Tyler Hobbs created CASSANDRA-8178:
--------------------------------------
Summary: Column names are not converted correctly for non-text
comparators
Key: CASSANDRA-8178
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8178
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core
Reporter: Tyler Hobbs
Assignee: Tyler Hobbs
Fix For: 2.0.12, 2.1.2
If a column family is created with a non-text comparator through Thrift (or
cassandra-cli) and column metadata is defined, those column names cannot be
queried through cql3.
For example:
{noformat}
[default@ks1] create column family entity_data
... with column_type = 'Standard'
... and comparator = 'BytesType'
... and default_validation_class = 'BytesType'
... and key_validation_class = 'UTF8Type'
... and column_metadata = [
... {column_name : '0008',
... validation_class : UTF8Type,
... index_name : 'entity_data_0008_idx',
... index_type : 0}];
{noformat}
When you attempt to query that column through cqlsh, you'll get an error like
this:
{noformat}
cqlsh:ks1> select "0008" FROM entity_data ;
Bad Request: Undefined name 0008 in selection clause
{noformat}
The problem is that we aren't taking the comparator type into account when
converting column names in cql3 statements to their internal (ByteBuffer)
representation.
