Why does cutting and pasting from the Cassandra CLI tutorial not work?

Question

Blindly following http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/CassandraCli, and can someone please explain this?

Answer 1

Before you run any set command in Cassandra CLI, it is always advisable to do the following :

assume  keys as utf8;
assume  comparator as utf8;
assume  validator as utf8;

This will ensure that everything you set and list will be understood

P.S : This is only for newcomers to Cassandra
