Description

When exporting to JSON tables created using cqlsh, values are always exported to hexa : the serializeColumn function fails to get the correct value validator from the cfMetaData, since getColumnDefinition(column) returns null.

I'm not a java expert and doesn't really understand the use of ByteBuffer for Map : the workaround I found is to pass to cfMetaData.getValueValidator a new wrapped ByteBuffer of the column.name argument, then the validator is correctly found from the cfMetaData.column_metadata.
