I wrote some data to a standard column family (using Hector) with ASCII row-key, Long column name and Double column value.
The CLI doesn't seem to have a double data type to interpret the column value for display. [default@DemoKS] get DemoCF[ascii('ABC_100000000020')][long(20090101000000)] as LongType; => (column=0000124597556740, value=4629084924887308954, timestamp=1310144024947000) But that value is not exactly correct. It should be: 29.813332976331914 This is how I do the read in Hector: ColumnQuery<String, Long, Double> columnQuery = HFactory.createColumnQuery(keyspace, ss, ls, ds); columnQuery.setColumnFamily("DemoCF").setKey("ABC_100000000020").setName(20090101000000L); QueryResult<HColumn<Long, Double>> result = columnQuery.execute(); System.out.println("Query result: " + result.get()); Is there a equivalent for that in Cassandra CLI? - Sameer
