cli: allow entering binary data to columns with no metadata
-----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CASSANDRA-1603
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1603
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Tools
            Reporter: Jonathan Ellis
            Assignee: Pavel Yaskevich
             Fix For: 0.7.0


CASSANDRA-1578 adds support for when we have metadata for the column in the 
schema, but we should also allow manually turning a given string into a binary 
format.

one option would be to allow something like

{code}
set CF[column]=timeuuid(12345678-1234-5678-1234-567812345678)
{code}

but this only allows data entry, and would not help when doing gets.

maybe adding a cli command "assume column family with ..." would be best, 
allowing the operator to create local metadata that unlike "update 
columnfamily" doesn't get sent to the server.  (saving the local metadata 
between cli sessions would be good.)
