Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-2231:
---------------------------------------------
The comment still applies to DynamicCompositeType, but what the comment doesn't
says is that if you use a 0x01 as the end-of-component, it expects you have no
remaining component. The error message tells that apparently there is some
bytes remaining after that 0x01. You can look the discussion above on that
ticket for why that doesn't make sense to have anything after a 0x01.

> CompositeType is a custom comparer that makes it possible to create
> comparable composite values out of the basic types that Cassandra currently
> supports, such as Long, UUID, etc. This is very useful in both the creation
> of custom inverted indexes using columns in a skinny row, where each column
> name is a composite value, and also when using Cassandra's built-in secondary
> index support, where it can be used to encode the values in the columns that
> Cassandra indexes. One scenario for the usage of these is documented here:
> http://www.anuff.com/2010/07/secondary-indexes-in-cassandra.html. Source for
> contribution is attached and has been previously maintained on github here:
