>                 Key: CASSANDRA-12545
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12545
>             Project: Cassandra
>          Issue Type: Sub-task
>            Reporter: Eduardo Aguinaga
>            Priority: Trivial
>
> Overview:
> In May through June of 2016 a static analysis was performed on version 3.0.5 
> of the Cassandra source code. The analysis included an automated analysis 
> using HP Fortify v4.21 SCA and a manual analysis utilizing SciTools 
> Understand v4. The results of that analysis includes the issue below.
> Issue:
> In the file CoalescingStrategies.java on line 502 there is a portability 
> problem with the call to toLowerCase() because it has different locales which 
> may lead to unexpected output. This may also circumvent custom validation 
> routines.
> {code:java}
> CoalescingStrategies.java, lines 502-519:
> 502 String strategyCleaned = strategy.trim().toUpperCase();
> 503 switch(strategyCleaned)
> 504 {
> 505 case "MOVINGAVERAGE":
> 506     classname = MovingAverageCoalescingStrategy.class.getName();
> 507     break;
> 508 case "FIXED":
> 509     classname = FixedCoalescingStrategy.class.getName();
> 510     break;
> 511 case "TIMEHORIZON":
> 512     classname = 
> TimeHorizonMovingAverageCoalescingStrategy.class.getName();
> 513     break;
> 514 case "DISABLED":
> 515     classname = DisabledCoalescingStrategy.class.getName();
> 516     break;
> 517 default:
> 518     classname = strategy;
> 519 }
