Yeah definitely a problem there. Can you create a JIRA for it?

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
