Dmitry Konstantinov commented on CASSANDRA-20190:
-------------------------------------------------
https://github.com/apache/cassandra/pull/3936 - I have added a logic to detect
BE (using a heuristic) on IndexSummary loading with IndexSummary re-creation in
case of if BE is detected. Test table data with BE offsets summary are added to
LegacySSTableTest (I do not have a BE machine, so to emulate BE for offsets in
Summary I commented temporary the following line: offset =
Integer.reverseBytes(offset);
in
org.apache.cassandra.io.sstable.indexsummary.IndexSummary.IndexSummarySerializer.serialize
> MemoryUtil.setInt/getInt and similar use the wrong endianness

> Key: CASSANDRA-20190
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-20190
> Project: Apache Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Local/Other
> Reporter: Branimir Lambov
> Assignee: Dmitry Konstantinov
> Priority: Normal
> Fix For: 5.0.x, 5.x
>
> Time Spent: 1h 20m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> `NativeCell`, `NativeClustering` and `NativeDecoratedKey` use the above
> methods from `MemoryUtil` to write and read data from native memory. As far
> as I can see they are meant to write data in big endian. They do not (they
> always correct to little endian).
> Moreover, they disagree with their `ByByte` versions on big-endian machines
> (which is only likely an issue on aligned-access architectures (x86 and arm
> should be fine)).
> The same is true for the methods in `Memory`, used by compression metadata as
> well as index summaries.
> We need to verify that this does not cause any problems, and to change the
> methods to behave as expected and document the behaviour by explicitly using
> `ByteOrder.LITTLE_ENDIAN` for any data that may have been persisted on disk
> with the wrong endianness.
>
> The current MemoryUtil behaviour (before the fix):
> ||Native
> order||MemoryUtil.setX||MemoryUtil.setXByByte||MemoryUtil.getX||MemoryUtil.getXByByte||
> |BE|LE|BE|LE|BE|
> |LE|LE|LE|LE|LE|
> shortly: MemoryUtil.setX/getX is LE, MemoryUtil.setXByByte/getXByByte is
> Native
