I propose an edit to the wiki page http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/CassandraLimitations
as follows: "Vulnerability to random data Cassandra will crash if you send random data to the Thrift API. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-475 and https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-601 for details." It can be edited out when it's no longer true, but I think it's an important limitation. Ted
