Gotcha Timmy. That is the Thrift API. You are operating at a pretty low-level. I'm not sure that is considered the "official" CQL client. IMHO, you might be better off moving up a level. I'd probably either wait for the official CQL Java Driver, or access CQL via a higher-level client like Hector.
If you stick with Thrift, I think you can access the Schema metadata: https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/interface/thrift/gen-java/org /apache/cassandra/thrift/CqlMetadata.java (Those are the generated classes for the Thrift interface) But I'm not sure where the code is to apply that metadata to the result set in: https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/interface/thrift/gen-java/org /apache/cassandra/thrift/CqlResult.java -brian --- Brian O'Neill Lead Architect, Software Development Health Market Science The Science of Better Results 2700 Horizon Drive King of Prussia, PA 19406 M: 215.588.6024 @boneill42 <http://www.twitter.com/boneill42> healthmarketscience.com This information transmitted in this email message is for the intended recipient only and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
