Hi.
I would like to use custom data type.
Although it was work at Cassandra 1.2.9, but it is not work at Cassandra
2.0.0.
Did anything change by Cassandra 2.0.0 ?
My test procedure is as follows:
### DummyType.class
```
package my.marshal;
import java.nio.ByteBuffer;
import org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.AbstractType;
import org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.MarshalException;
import org.apache.cassandra.utils.ByteBufferUtil;
public class DummyType extends AbstractType<Void> {
public static final DummyType instance = new DummyType();
private DummyType(){
}
public Void compose(ByteBuffer bytes){
return null;
}
public ByteBuffer decompose(Void value){
return ByteBufferUtil.EMPTY_BYTE_BUFFER;
}
public int compare(ByteBuffer o1, ByteBuffer o2){
return 0;
}
public String getString(ByteBuffer bytes){
return "";
}
public ByteBuffer fromString(String source) throws MarshalException{
if(!source.isEmpty()) throw new
MarshalException(String.format("'%s' is not empty", source));
return ByteBufferUtil.EMPTY_BYTE_BUFFER;
}
public void validate(ByteBuffer bytes) throws MarshalException{
}
}
```
### At Cassandra 1.2.9
1) Create DummyType class and compiled by JDK6.
2) Drop that jar (my-marshal-1.0.0.jar) in lib directory and start the
cluster.
```

```
3) Create column family that use DummyType.
```
cqlsh:test> CREATE TABLE test_cf ( key 'my.marshal.DummyType' PRIMARY KEY);
cqlsh:test> DESCRIBE TABLE test_cf;
CREATE TABLE test_cf (
key 'my.marshal.DummyType' PRIMARY KEY
) WITH

replicate_on_write='true' AND
populate_io_cache_on_flush='false' AND
compaction={'class': 'SizeTieredCompactionStrategy'} AND
compression={'sstable_compression': 'SnappyCompressor'};
```
### At Cassandra 2.0.0
1) Create DummyType class and compiled by JDK7.
2) Drop that jar (my-marshal-1.0.0.jar) in lib directory and start the
cluster.
