Environment: Cassandra 0.7.0 , C++ Thrift client on windows I have a column family with a secondary index ColumnFamily: Page Columns sorted by: org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.BytesType Built indexes: [Page.index_domain, Page.index_content_size] Column Metadata: Column Name: domain (646f6d61696e) Validation Class: org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.UTF8Type Index Name: index_domain Index Type: KEYS Column Name: original_content_size (6f726967696e616c5f636f6e74656e745f73697a65) Validation Class: org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.LongType Index Name: index_content_size Index Type: KEYS
As suggested by thobbs in an earlier posting I am sending the original_content_size as binary strings. I am able to write and read from the c++ client correctly. But on the cassandra-cli I am not able to see the values of original_content_size as longs. following are the results seen for a value 5 that was sent. get Page['test1234'][original_content_size]; => (column=6f726967696e616c5f636f6e74656e745f73697a65, value=360287970189639680, timestamp=1299773217120) get Page['test1234'][original_content_size] as bytes; => (column=6f726967696e616c5f636f6e74656e745f73697a65, value=0500000000000000, timestamp=1299773217120) Similarly the queries do not work as expected. Example get Page where domain = 'testabc.com' and original_content_size = 5; does not return the row that was inserted. Any suggestions on what I might be doing incorrectly either in schema definition or the way I am sending the values are welcome. -Adi
