On which version of Cassandra are you? I can't reproduce the NullPointerException on Cassandra 1.2.3.
That being said, that query is not valid, so you will get an error message. There is 2 reasons why it's not valid: 1) in token(deep), deep is not a valid term. So you should have something like: token('deep'). 2) the name column is not the partition key so the token method cannot be applied to it. A valid query with that schema would be for instance: select * from "CQLUSER" where token(id) > token(4) though I don't know if that help in any way for what you aimed to do. -- Sylvain On Wed, Apr 10, 2013 at 9:42 AM, Kuldeep Mishra <kuld.cs.mis...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hi , > TABLE - > CREATE TABLE "CQLUSER" ( > id int PRIMARY KEY, > age int, > name text > ) > Query - > select * from "CQLUSER" where token(name) > token(deep); > > ERROR - > Bad Request: Failed parsing statement: [select * from "CQLUSER" where > token(name) > token(deep);] reason: NullPointerException null > text could not be lexed at line 1, char 15 > > -- > Thanks and Regards > Kuldeep Kumar Mishra > +919540965199 >
