Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-4093: ------------------------------------------- bq. The problem with that it's not only about CLI it is also about all other possible clients too because users expect comparator to be able to {de-}serialize column names correctly But this is only a problem if you're trying to show the schema for the System keyspace. (Presumably if you're using column aliases in your own CFs, you're using a sufficiently up to date client already.) I'm willing to accept that "to introspect the system keyspace, you need to be using a 1.1-aware cli." > schema_* CFs do not respect column comparator which leads to CLI commands > failure. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-4093 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4093 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Tools > Affects Versions: 1.1.0 > Reporter: Dave Brosius > Assignee: Sylvain Lebresne > Fix For: 1.1.0 > > Attachments: 4093.txt, CASSANDRA-4093-CD-changes.patch > > > ColumnDefinition.{ascii, utf8, bool, ...} static methods used to initialize > schema_* CFs column_metadata do not respect CF comparator and use > ByteBufferUtil.bytes(...) for column names which creates problems in CLI and > probably in other places. > The CompositeType validator throws exception on first column > String columnName = columnNameValidator.getString(columnDef.name); > Because it appears the composite type length header is wrong (25455) > AbstractCompositeType.getWithShortLength > java.lang.IllegalArgumentException > at java.nio.Buffer.limit(Buffer.java:247) > at > org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.AbstractCompositeType.getBytes(AbstractCompositeType.java:50) > at > org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.AbstractCompositeType.getWithShortLength(AbstractCompositeType.java:59) > at > org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.AbstractCompositeType.getString(AbstractCompositeType.java:139) > at > org.apache.cassandra.cli.CliClient.describeColumnFamily(CliClient.java:2046) > at > org.apache.cassandra.cli.CliClient.describeKeySpace(CliClient.java:1969) > at > org.apache.cassandra.cli.CliClient.executeShowKeySpaces(CliClient.java:1574) > (seen in trunk) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
