When you say

comparator=BytesType

You are telling cassandra that the column names in the CF's are just bytes. But when you create the column meta data you are specifying the column names as strings.

use UTF8Type as the comparator.

Hi,

I get that now (after Samal's reply in this thread). My question is that I have at leats 4-5 similar CFs where I earlier used BytesType comparator and similar column names in column metadata and they all got the column names right in the Cassandra schema changes done.

Why am I seeing the error only now with this particular CF?

Cheers,
