Insertion question

[Lucas Nodine <lu...@gmail.com>]

I am working with 0.7.0-beta1 (distribution from bin on website)

First, am I correct in that since beta1 keys are now bytes instead of
strings?

Second, should there be additional data before the key value that I specify
(read below for explaination)?

I am attempting to perform a batch mutation when executing the mutation I
receive the following:

DEBUG [pool-1-thread-3] 2010-09-24 20:59:24,329 CassandraServer.java (line
397) batch_mutate
DEBUG [pool-1-thread-3] 2010-09-24 20:59:24,332 StorageProxy.java (line 271)
insert writing local RowMutation(keyspace='LawOffice',
key='537472696e673a6663356661353964373833643462633262376466326661653830653539356664',
modifications=[MetaAssets])
DEBUG [pool-1-thread-3] 2010-09-24 20:59:24,341 CassandraServer.java (line
679) logout complete

*NOTE* 537472696e673a <-- that is not part of my key

Then when I attempt a get with the exact key that I passed to cassandra to
save the logs show this:

DEBUG [pool-1-thread-4] 2010-09-24 21:00:28,438 CassandraServer.java (line

column_parent='QueryPath(columnFamilyName='MetaAssets',

*NOTE* get key and insert key are the same except for the values noted
above.  If anyone has an idea what I might be doing wrong, please let me
know.

My keys are based on GUIDs which are being saved as a string then,
eventually, inserted into cassandra as bytes.

Yes.

No.  My guess would be a problem with your client -- this is well-tested.
