sstableloader returns `java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "Filter.db"`

Question

I've been using the Java API to create an SSTable by following the instructions on this site.

The program compiles and works fine; no errors.

However when I try to load the table using the following command sstableloader -v -d 127.0.0.1 /path/to/sstable/keyspace/tablename it returns an error. Here is the stack trace it outputs:

NOTES

Tried to google it but there doesn't seem to be anything about this error.

The table that im loading into only has three columns: ( id uuid PRIMARY KEY, datablob text, tablename text ).

I've also tried loading empty data and just auto generating a uuid to check that it's not the data I'm loading but it still doesn't work.

Answer 1

I've fixed this by upgrading Cassandra to the latest version; I was running the last 2.x release and now it's running the latest 3.0.7 version.
