Cassandra : How to get the String value of column data irrespective of datatype

Question

I am trying to fetch the results from a com.datastax.driver.core.ResultSet and print it:

ResultSet results = getSession().execute("Select * from test.table"); //getsession returns a session
int numcols = results.getColumnDefinitions().size();
for ( Row row : results ) {
    for (int colIndex = 0; colIndex < numcols; colIndex++) {
           System.out.println("data: " + row.getString(colIndex));
     }
}

row.getString(colIndex) throws an exception in case of datatypes other than String. How will I be able to get a string data irrespective of what data type it is?

Answer 1

This code will print the type of each column and value

ResultSet results = getSession().execute("Select * from test.table");    
int numcols = results.getColumnDefinitions().size();
for ( Row row : results ) {
   for (int colIndex = 0; colIndex < numcols; colIndex++) {
         System.out.println("Type : "+row.getColumnDefinitions().getType(colIndex));
         Class c = row.getColumnDefinitions().getType(colIndex).asJavaClass();
         if(c == Integer.class) {
              System.out.println("Data :" + row.getInt(colIndex));
         }
         //similar for other type
   }
}
