[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-12606) CQLSSTableWriter unable to use blob conversion functions

["Alex Petrov (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12606?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15515586#comment-15515586 ] 

Alex Petrov commented on CASSANDRA-12606:
-----------------------------------------

I'm wondering if {{textAsBlob}} is useful in this case. You could just pass bound values as buffers using {{ByteBuffer}}, for example with {{ByteBufferUtil.bytes()}}.

Bringing in functions would require daemon initialization, which in turn requires a configuration file to be present. For a simple tool like {{CQLSStableWriter}} this is a big amount of (unnecessary) configuration. 

So I'd say that this is "not a bug".

> {code}
> This is caused in FunctionResolver.get(...) when candidates.addAll(Schema.instance.getFunctions(name.asNativeFunction())); is called, as there is no system keyspace initialised.
