Description

ColumnDefinition.

{ascii, utf8, bool, ...}

static methods used to initialize schema_* CFs column_metadata do not respect CF comparator and use ByteBufferUtil.bytes(...) for column names which creates problems in CLI and probably in other places.

The CompositeType validator throws exception on first column

String columnName = columnNameValidator.getString(columnDef.name);

Because it appears the composite type length header is wrong (25455)

AbstractCompositeType.getWithShortLength
