Hi Michael, Thank you for the quick reply. So you are suggesting to convert this int value(UUID comes back as int via Spark SQL) to hex?
And selection is just a example to highlight the UUID convertion issue. So in Cassandra it should be SELECT id, workflow FROM sam WHERE dept='blah'; And in Spark with Python: SELECT distinct id, dept, workflow FROM samd WHERE dept='blah'; Best, Rajesh R ________________________________ From: Laing, Michael [michael.la...@nytimes.com] Sent: 24 May 2016 11:40 To: user@cassandra.apache.org Subject: Re: UUID coming as int while using SPARK SQL Try converting that int from decimal to hex and inserting dashes in the appropriate spots - or go the other way.
