Dear list,
I'm building an Erlang CQL client for Cassandra. I'm using Thrift version
0.8.0, and Cassandra 1.0.5. I've generated the Erlang Thrift code with the
command:
thrift --gen erl cassandra/interface/cassandra.thrift
One of the generate files, cassandra_types.hrl, seems to have incorrect record
definitions. To be more precise:
-record(cqlMetadata, {name_types = dict:new() :: dict(),
value_types = dict:new() :: dict(),
default_name_type = undefined :: string(),
default_value_type = undefined :: string()}).
-record(column, {name = undefined :: string(),
value = undefined :: string(),
timestamp = undefined :: integer(),
ttl = undefined :: integer()}).
For instance, these two records specify string() in name and value columns, but
the real returned values from Cassandra are binary(). Haven't tested it yet,
but everytime there's a string() specification in this file, it really seems
that it should be binary(), which is what thrift calls return from Cassandra.
Is this the appropriate list where I should report this, or should I do so in
some other list dedicated to API development?
Thank you,
r.
