Dave Brosius commented on CASSANDRA-4169:
-----------------------------------------
even something silly like mystring.toUpperCase() would access the locale. and
turkish is notorious for creating unsuspected characters when upper/lower
casing a string (adding crazy accents, etc).
> Locale settings on windows can break schema

> Key: CASSANDRA-4169
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4169
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Environment: Windows
> Reporter: Nick Bailey
> Assignee: Pavel Yaskevich
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.2
>
>
> The locale settings on windows can somehow affect how schema information is
> either saved or loaded. When setting locale/language settings to Turkish, and
> then starting cassandra, schema changes can be made successfully. When
> restarting cassandra though, the following error is seen:
