Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-2262:
-------------------------------------------
bq. Asking for fromString() to accept a hex value seems silly
Why is that?
> use o.a.c.marshal.*Type for CQL

> Key: CASSANDRA-2262
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2262
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: API
> Affects Versions: 0.8
> Reporter: Eric Evans
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.8
>
> Attachments: v0-0001-test-shows-no-roundtrip-in-BytesType.txt
>
> Original Estimate: 0h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Presently, {{o.a.c.cql.Term.getByteBuffer}} manage's the conversion from a
> parsed term to a {{ByteBuffer}} of the right contents, this should be moved
> into the individual {{AbstractType}} subclasses (aka
> {{AbstractType.fromString}}).
> Additionally, a method that does the inverse (returning the string
> equivalent), needs to exists such that
> {{AbstractType.getString(AbstractType.fromString(s)) == s}}
> Finally, for use in results decoding a method should exist that given a
> {{ByteBuffer}} will return the appropriate object for that type. For
> example, {{IntegerType.compose(ByteBuffer) -> java.math.BigInteger}}, or
> {{LexicalUUIDType.compose(ByteBuffer) -> java.util.UUID}}.
