title: Unable to retrieve data from Cassandra
body: <p>I cannot retrieve data from Cassandra after I exit the cli. When I go back to get the data in another session, I get this error:</p>
  
  <p>org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.MarshalException: cannot parse 'jsmith' as hex bytes</p>
  
  <p>It seems the column family stays and the keyspace too.</p>
  
  <p>I also changed the keys format to ascii (assume Users keys as ascii;)... And that does not stay set either. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a reason why? What is going on?</p>
