Eric Evans commented on CASSANDRA-2475:
---------------------------------------
bq. The thinking being that it's easier for a client to encode as string?
Well, the thinking being that the code to do so already exists. It's also
pushing some logic back to the client and opening up the possibility for a
whole class of bugs (multiplied by the number of clients that have to implement
it).
This isn't entirely hypothetical, it was recently discovered that Pycassa
treated IntegerType as always being 4 bytes in length, and that had gone
undiscovered for a long time. The string representation of a number though,
can be parsed by IntegerType.fromString() node-side consistently regardless of
the client.
