Well, this seem to be on the hector side. I've tried the same example using the CLI, and:
[default@unknown] create keyspace test; 642e6f90-c336-11e0-0000-242d50cf1fd5 Waiting for schema agreement... ... schemas agree across the cluster [default@unknown] use test; Authenticated to keyspace: test [default@test] create column family foobar with comparator=DynamicCompositeType and key_validation_class=AsciiType and default_validation_class=AsciiType; 40032380-c337-11e0-0000-242d50cf1fd5 Waiting for schema agreement... ... schemas agree across the cluster [default@test] set foobar[k]['UTF8Type@jeans:BytesType(reversed=true)@1'] = a; Value inserted. [default@test] get foobar[k]; => (column=UTF8Type@jeans:BytesType(reversed=true)@01, value=a, timestamp=1312970389512000) Returned 1 results. [default@test] set foobar[k]['UTF8Type@jeans:BytesType(reversed=true)@2'] = a; Value inserted. [default@test] get foobar[k]; => (column=UTF8Type@jeans:BytesType(reversed=true)@02, value=a, timestamp=1312970410712000) => (column=UTF8Type@jeans:BytesType(reversed=true)@01, value=a, timestamp=1312970389512000) Returned 2 results. Now, the last query is not exactly the one you do, since it does a full row query but the CLI don't support setting the start and end of a slice. However, I have tried hard-coding the exact query into the CLI (with start='UTF8Type@jeans' and end='UTF8Type@jeans:!'), and it still returns the columns in the columns in the right order (with the biggest second component first). -- Sylvain On Wed, Aug 10, 2011 at 9:26 AM, Todd Nine <t...@spidertracks.com> wrote: > Hi guys, > I've been dealing with a problem in my JPA plugin for a couple days > now.
