CLI list <cf> fails when keys are not of the assumed type
---------------------------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-2278
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2278
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Tools
Affects Versions: 0.7.3
Reporter: Yaniv Kunda
Priority: Minor
If a keyspace contains non-utf8 keys (for example, {{LongType}} keys), the
"{{list <cf>;}}" command can fail converting a key for display, only outputting
the message "{{Input length = 1}}" and stopping the listing of the rest of the
keys.
This message seems to be an example of the standard exception message of
{{java.nio.charset.MalformedInputException}}.
Similar messages will probably appear when utf8 keys are assumed to be long,
etc.
Workaround: use "{{assume <cf> keys as <type>;}}" - but this will work only of
all displayed keys conform to the assumption type.
Suggested fix: If key cannot be converted to the assumption type, instead of
{{RowKey: <key>}}
display
{{RowKey bytes: <keybytes> (cannot convert key to <type>)}}
