> Overview:
> In May through June of 2016 a static analysis was performed on version 3.0.5 of the Cassandra source code. The analysis included an automated analysis using HP Fortify v4.21 SCA and a manual analysis utilizing SciTools Understand v4. The results of that analysis includes the issue below.
> Issue:
> In the file LegacySchemaMigrator.java on line 286 there is a portability problem with the call to toLowerCase() because it has different locales which may lead to unexpected output. This may also circumvent custom validation routines.
> {code:java}
> LegacySchemaMigrator.java, lines 286-289:
> 286 boolean isSuper = "super".equals(tableRow.getString("type").toLowerCase());
> 287 boolean isDense = tableRow.has("is_dense")
> 288                 ? tableRow.getBoolean("is_dense")
> 289                 : calculateIsDense(rawComparator, columnRows);
> {code}
