------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-2497
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2497
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core
Affects Versions: 0.8
Reporter: Cathy Daw
Priority: Critical
*Reproduction Steps*
{code}
create column family users with comparator = UTF8Type
and column_metadata = [{column_name: password, validation_class: UTF8Type}];
update column family users with key_validation_class=UTF8Type;
set users['jsmith']['password']='ch@ngem3';
{code}
*EXPECTED RESULT:* After the UPDATE statement, the SET statement should go
through successfully.
*ACTUAL RESULT:* The SET statement gives the same error message, regardless of
the UPDATE statement:
{code}
org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.MarshalException: cannot parse 'jsmith' as hex
bytes
{code}
*Output from describe keyspace*
