If you use the --debug flag when you start the CLI it always will print full stack traces.
What is the CF definition ? I'm guessing the column_metadata specifies that the age column is a Long Was there existing data in the age column and if so how was it encoded ? Was the existing data was encoded as a variable length integer value? The standard IntegerType is not compatible with the LongType as the the long is fixed width. If this is the case try re-creating the index using an IntegerType. This worked for me… [default@dev] create column family User ... with comparator = AsciiType ... and column_metadata = ... [{ ... column_name : age, ... validation_class : LongType, ... index_type : 0, ... index_name : IdxAge}, ... ]; 2fd1a5c0-352b-11e1-0000-242d50cf1fb6 Waiting for schema agreement... ... schemas agree across the cluster [default@dev] [default@dev] get User where age = 1; 0 Row Returned. Elapsed time: 33 msec(s). [default@dev] Hope that helps. ----------------- Aaron Morton Freelance Developer @aaronmorton http://www.thelastpickle.com On 31/12/2011, at 6:09 AM, Sasha Dolgy wrote: > as per the wiki link you sent, i change my query to: > > get user where something = '1'; > > Still throws the error ...
