Hi,
Given the following table:
cqlsh> create keyspace ks WITH replication = {'class': 'SimpleStrategy',
'replication_factor': 1};
cqlsh> create table t (p text, c int, v text, primary key (p));
cqlsh> use ks;
The following fails:
cqlsh:ks> insert into t (p, c, v) values ('', 2, '');
InvalidRequest: Error from server: code=2200 [Invalid query] message="Key may not be
empty"
However, MVs don't appear to have this restriction:
create materialized view mv as select * from t where v is not null and p is not
null and c is not null primary key (v, p);
insert into t (p, c, v) values ('a', 2, '');
select * from mv;
v | p | c
---+---+---
| a | 2
I guess this is because an empty value can't be distinguished from null at the protocol level, but this distinction can
be made internally.
I think the behavior should be made consistent, if nothing else because
querying the MV for the empty key is impossible:
cqlsh:ks> select * from mv where v = '';
InvalidRequest: Error from server: code=2200 [Invalid query] message="Key may not be
empty"
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Duarte
