Hi,  
I have a cassandra table with id column having datatype as uuid. Now i want to select records from the table but it is giving error as uuid is unidentified in jdbc (i am using cassandrajdbc1.1.jar) . So I tried casting id column to varchar but still it not working. My current configuration is as follows:  
jdbc {  
jdbc\_connection\_string =\> ""  
jdbc\_user =\> ""  
jdbc\_password =\> ""  
jdbc\_driver\_library =\> "etc/logstash/configs/cassandrajdbc1.1.jar"  
jdbc\_driver\_class =\> "com.dbschema.CassandraJdbcDriver"  
statement =\> 'select cast(id as varchar(100)) as id, country, "currentStatus", "dateCreated", "dateProcessed", "docCreatedBy", "recordsMatched", "totalRecords" from upload\_excel'  
schedule =\> "\* \* \* \* \*"   
type =\> "uploadexcel"  
}  
and the error I m getting is :-  
[logstash.inputs.jdbc] Exception when executing JDBC query {:exception=\>#\<Sequel::DatabaseError: Java::ComDatastaxDriverCoreExceptions::SyntaxError: line 1:15 missing ')' at 'as' (select cast(id [as] varchar...)\>}

Thanks for the help in advance
