MarshalException is thrown when cassandra-cli creates the example Keyspace
specified by conf/schema-sample.txt
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-2390
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2390
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core
Affects Versions: 0.7.5
Reporter: Jingguo Yao
Use the following steps to recreate the bug:
1. Checkout the source code from trunk. For my case, revision is 1085753.
2. Run "ant" to build cassandra.
3. Run "bin/cassandra -f" to start cassandra.
4. Run "bin/cassandra-cli -host localhost --file conf/schema-sample.txt".
Then there is the following message:
{quote}
... schemas agree across the cluster
Line 9 => org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.MarshalException: cannot parse
'birthdate' as hex bytes
{quote}
The root cause is BytesType's fromString method. FBUtilities's hexToBytes
method is invoked with "birthdate". NumberFormatException is thrown since
"birthdate" is not a hex string.
{code:title=BytesType.java|borderStyle=solid}
public ByteBuffer fromString(String source)
{
try
{
return ByteBuffer.wrap(FBUtilities.hexToBytes(source));
}
catch (NumberFormatException e)
{
throw new MarshalException(String.format("cannot parse '%s' as hex
bytes", source), e);
}
}
{code}
