[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-2745) CQL Error InvalidRequestException(why:line 1:22 mismatched character '6' expecting '-')

["Eric Evans (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2745?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13045697#comment-13045697 ] 

Eric Evans commented on CASSANDRA-2745:
---------------------------------------

No, this is expected behavior.  You can use an unquoted string literal when it is alpha-numeric (including underscore) and begins with a letter, otherwise you must quote it (single quotes).

The documentation could probably be clearer/state this more prominently; Suggestions for improved documentation welcomed.

> There appears to be a bug in the way Cassandra is parsing the ColumnFamily names when using CQL.  It looks as though the parse tends to think a ColumnFamily name may be hex when it really is a string such as 30BDB2526BA36CD0E4ABBBEEA88911DD.
