Description

We get parse error Failed to import 1 rows: ParseError - argument for 's' must be a string when using the following table and data:

CREATE TABLE ks.test (
    object_id ascii,
    user_id timeuuid,
    counter_id ascii,
    count counter,
    PRIMARY KEY ((object_id, user_id), counter_id)
)

The problem is this line here, strings are serialized as unicode rather than ordinary strings but only for non-prepared statements (unsure why).
