[jira] [Updated] (CASSANDRA-8675) COPY TO/FROM broken for newline
characters
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8675?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Lex Lythius updated CASSANDRA-8675:
-----------------------------------
Description:
Exporting/importing does not preserve contents when texts containing newline (and possibly other) characters are involved:
cqlsh:test> create table if not exists copytest (id int primary key, t text);
cqlsh:test> insert into copytest (id, t) values (1, 'This has a newline
... character');
cqlsh:test> insert into copytest (id, t) values (2, 'This has a quote " character');
cqlsh:test> insert into copytest (id, t) values (3, 'This has a fake tab \t character (typed backslash, t)');
cqlsh:test> select * from copytest;
id | t
----+---------------------------------------------------------
1 | This has a newline\ncharacter
2 | This has a quote " character
3 | This has a fake tab \t character (entered slash-t text)
(3 rows)
cqlsh:test> copy copytest to '/tmp/copytest.csv';
3 rows exported in 0.034 seconds.
cqlsh:test>
cqlsh:test> copy copytest to '/tmp/copytest.csv';
3 rows exported in 0.034 seconds.
cqlsh:test> copy copytest from '/tmp/copytest.csv';
3 rows imported in 0.005 seconds.
cqlsh:test> select * from copytest;
id | t
----+-------------------------------------------------------
1 | This has a newlinencharacter
2 | This has a quote " character
3 | This has a fake tab \t character (typed backslash, t)
(3 rows)
I tried replacing \n in the CSV file with \\n, which just expands to \n in the table; and with an actual newline character, which fails with error since it prematurely terminates the record.
It seems backslashes are only used to take the following character as a literal
Until this is fixed, what would be the best way to refactor an old table with a new, incompatible structure maintaining its content and name?
