Hi Aaron,
Thank a lot for your help.
I have still some questions to get clarified.. The issue happens in the
following scenario.
1) Call add keyspace from a client API -The keyspace given by the client is
modified and used for further operations.
e.g Client's keysace = 'foo' and the his domain name = 'bar.com' =>
modified keyspace = 'bar.com_foo'
2) Call add column family from a a client API
Client's keyspace = 'foo' ...now prior to calling 'login', 'set_keyspace'
is called. Within that method, the following method is called. This throws
an error because the keyspace Cassadara kept is 'bar.com_foo' not 'foo'
public static void validateTable(String tablename) throws
KeyspaceNotDefinedException
{
if (!DatabaseDescriptor.getTables().contains(tablename))
{
throw new KeyspaceNotDefinedException("Keyspace " + tablename +
" does not exist");
}
}
Thanks,
Indika
