CQL does not throw an error when invalid hex is supplied
--------------------------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-3231
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3231
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core
Affects Versions: 0.8.5
Reporter: Brandon Williams
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 0.8.7
As reported on irc, if you try to create an index on a CF with a default
comparator of BytesType, but you supply invalid hex, weird things happen.
Namely if you try to create one on 'category' you instead get one on
'\xca\xfe\xff\xff', which is 4 bytes that appears to coincide with attempting
to interpret 'ca', 'te', 'go', 'ry' as hex.
