Environment

• Cassandra Loader

Issue

While running the Cassandra Loader, the user is getting the following error:

Length of parsed input (4097) exceeds the maximum number of characters defined

Resolution

Overview

This error is occurring because by default, the maximum number of characters that can be parsed is 4096. If the input exceeds this limit, the error is thrown.

Steps

To resolve this issue, you can increase the maximum number of characters that can be parse. This should equal or more than the length of the input in the largest column.

You can do this by using the -charsPerColumn option.

./cassandra-loader $other-options -charsPerColumn 5000

Additional Information

Using cassandra-loader/unloader and dsbulk
