Patch rebased and CI resubmitted.
> cqlsh: interpret CQL type for formatting blob types
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-11274
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11274
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Tools
> Reporter: Stefania
> Assignee: Stefania
> Fix For: 3.x
>
>
> During the development of CASSANDRA-11053 we have added changes to the cqlsh
> formatting code so that we can format {{blob}} types correctly even if they
> are represented as {{str}} rather than {{bytearray}}.
> At the moment we ensure {{blob}} are of type {{bytearray}} via the following
> shortcut:
> {code}
> cassandra.cqltypes.BytesType.deserialize = staticmethod(lambda byts,
> protocol_version: bytearray(byts))
> {code}
> After CASSANDRA-11053 is committed there will be a similar shortcut to
> override the fast serializers implemented in cython.
> Decoding the CQL type is safer in that it decouples cqlsh formatting from the
> types returned by the driver deserializers but it is also unnecessary for
> CASSANDRA-11053 performance goals and risky for older releases.
> Therefore this ticket delivers this functionality but only on trunk.
