Hi Vladimir, Indeed, that's a little weird, I think it is like a empty string: '' but is a timeuuid value. We have many such records that inserted by Astyanax API, when we select it in cqlsh, it is like as below, note the column4 is timeuuid, it is not null or some value, just "empty".
key | column1 | column2 | column3 | column4 | value ------------------+--------------------+------------+------------ +------------+---------------------- test by thrift | accessState | | | | 0x5 But when we use Cql, we couldn't set this empty value, it is null or explicit value, like below, key | column1 | column2 | column3 | column4 | value ------------------+-------------------+-- -----------+-------------+--------------+---------------------- test by cql | accessState | | | null | 0x5 key | column1 | column2 | column3 | column4 | value -------------------+------------------+-- ------------+------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+- -------------------------------- test by cql | accessState | | | 4a528300-95cb-11e6-8650-0242f5eaa8c3| 0x5 I don't know whether you could understand now, if not I could provide some code related to Astyanax.
