I am trying to use the new column index feature. I am using the nightly from: apache-cassandra-2010-08-23_13-57-40-bin.tar.gz. I created a column family: colFam = CfDef('Activity', 'Activity', 'Standard', 'Timestamp', 'BytesType') colFam.column_metadata = ColumnDef(name='Time', validation_class='LongType', index_type=IndexType.KEYS, index_name='TIME_INDEX')
self._client.system_add_column_family(colFam) When I try to use batch_mutate to insert data I get: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\GitStuff\olympus_beta\Python\Olympus\Common\DataHelper.py", line 404, in InsertData self._client.batch_mutate(mutation_map=dataToInsert, consistency_level=self._DATA_CONSISTENCY_WRITE) File "C:\GitStuff\olympus_beta\Python\Olympus\Common\cassandra\Cassandra.py", line 786, in batch_mutate self.recv_batch_mutate() File "C:\GitStuff\olympus_beta\Python\Olympus\Common\cassandra\Cassandra.py", line 803, in recv_batch_mutate raise x TApplicationException: Required field 'cf_def' was not present! Struct: system_add_column_family_args(cf_def:null) The system.log has this in it: 10/08/27 10:09:05 ERROR thrift.CustomTThreadPoolServer: Thrift error occurred during processing of message. org.apache.thrift.protocol.TProtocolException: Missing version in readMessageBegin, old client? at org.apache.thrift.protocol.TBinaryProtocol.readMessageBegin(TBinaryProto col.java:211) at org.apache.cassandra.thrift.Cassandra$Processor.process(Cassandra.java:2 487) at org.apache.cassandra.thrift.CustomTThreadPoolServer$WorkerProcess.run(Cu stomTThreadPoolServer.java:167) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecuto r.java:886) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.ja va:908) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619) My code and the server are both using API version 11.1.0, so that wasn't the problem.

I looked at the code in test_thrift_server.py, but it uses insert not batch_mutate to put data into the indexed column. ________________________________ Jeremiah Jordan Application Developer Morningstar, Inc.
