I’m trying to fetch out of composite columns using Astyanax 1.0.9 and got “InvalidRequestException(why:Too many bytes for comparator)”

Here is my CF:

CREATE TABLE user_attributes (
user_id bigint,
attr_name ascii,
attr_value text,
last_sync_timestamp bigint,
last_sync_digest text,
PRIMARY KEY (user_id, attr_name)
);

I can read data out with CQL:

select * from user_attributes where user_id = 1 and attr_name = 'mock';

Here is my POJO for composite column:

public static class UserAttributeCassandraTuple implements Comparable {
    public @Component(ordinal = 0) String attrName;
    public @Component(ordinal = 1) String attrValue;
    public @Component(ordinal = 2) long lastSyncTimeStamp;
    public @Component(ordinal = 3) String lastSyncDigest;

    public int compareTo(Object o) { /* impl omitted here */ }
    public int hashCode() { /* impl omitted here */ }
    public boolean equals(Object o) { /* impl omitted here */ }
}

Here is my test driver: (keyspace is setup in junit @before and works fine for non-composite columns)

@Test
public void test_user_attributes() throws Exception {

    ColumnFamily<BigInteger, UserAttributeCassandraTuple> CF_USER_ATTR = new ColumnFamily<BigInteger, UserAttributeCassandraTuple>(
        "user_attributes", // Column Family Name
        BigIntegerSerializer.get(), // Key Serializer
        userAttributeSerializer); // Column Serializer

    // proto column for "mock"
    UserAttributeCassandraTuple mockColumn = new UserAttributeCassandraTuple();
    mockColumn.attrName = "mock";

    OperationResult<ColumnList<UserAttributeCassandraTuple>> result = keyspace.prepareQuery(CF_USER_ATTR)
    .getKey(BigInteger.valueOf(1))
    .withColumnSlice(mockColumn, mockColumn)
    .execute();
    ColumnList<UserAttributeCassandraTuple> columns = result.getResult();

    for (Column<UserAttributeCassandraTuple> c : columns) {
        System.out.println(c.getName() + "=" + c.getStringValue());
    }
}

It compiles fine, but failed during execute():

I tried replacing BigInteger with Long, but got the same error.

Any suggestion what I am doing wrong?

thanks
Chuck

    Astyanax is a Thrift-based client, so this isn’t going to work: the (server-side) Thrift validation path is not CQL-aware.

    We are addressing this in 1.2.0 for a smoother upgrade path; otherwise, you either need to use a CQL client to access your CQL tables, or define your schema using the CLI for a Thrift-based client.
