----------------------------------------

             Summary: Different encodings used between nodes can cause 
inconsistently generated prepared statement ids 
                 Key: CASSANDRA-10539
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10539
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Andy Tolbert
            Priority: Minor


[From the java-driver mailing 
list|https://groups.google.com/a/lists.datastax.com/forum/#!topic/java-driver-user/3Aa7s0u2ZrI]
 / [JAVA-955|https://datastax-oss.atlassian.net/browse/JAVA-955]

If you have nodes in your cluster that are using a different default character 
set it's possible for nodes to generate different prepared statement ids for 
the same 'keyspace + query string' combination.  I imagine this is not a very 
typical or desired configuration (thus the low severity).

This is because 
[MD5Digest.compute(String)|https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-3.0/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/utils/MD5Digest.java#L51-L54]
 uses 
[String.getBytes()|http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#getBytes()]
 which relies on the default charset.

In the general case this is fine, but if you use some characters in your query 
string such as 
[Character.MAX_VALUE|http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Character.html#MAX_VALUE]
 ('\uffff') the byte representation may vary based on the coding.

I was able to reproduce this configuring a 2-node cluster with node1 using 
file.encoding {{UTF-8}} and node2 using file.encoding {{ISO-8859-1}}.   The 
java-driver test demonstrates this can be found 
[here|https://github.com/datastax/java-driver/blob/java955/driver-core/src/test/java/com/datastax/driver/core/RetryOnUnpreparedTest.java].
