Problem is that you cant use cassandra-cli to manipulate > stored rows. Compatibility with other applications using api following > cassandra integer encoding standard is problematic too. > Because adding new datatype/validator is fairly simple I recommend to add > int4 data type. Compatibility with hector is important because it is most > used Java cassandra api and lot of applications are using it. > This problem was discussed several times already > http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.hector.user/2125 > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2585 > It would be nice to have compatibility with cassandra-cli and other > applications without rewriting hector apps. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
