Description

as a cassandra-cli user, I'd like to set DoubleType value to cassandra through the cli tool, such that I could create test data from the cli tool easily.

(similarly, I'd like to Double value available in the "assume" command: ex: assume pageCache comparator as double; )

The email related to this issue:

Hi all,

I'm trying to manually adding some double values into a column family. From the Hector client, there's a DoubleSerializer.
but looks like the cli tool is not providing a way to enter floating point values. here's the message I got:

[default@video] set cateogry['1']['sport'] = float('0.5');
Function 'float' not found. Available functions: bytes, integer, long, int, lexicaluuid, timeuuid, utf8, ascii, countercolumn.

Is there a way to insert floating pointer value from the cli tool?
