UUIDs must be exactly 16 bytes ?

[Shuge Lee]

Hi all:

in storage-conf.xml
...

<Keyspace Name="t">
  <ColumnFamily CompareWith="UTF8Type" Name="tt" />

<ReplicaPlacementStrategy>org.apache.cassandra.locator.RackUnawareStrategy</ReplicaPlacementStrategy>
  <ReplicationFactor>1</ReplicationFactor>

<EndPointSnitch>org.apache.cassandra.locator.EndPointSnitch</EndPointSnitch>

  <ColumnFamily Name="tt"
                CompareWith="TimeUUIDType" />
</Keyspace>
...

Python code
#!/usr/bin/env python

import uuid
from pprint import pprint as pp

import pycassa
from cassandra.ttypes import ConsistencyLevel

keyspace = 't'
column_family = 'tt'
write_consistency_level = ConsistencyLevel.ONE

cli = pycassa.connect()
cf = pycassa.ColumnFamily(cli, keyspace, column_family)

key = uuid.uuid4().bytes_le
columns = {'subject': 'a'}
cf.insert(key, columns, write_consistency_level)

Traceback

    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/backup/code/luna/t.py", line 19, in <module>

What's going on ?
