> Cassandra exposes metadata about ColumnFamily definitions (in the describe_keyspace method), including what AbstractType comparator is being used for column names (and values, but those are more complicated and can wait for a separate ticket).  We should use that to both display column names in a human-readable format (with AbstractType.getString) and allow taking input in the same format (this will require adding an AbstractType.getBytes method to convert the other direction).
> The result should be the ability to do something like this from the cli:
> [default@unknown] connect localhost/9160                            
> Connected to: "Test Cluster" on localhost/9160
> [default@unknown] create keyspace Keyspace1
> fbe30685-c596-11df-a09b-e700f669bcfc
> [default@unknown] use Keyspace1
> Authenticated to keyspace: Keyspace1
> [default@Keyspace1] create column family CF2 with comparator='LongType'
> d539c227-c597-11df-a09b-e700f669bcfc
> [default@Keyspace1] set CF2['key1']['12345'] = 'value'
> Currently, the last part fails with "A long is exactly 8 bytes," meaning it didn't know how to convert '12345' into a Long for the column name.
