Stefan Miklosovic commented on CASSANDRA-19270:
-----------------------------------------------

I backported that test to 4.0 (1) and two tests fail there: 
compositeValueClustering and compositeValuePk, the latter fails on

{code}
java.lang.AssertionError: 
Expecting a root cause with message:
  <"Key length of 65554 is longer than maximum of 65535">
but message was:
  <"Key length of 65560 is longer than maximum of 65535">.
Throwable that failed the check:

com.datastax.driver.core.exceptions.InvalidQueryException: Key length of 65560 
is longer than maximum of 65535

I think that you are right that this is a problem in 4.x but this is fixed in 
5.0. 

I wonder how complicated it would be to fix this in 4.x as well ...

> Cassandra limits key lengths (partition and clustering) to 64 KB. If a user 
> attempts to INSERT data with a partition key or clustering key exceeding that 
> size, the result is a clear InvalidRequest error with a message like "{{{}Key 
> length of 66560 is longer than maximum of 65535{}}}".
> There is one exception: If you have a *compound* partition key (i.e., two or 
> more partition key components) and attempt to write one of them larger than 
> 64 KB, then instead of an orderly InvalidRequest like you got when there was 
> just one component, now you get a NoHostAvailable  with the message: 
> "{{{}error("'H' format requires 0 <= number <= 65535")}){}}}". This is not 
> only uglier, it can also confuse the Cassandra driver to retry this request - 
> because it doesn't realize that the request itself is broken and there is no 
> point to repeat it.
> Interestingly, if there are multiple clustering key columns, this problem 
> doesn't happen: we still get a nice InvalidRequest if any one of these is 
> more than 64 KB.
