----------------------------------------------
Will it always be english or will Cassandra be ported to other languages?
> Portability Flaw: Locale Dependent Comparison

> Key: CASSANDRA-12544
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12544
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Reporter: Eduardo Aguinaga
> Assignee: Dave Brosius
> Priority: Trivial
> Fix For: 3.10
>
>
> Overview:
> In May through June of 2016 a static analysis was performed on version 3.0.5
> of the Cassandra source code. The analysis included an automated analysis
> using HP Fortify v4.21 SCA and a manual analysis utilizing SciTools
> Understand v4. The results of that analysis includes the issue below.
> Issue:
> In the file LegacySchemaMigrator.java on line 286 there is a portability
> problem with the call to toLowerCase() because it has different locales which
> may lead to unexpected output. This may also circumvent custom validation
> routines.
> {code:java}
> LegacySchemaMigrator.java, lines 286-289:
> 286 boolean isSuper =
> "super".equals(tableRow.getString("type").toLowerCase());
> 287 boolean isDense = tableRow.has("is_dense")
> 288 ? tableRow.getBoolean("is_dense")
> 289 : calculateIsDense(rawComparator, columnRows);
> {code}
