Jonathan Ellis resolved CASSANDRA-2278.
---------------------------------------

    Resolution: Not A Problem

bq. this will work only of all displayed keys conform to the assumption type

This is working as designed.  If you want to allow keys of different types, stick w/ BytesType.

> If a keyspace contains non-utf8 keys (for example, {{LongType}} keys), the "{{list <cf>;}}" command can fail converting a key for display, only outputting the message "{{Input length = 1}}" and stopping the listing of the rest of the keys.
> This message seems to be an example of the standard exception message of {{java.nio.charset.MalformedInputException}}.
> Similar messages will probably appear when utf8 keys are assumed to be long, etc.
> Workaround: use "{{assume <cf> keys as <type>;}}" - but this will work only of all displayed keys conform to the assumption type.
> Suggested fix: If key cannot be converted to the assumption type, instead of
> {{RowKey: <key>}}
> display
> {{RowKey bytes: <keybytes> (cannot convert key to <type>)}}
