Hi Aaron, normally we use hector to access cassandra, but for debugging I switched to cassandra-cli.
Column can not be read by a simple get CFName['rowkey']['colname']; Response is "Value was not found" if i query another column, everything is just fine. Serverlog for unsuccessful read (keyspace and CF names replaced): DEBUG [pool-1-thread-1] 2011-10-10 23:15:29,739 CassandraServer.java (line 280) get DEBUG [pool-1-thread-1] 2011-10-10 23:15:29,744 StorageProxy.java (line 320) Command/ConsistencyLevel is SliceByNamesReadCommand(table='Keyspace', key=61636162626139322d396638312d343562382d396637352d393162303337383030393762, columnParent='QueryPath(columnFamilyName='ColumnFamily', superColumnName='null', columnName='null')', columns=[574c303030375030,])/ONE DEBUG [pool-1-thread-1] 2011-10-10 23:15:29,750 ReadCallback.java (line 86) Blockfor/repair is 1/true; setting up requests to localhost/127.0.0.1 DEBUG [pool-1-thread-1] 2011-10-10 23:15:29,750 StorageProxy.java (line 343) reading data locally DEBUG [ReadStage:33] 2011-10-10 23:15:29,751 StorageProxy.java (line 448) LocalReadRunnable reading SliceByNamesReadCommand(table='Keyspace', key=61636162626139322d396638312d343562382d396637352d393162303337383030393762, columnParent='QueryPath(columnFamilyName='ColumnFamily', superColumnName='null', columnName='null')', columns=[574c303030375030,]) DEBUG [pool-1-thread-1] 2011-10-10 23:15:29,818 StorageProxy.java (line 393) Read: 67 ms. Log looks fine to me, but no result is returned. Best, Thomas On 10/10/2011 10:00 PM, aaron morton wrote: > How are they unreadable ?
