You should have gotten an error from the CLI saying it cannot parse hex bytes,
because it would now know that the key you are passing is a utf8 / ascii string
to be converted into a bytes.
It's throwing on the 0.8 head, but not in the release. Will try to work out
why, anyway it should do this
[default@abc] set People[wking][name]='ala';
org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.MarshalException: cannot parse 'wking' as hex
bytes
If you add a key validation class the CLI will know what to do, try this…
create column family People2
with comparator=UTF8Type
and key_validation_class = UTF8Type
and default_validation_class=UTF8Type;
[default@abc] list People2;
Using default limit of 100
-------------------
RowKey: jking
=> (column=name, value=aaaaaala, timestamp=1317255173285000)
=> (column=sname, value=saaaaaala, timestamp=1317255173854000)
-------------------
RowKey: wking
=> (column=name, value=ala, timestamp=1317255173281000)
=> (column=sname, value=sala, timestamp=1317255173283000)
2 Rows Returned.
Hope that helps.
