Hello, Code snippet below is printing out column names and values:
MultigetSliceQuery<String, String, String> multigetSliceQuery = HFactory.createMultigetSliceQuery(keyspace, stringSerializer, stringSerializer, stringSerializer); for (HColumn<String, String> column : c){ System.out.println("Col name:"+column.getName()+",Col Value:"+column.getValue()); columnData.put(column.getName(), column.getValue()); } The output for column name is printing some special characters that I cannot copy and paste in the email also. Below is the definition of that CF: create column family XYZ with comparator = 'CompositeType(org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.UTF8Type,org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.UTF8Type)' and key_validation_class = UTF8Type and default_validation_class = UTF8Type; Any suggestion as to why these special characters I am seeing in column name only when I display using Thrift API (cassandra-cli does not show that). Thanks, Sunit.
