Pavel Yaskevich resolved CASSANDRA-3231.
----------------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Problem
This is not a CQL/CLI problem but a problem in FBUtilities bytesToHex and
hexToBytes methods. New issue would be opened to fix that (if needed).
> CQL does not throw an error when invalid hex is supplied
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-3231
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3231
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 0.8.5
> Reporter: Brandon Williams
> Assignee: Pavel Yaskevich
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.8.7
>
>
> As reported on irc, if you try to create an index on a CF with a default
> comparator of BytesType, but you supply invalid hex, weird things happen.
> Namely if you try to create one on 'category' you instead get one on
> '\xca\xfe\xff\xff', which is 4 bytes that appears to coincide with attempting
> to interpret 'ca', 'te', 'go', 'ry' as hex.
