Re: Java Collections.emptyList inserted as null object in cassandra

[Cody Yancey]

It is not possible. Internally Cassandra flattens your data out into a set
of key-value-pairs. All collection types, including lists, are nothing more
than a thin layer of schema over a clustered set of key-value-pairs, so on
disk there is no difference between an empty list and a list that doesn't
exist. If you need to differentiate between the two, you will need a
separate "isSet" column that is a 1 or a 0 to indicate the presence or
absence of a list and write your client-side code to branch on that new
column instead.

Filed Type in cassandra : List

I am trying to insert  Collections.emptyList() from spark to cassandra
list field. In cassandra it stores as null object.

How can i avoid null values here.
