Hi Folks, Currently we persist everything into blobs within Cassandra. https://github.com/apache/gora/blob/master/gora-cassandra/src/main/java/org/apache/gora/cassandra/store/CassandraStore.java#L513 This is not just for Records... it is for all types I am wondering what the gains are for us to store everything within Bytes. Do we need to do this? I very rarely Query using Gora... I just use the native Query mechanism for wherever my data resides. This does however mean, in the case of Cassandra for example, that I use cqlsh which consequently means I get Bytes when I try to get anything from anything. We know this already... but what I wonder is if we can take advantage of Cassandra Type support. Thanks Lewis
