Cassandra slice query not working with composite key - scala

Question

I am newbie in scala and i want to convert my java code to scala.
my database is cassandra and column family definition look like this
Family name :colFam
Rowkey: rowKey1
=>(name=comkey1:comkey1,value='xyz',timestamp=1554515485)
=>(name=comkey1:comkey2,value='xyz',timestamp=1554515485)
=>(name=comkey1:comkey3,value='xyz',timestamp=1554515485)
=>(name=comkey1:comkey4,value='xyz',timestamp=1554515485)
=>(name=comkey1:comkey5,value='xyz',timestamp=1554515485)
-------------------------------------------------------
Rowkey: rowKey2
=>(name=comkey1:comkey3,value='abc',timestamp=1554515485)
-------------------------------------------------------
Rowkey: rowKey4
=>(name=comkey1:comkey4,value='pqr',timestamp=1554515485)
-------------------------------------------------------
now i want to fetch all record from cassandra and my columnQuery working fine
val sliceQuery = HFactory.createColumnQuery(rankqKeyspace, StringSerializer.get(), new CompositeSerializer(), StringSerializer.get())
problem in my sliceQuery,normally slice query working fine with simple column name but when i used column type composite,it giving me error
var startKey = new Composite();
var endKey = new Composite();
startKey.addComponent("comkey1", se);
startKey.addComponent("comkey2", se);
endKey.addComponent("comkey1", se);
endKey.addComponent("comkey4", se);
val sliceQuery = HFactory.createSliceQuery(rankqKeyspace, se, new CompositeSerializer(), se)
slicesQuery.setColumnFamily("colFam");
slicesQuery.setKey(rowKey1)
slicesQuery.setRange(startKey, endKey, false, Integer.MAX_VALUE);
val result = slicesQuery.execute()
val orderedRows = result.get();
it giving me error "NullPointerException"
val orderedRows = result.get();
println(orderedRows)
this line return always null value

Answer 1

Anyone running into the same problem here, Hector doesn't play well with the latest version of Google Guava resulting in this error, check if there are any libraries depending on a different version of Guava. For my exact situation I ended up using Guava 13.0 since it also contained the parts that were needed for the other library.
I would recommend migrating away from Hector if at all possible, it is no longer maintained. I've personally started moving to the new Datastax driver with CQL and it's making a lot of things easier.

Answer 2

I guess you need explicitly setup serializer by position for each of your composite keys:
var startKey = new Composite();
startKey.setSerializerByPosition(0, comkey1Serializer)
startKey.setSerializerByPosition(1, comkey2Serializer)
startKey.addComponent("comkey1", se);
startKey.addComponent("comkey2", se);
