Expose byte[] row keys in client APIs
-------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-953
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-953
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Sub-task
Reporter: Stu Hood
Fix For: 0.7
Once 767 lands, row keys will be stored as bytes internally, and the
partitioner will decide whether to interpret the bytes. We can then expose the
byte[] keys to client APIs.
One key issue to settle is whether we should support both keys and bytes for
the 0.7 release, or if we should make 0.7 a fully breaking release. The main
problem with supporting both key types is that I don't think Thrift supports
method overloading, so all of the methods would need to change names.
