shell).
