---------------------------------------
Summary: sstable2json exports keys in a wrong format
Key: CASSANDRA-7498
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7498
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core
Reporter: Alexey Zotov
Assignee: Alexey Zotov
I examined code of _SSTableImport_ and _SSTableExport_ classes and found one
thing that looks strange to me. Currently processing (encoding/decoding) of
columns' names and values is performed based on CF Comparator and Value
Validator correspondingly. But row keys are processed using _#bytesToHex_ and
_#hexToBytes_ methods despite of there is Key Validator. Such approach works
properly for "bytes" keys only. For other types it exports keys in a wrong
format (i.e. they are exported in unreadable form).
In the scope of this ticket we need to consider backward compatibility (import
of previously exported sstables). For "bytes" keys it will work as previously
since _#bytesToHex_ and _#hexToBytes_ methods are used in internals of
_BytesType_ class. For other types we need to allow an ability to import data
using "bytes" despite of configured validator.
