Description

Currently CassandraStore#addOrUpdateField contains a switch statement to evaluate different types of column values but in the end the cassandraClient object ends up converting to the value to type string anyway. The TypeInferringSerializer [1] can be used instead in order to take advantage of when the value is already of type ByteBuffer.
