Can you please let me know why? Because I have created very similar column
familes many times with comparator = BytesType, and never run into this
issue before.
Here is an example:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
ColumnFamily: Client
Key Validation Class: org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.BytesType
Default column value validator: org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.BytesType
Columns sorted by: org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.BytesType
...
...
Built indexes: [Client.ACUserIdIdx]
Column Metadata:
Column Name: userid (757365726964)
Validation Class: org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.LexicalUUIDType
Index Name: ACUserIdIdx
Index Type: KEYS
--------------------------------------------------------------------
