RE: Help with UUID in C#.net

[Sandeep]

Batch Mutate can only take map<string, map<string, list<Mutation>>> as 
parameter but not a GUID.

How to solve this problem.

Hi Roger,

Thanks for your reply.

Actually I copied the class(GUIDGenerator.) in my project.

Guid guidTimeStamp = GuidGenerator.GenerateTimeBasedGuid();

And using the above statement to generate the UUID. But I have no idea how to 
insert the UUID into Cassandra.

List<Column> listOfArrivalTimes = new List<Column>();
listOfArrivalTimes.Add(new Column() { Name = 
utf8Encoding.GetBytes("ArrivalTime"), Timestamp = DateTime.Now.Ticks, Value = 
utf8Encoding.GetBytes(commandQueueEntry.ArrivalTime.ToString()) });

Mutation ArrivalTime = new Mutation()
{
 Column_or_supercolumn = new ColumnOrSuperColumn() { Super_column = new 
SuperColumn() { Name = utf8Encoding.GetBytes("ArrivalTime"), Columns = 
listOfArrivalTimes } }
};

And then using batch_mutate() to insert the values.  I have no clue where and 
how should I use the generated UUID.

I can not use it in " Timestamp" in column struct  because it is of type long.  
Please help me with this.

Thanks,
Sandeep.

Nick Berardi's blog post about Cassandra in conjunction with c#/.net and 
TimeUUID describes how to do.

Hi all,

I am new to Cassandra. I am trying to insert some values to the columnfamily. 
The definition of columnfamily in the config file is as follows.

<ColumnFamily Name="CommandQueue"
                    ColumnType="Super"
                    CompareWith="TimeUUIDType"
                    CompareSubcolumnsWith="UTF8Type"/>


When ever I try to insert values to I always get   
"InvalidRequestException(why: UUIDs must be exactly 16 bytes)".

I am using batch_mutate() to insert column.

How can I insert values to the column family.

Thanks,
Sandeep.
