Hi Nate,

I am trying to use the following function thought its not compiling ..
    /**
     * Insert a new value keyed by key
     *
     * <at> param key Key for the value
     * <at> param value the Blob value to insert
     */
    public boolean insert(final String key, final String columnName, final ByteBufferSerializer value) {
        this.logger.debug("start insert(final String key, final String columnName, final String value)");
        try {
            createMutator(this.keyspace, this.byteBufferSerializer).insert(key, this.columnFamilyName,
                    createColumn(columnName, value, this.stringSerializer, this.byteBufferSerializer));
            return true;
        } catch (final HectorException hex) {
            this.logger.info("Hector Exception Message: " + hex.getMessage());
            this.logger.info("Hector Exception String: " + hex.toString());
            this.logger.info("Method will return false");
            return false;
        }
    }


this is a function where the column name is string like "sha1response" but the value will be a blob. its stored as a Blob in the oracle db ..

Any pointers will be appreciated ..

Column values are bytes by default. For the generics, type the query
classes requiring column type with wither byte[] or ByteBuffer and use
BytesSerializer or ByteBufferSerializer respectively.
