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

             Summary: SELECT JSON "firstName" FROM ... results in 
{"\"firstName\"": "Bill"}
                 Key: CASSANDRA-12760
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12760
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core
         Environment: Cassandra 3.7
            Reporter: Niek Bartholomeus


I'm using Cassandra to store data coming from Spark and intended for being 
consumed by a javascript front end.

To avoid unnecessary field name mappings I have decided to use mixed case 
fields in Cassandra. I also happily leave it to Cassandra to jsonify the data 
(using SELECT JSON ...) so my scala/play web server can send the results from 
Cassandra straight through to the front end.

I noticed however that all mixed case fields (that were created with quotes as 
Cassandra demands) end up having a double set of quotes

{code}
create table user(id text PRIMARY KEY, "firstName" text);
insert into user(id, "firstName") values ('b', 'Bill');
select json * from user;

 [json]
--------------------------------------
 {"id": "b", "\"firstName\"": "Bill"}
{code}

Ideally that would be:
{code}
 [json]
--------------------------------------
 {"id": "b", "firstName": "Bill"}
{code}

I worked around it for now by removing all "\""'s before sending the josn to 
the front end.
