------------------------------------------

row ordering is controlled by your partitioner.

>                 Key: CASSANDRA-626
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-626
>             Project: Cassandra
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Documentation & website
>    Affects Versions: 0.5
>            Reporter: Paul R. Brown
>            Priority: Minor
>
> As part of some experiments with Cassandra, I wanted to build a column space with row keys that are Long (64-bit binary blocks) and column names that are Long, and this seems to be supported by the data configuration infrastructure:
> {code}<ColumnFamily ColumnType="Super"
>   CompareWith="LongType"
>   CompareSubcolumnsWith="LongType"
>   Name="UserEvent"/>{code}
> But there is no obvious way to perform the insert over the Thrift interface via Java; I tried various ways of turning the Long bits into Strings for the API call, but the insert call returns:
> {code}Exception in thread "main" InvalidRequestException(why:A long is exactly 8 bytes){code}
> The status of keys as either byte[] or String and the mechanisms for inserting need to be clarified and surfaced in the API.
