Jonathan Ellis reopened CASSANDRA-7498: --------------------------------------- Reproduced In: 2.1 rc2, 1.2.19 (was: 1.2.19, 2.1 rc2) Sounds reasonable. [~blerer] to review. > sstable2json exports keys in a wrong format > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-7498 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7498 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Tools > Reporter: Alexey Zotov > Assignee: Alexey Zotov > Labels: tools > Fix For: 2.1.1 > > Attachments: CASSANDRA-2.1-7498.txt > > > I examined code of _SSTableImport_ and _SSTableExport_ classes and found one > thing that looks strange to me. Currently processing (encoding/decoding) of > columns' names and values is performed based on CF Comparator and Value > Validator correspondingly. But row keys are processed using _#bytesToHex_ and > _#hexToBytes_ methods despite of there is Key Validator. Such approach works > properly for "bytes" keys only. For other types it exports keys in a wrong > format (i.e. they are exported in unreadable form). > In the scope of this ticket we need to consider backward compatibility > (import of previously exported sstables). For "bytes" keys it will work as > previously since _#bytesToHex_ and _#hexToBytes_ methods are used in > internals of _BytesType_ class. For other types we need to allow an ability > to import data using "bytes" despite of configured validator. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
