[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-3874) cqlsh: handle situation where data can't be deserialized as expected

["paul cannon (Commented) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3874?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13208787#comment-13208787 ] 

paul cannon commented on CASSANDRA-3874:
----------------------------------------

Changes made in my 3874-1.0 branch at github: https://github.com/thepaul/cassandra/tree/3874-1.0

Since the merge forward is not completely trivial, my 3874-1.1 branch has those commits already merged to 1.1: https://github.com/thepaul/cassandra/tree/3874-1.1 , and it will be an easy merge from that to your updated cassandra-1.1, whatever it is.

I'll attach patch versions too, in case you still prefer those.

> When cqlsh tries to deserialize data which doesn't match the expected type (either because the validation type for the column/key alias was changed, or ASSUME has been used), it just fails completely and in most cases won't show any results at all. When there is only one misbehaving value out of a large number, this can be frustrating.
> cqlsh should either show some failure marker in place of the bad value, or simply show the bytes along with some indicator of a failed deserialization.
