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):

Log looks fine to me, but no result is returned.

Best,

Thomas
