Edward Capriolo updated CASSANDRA-5198:
---------------------------------------
Description:
This works as it should.
{noformat}
cqlsh:movies> select * from users where token (username) > token('') ;
username | created_date | email | firstname | lastname | password
-----------+--------------+-------+-----------+----------+----------
bsmith | null | null | bob | smith | null
scapriolo | null | null | stacey | capriolo | null
ecapriolo | null | null | edward | capriolo | null
cqlsh:movies> select * from users where token (username) > token('bsmith') ;
username | created_date | email | firstname | lastname | password
-----------+--------------+-------+-----------+----------+----------
scapriolo | null | null | stacey | capriolo | null
ecapriolo | null | null | edward | capriolo | null
cqlsh:movies> select * from users where token (username) > token('scapriolo') ;
username | created_date | email | firstname | lastname | password
-----------+--------------+-------+-----------+----------+----------
ecapriolo | null | null | edward | capriolo | null
{noformat}
But look what happens when you supply numbers into the token function.

This does not make sense to me. The token function is apparently converting
integers to strings leading to seemingly unpredictable results.
However I find this syntax odd, I feel like I should be able to say
'token(username) > 0 and token(username) < 10' because from a thrift side I can
page tokens or I can page keys. In this case, I guess, I am only able to page
keys because the token is not returned to the user.
Is token 0 = ''? How do I arrive at the minimal token for and int column.
> token () function automatically coerses types leading to confusing output
