Thanks for the response, sorry if my initial question wasn't clear. When using thrift, I call client.get_slice(keyBytes, columnParent, range, level)
i get a list of ColumnOrSuperColumns back. When I iterate over them and and call: byte[] nameBytes = columnOrSuperColumn.getSuper_column().getName() I seem to be getting a byte array that contains, not only the name of the super column, but all of the child columns as well. The output that start '? get_slice' is the byte array converted to a string. Shouldn't nameBytes only return the name of the superColumn? In my case 'super-col-0' in byte form? This is using cassandra 0.7.0 & 0.7.4. cheers, M!ke On Mar 17, 2011, at 9:43 AM, Sylvain Lebresne wrote: > Are you sure you don't have a problem with handling ByteBuffers ? > What do you mean by 'deserialized string' ? > > -- > Sylvain > > On Thu, Mar 17, 2011 at 4:20 AM, Michael Fortin <mi...@m410.us> wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I've been working on a scala based api for cassandra.
