Required field 'timestamp' was not found in serialized data! about cassandra HOT 8 CLOSED

We see the exact same problem. Never been able to track it down.

It appears that you're setting the timestamp to 0, no?

I can't speak for him, but we never set the timestamp explicitly in app code.

I do not set that, it should be set automatically by thrift gem (I think)
I noticed that happens when I used utf-8 characters, when I force input to be ascii-8bit (even if string is utf in fact) everything works fine.
All thrift files encoding is set to ascii-8bit

# encoding: ascii-8bit

it use BufferedTransport class to send data (http://github.com/fauna/thrift-rb/blob/master/lib/thrift/transport/buffered_transport.rb)
def write(buf)
@wbuf << buf
end
my data is for example "some utf8 string ĄŚĘŁÓąęśćół"
but @wbuf is always ascii-8bit and it raise exception when ruby can not add utf-8 string to ascii string,
I don't known why.
So we need utf-8 support.

Anyone can confirm?

I don't use ruby 1.9, so I can't easily help on this. I think mperham might be more useful.

It's quite possible there are encoding bugs in Thrift or Cassandra but that's not my area of expertise either. Since I'm not using Cassandra for my job anymore, I can't spend time helping out at this point.

It's works, well... somehow

when I save to cassandra I force string to be marked as ascii-8bit

client = Cassandra.new('Test', '127.0.0.1:9160')
client.insert(:Cmessages, "ad26857a063b54659f3d7626b152864d698167c5" , {
    body: "some utf8 string ĄŚĘŁÓąęśćół".force_encoding("ascii-8bit"),
    entry_url: "http://url.com/someurl",
    posted_on: Date.today.to_s(:db)}.stringify_keys
)

and after I get value from cassandra I do .force_encoding("utf-8")
after that strings looks good so I will stick to it for now

Looks like a problem outside this gem, so I'm going to close this.
