> Key: CASSANDRA-3031
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3031
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Environment: any
> Reporter: Radim Kolar
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: hector, lhf
>
> Cassandra currently lacks support for 4byte fixed size integer data type.
> Java API Hector and C libcassandra likes to serialize integers as 4 bytes in
> network order. Problem is that you cant use cassandra-cli to manipulate
> stored rows. Compatibility with other applications using api following
> cassandra integer encoding standard is problematic too.
> Because adding new datatype/validator is fairly simple I recommend to add
> int4 data type. Compatibility with hector is important because it is most
> used Java cassandra api and lot of applications are using it.
> This problem was discussed several times already
> http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.hector.user/2125
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2585
> It would be nice to have compatibility with cassandra-cli and other
> applications without rewriting hector apps.
