["Jonathan Ellis (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-29?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12694088#action_12694088 ] 

Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-29:
-----------------------------------------

Johan, I agree that binary data works better.

But I'm not sure if binary is going to be a data type in thrift moving forward; see the comments to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-395 (start where dreiss jumps in).

> In the thrift interface the value is of type string but internally in Cassandra it is handled as a byte array. Exposing the value as thrift type binary would avoid conversions and charset issues.
