Managed to patch a very annoying bug. It has to do with converting a blob into a string. Made a regex to remove the double quotes that made the string be an illegal JSON and crash the parser. This is a little serious, and we should, at not point, have strings like that being returned from the database. Either the test data has to changed to fix this at its core, or it might a bug from the Cassandra framework and a bug has to be filed.
