malformed UPDATE queries causing NumberFormatException, AssertionError ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-3889 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3889 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: Bug Components: Core Affects Versions: 1.1.0 Environment: Cassandra 1.1 Reporter: paul cannon Priority: Minor Given a columnfamily like: {code} CREATE TABLE CounterCF (KEY text PRIMARY KEY, count_me counter) WITH comparator = ascii AND default_validation = counter; {code} This query causes Cassandra to throw a NumberFormatException and close the thrift connection (yes, it's not valid, cause it's a counter CF) {code} UPDATE CounterCF SET count_me = count_me + 2, x = 'a' WHERE key = 'counter1'; {code} And this variant causes an AssertionError and a permanently unresponsive thrift connection: {code} update CounterCF set count_me=count_me+2, x='' where key = 'counter1'; {code} When a valid hex string (with a multiple of 2 hex digits) is used instead of 'a' or '', then the expected InvalidRequestException is seen. This is related to CASSANDRA-2851, but seems unimportant and incidental enough that a new ticket is more appropriate than reopening that one. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
