That library requires you to serialize and deserialize the data
yourself. So to insert a ruby Float you would
value = 28.21
[value].pack('G')
@client.insert(:somecf, 'key', {'floatval' => [value].pack('G')})
and to read it back out:
value = @client.get(:somecf, 'key', ['floatval']).unpack('G')[0]
Note that the cassandra-cql library will do (most) typecasts for you.
