datastaxnewbie on "Byte array from Solr to Cassandra CF (DSE 3.0.1)"

Hi,

What is the proper way to create a bytes array in solr as well as reflect it in C* CF as blob or something similar? Looks like it's always creating the same column in C* as int. The schema that is loaded to create the CF is below (plus the CF description in cql). Thanks.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<schema name="DateTest" version="1.1">
<types>
<fieldType name="uuid" class="solr.UUIDField"/>
<fieldType name="bytes" class="solr.ByteField"/>
</types>
<fields>
<field name="id" type="uuid" indexed="true" stored="true"/>
<field name="MyData" type="bytes" indexed="false" stored="true"/>

</fields>

<uniqueKey>id</uniqueKey>

</schema>

-------------C* Table after loading schema----------
