We often have to examine raw values, obtained from various sources, like
sstables, logs and coredumps. For some types it is quite simple to
convert raw hex values to human readable ones manually (integers), for
others it is very hard or simply not practical. This command-line tool
aims to ease working with raw values, by providing facilities to print
them in human readable form and compare them. We can extend it with more
functions as needed.
Examples:
$ scylla_types -a print -t Int32Type b34b62d4
-1286905132
$ scylla_types -a compare -t 'ReversedType(TimeUUIDType)' b34b62d46a8d11ea0000005000237906 d00819896f6b11ea00000000001c571b
b34b62d4-6a8d-11ea-0000-005000237906 > d0081989-6f6b-11ea-0000-0000001c571b
