             Summary: NullPointerException when dumping sstable
                 Key: CASSANDRA-14200
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14200
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Simon Zhou
            Assignee: Simon Zhou
             Fix For: 3.0.x


We have an sstable whose schema has a column of type timestamp and it's not part of primary key. When dumping the sstable using sstabledump there is NPE like this:
{code:java}

The reason is that we use a null Date when there is no value for this column:
{code}
    public Date deserialize(ByteBuffer bytes)
    {
        return bytes.remaining() == 0 ? null : new Date(ByteBufferUtil.toLong(bytes));
    }
{code}

It seems that we should not deserialize columns with null values.
