Hey Folks, So I am creating, column family using pycassaShell. See below:
validators = { 'approved': 'BooleanType', 'text': 'UTF8Type', 'favorite_count':'IntegerType', 'retweet_count': 'IntegerType', 'expanded_url': 'UTF8Type', 'tuid': 'LongType', 'screen_name': 'UTF8Type', 'profile_image': 'UTF8Type', 'embedly_data': 'CompositeType', 'created_at': 'UTF8Type', } SYSTEM_MANAGER.create_column_family('Narrative','Twitter_search_test', comparator_type='CompositeType', default_validation_class='UTF8Type', key_validation_class='UTF8Type', column_validation_classes=validators) I am getting this error: *InvalidRequestException*: InvalidRequestException(why='Invalid definition for comparator org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.CompositeType.' My data will look like this: 'row_key' : { 'tid' : { 'expanded_url': u'http://instagram.com/p/hwDj2BJeBy/', 'text': '#snowinginNYC!!!!
