Disable autopacking of values to binary

[utkar...@gmail.com]

Hello,

I have a usecase where I need to disable the autopacking of values from string to binary and need to store all the data as is (as string).
I understand this is not recommended, but I need this for testing a feature.

I tried this:
            self.destination_cf = ColumnFamily(destination_pool,
                                                                args["column_family"])
            self.destination_cf.autopack_names = False
            self.destination_cf.autopack_values = False
            self.destination_cf.autopack_keys = False
            self.destination_cf.default_validation_class = pycassa.types.UTF8Type()

But this does not work. Any suggestions?


Thanks,

How is it not working?  What operation are you trying and what is the error (or expected result and actual result)?

This is the code: https://github.com/utkarsh2012/cassandra-importer/blob/master/ci/cass_importer.py

I am simply doing an insert: self.destination_cf.insert(key, value) and the source of the data (from another cassandra instance) does not have data in binary format.

When I query my source cassandra instance via cli, I see the values as expected (in string format).

After I run the import and same data is copied to another cassandra instance, I see hex values.

Thanks,

It sounds like the destination cluster is using BytesType, correct? If so, cassandra-cli displays BytesType data in hex by default.

Ah I see. How can I change the value from ByteType to something else?

Basically I am trying to keep the source cluster data partially in sync with my local instance.

See "help update column family;" in cassandra-cli.  Note that you won't be able to change the comparator after the column family is created.
