Vincenzo Melandri commented on CASSANDRA-8675:
----------------------------------------------
Been applying this patch for years as some process I have depends on
exporting/importing CVSs with newline chars, is there a reason this wasn't
fixed?
> COPY TO/FROM broken for newline characters
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-8675
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8675
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Legacy/Tools
> Environment: [cqlsh 5.0.1 | Cassandra 2.1.2 | CQL spec 3.2.0 | Native
> protocol v3]
> Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit
> Reporter: Lex Lythius
> Priority: Normal
> Labels: cqlsh, remove-reopen
> Fix For: 3.0.x
>
> Attachments: CASSANDRA-8675.patch, copytest.csv
>
>
> Exporting/importing does not preserve contents when texts containing newline
> (and possibly other) characters are involved:
> {code:sql}
> cqlsh:test> create table if not exists copytest (id int primary key, t text);
> cqlsh:test> insert into copytest (id, t) values (1, 'This has a newline
> ... character');
> cqlsh:test> insert into copytest (id, t) values (2, 'This has a quote "
> character');
> cqlsh:test> insert into copytest (id, t) values (3, 'This has a fake tab \t
> character (typed backslash, t)');
> cqlsh:test> select * from copytest;
> id | t
> ----+---------------------------------------------------------
> 1 | This has a newline\ncharacter
> 2 | This has a quote " character
> 3 | This has a fake tab \t character (entered slash-t text)
> (3 rows)
> cqlsh:test> copy copytest to '/tmp/copytest.csv';
> 3 rows exported in 0.034 seconds.
> cqlsh:test> copy copytest from '/tmp/copytest.csv';
> 3 rows imported in 0.005 seconds.
> cqlsh:test> select * from copytest;
> id | t
> ----+-------------------------------------------------------
> 1 | This has a newlinencharacter
> 2 | This has a quote " character
> 3 | This has a fake tab \t character (typed backslash, t)
> (3 rows)
> {code}
> I tried replacing \n in the CSV file with \\n, which just expands to \n in
> the table; and with an actual newline character, which fails with error since
> it prematurely terminates the record.
> It seems backslashes are only used to take the following character as a
> literal
> Until this is fixed, what would be the best way to refactor an old table with
> a new, incompatible structure maintaining its content and name, since we
> can't rename tables?
