Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-29:
-----------------------------------------
For the record, the old code was potentially buggy because it assumed any
string passed could be decoded as UTF-8. This is the case when the client is
also Java code but not for other languages such as Python or C++. (Thrift is
not consistent in how it treats strings, but it is always consistent with
binary.)

> In the thrift interface the value is of type string but internally in
> Cassandra it is handled as a byte array. Exposing the value as thrift type
> binary would avoid conversions and charset issues.
