Description

In the command line:

create column family test with key_validation_class = 'AsciiType' and comparator = 'LongType' and default_validation_class = 'IntegerType';
describe keyspace;
Keyspace: Test:
  Replication Strategy: org.apache.cassandra.locator.SimpleStrategy
  Durable Writes: true
    Options: [replication_factor:1]
  Column Families:
    ColumnFamily: test
      Key Validation Class: org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.AsciiType
      Default column value validator: org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.BytesType
      Columns sorted by: org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.LongType

      Key cache size / save period in seconds: 200000.0/14400

      GC grace seconds: 864000

      Read repair chance: 1.0
      Replicate on write: false

The "Default column value validator" is BytesType instead of IntegerType. Also tested with other types or with the "update column family" command, same problem occur.

[default@Test] update column family test with default_validation_class = 'LongType';

Btw, they are a typo in file src/resources/org/apache/cassandra/cli/CliHelp.yaml line 642: key_valiation_class > key_validation_class
Very annoying for people like me who stupidly copy/paste the help.
