Hi, After installing Cassandra 0.8 I discovered that my app stopped working. The issue is that the app is now unable to read a row that was inserted by a CLI set command with a numeric string key.
CLI in Cassandra 0.8 seems to be treating literals inconsistently. Please let me know if I am missing something. Here is a very simple scenario: create column family Ranges; set Ranges['1']['1']='1'; list Ranges; ------------------- RowKey: 01 => (column=01, value=31, timestamp=1314636970671000) The row key and column '1' are treated as bytes while the value is treated as UTF8 or ASCII. This raw can not be read with a string serializer for "1". This is clear when I make keys, columns and values readable: assume Ranges keys as utf8; assume Ranges comparator as utf8; assume Ranges validator as utf8; list Ranges; ------------------- RowKey: ☺ => (column=☺, value=1, timestamp=1314636970671000) This issue is even more obscure when I use an IP address as a key. The CLI is also unable to deserialize key after the format is specified: set Ranges['192.168.2.17']['1']='1'; list Ranges; ------------------- RowKey: 19ff16ffff17 => (column=01, value=31, timestamp=1314637423906000) assume Ranges keys as utf8; list Ranges; invalid UTF8 bytes 19ff16ffff17 Thanks you, Oleg
