Cassandra Read a negative frame size

Question

I'm experiencing this error while trying to query Cassandra using cassandra-jdbc(1.1.3) driver.

Caused by: org.apache.thrift.transport.TTransportException: Read a negative frame size (-2147418110)!

This is my sample code snippet

statement = connection.prepareStatement(SELECT_CQL);
statement.setString(1, ID);
resultSet = statement.executeQuery();

I'm supposing you were trying to connect to Cassandra via JDBC on cql port (9042). I was able to connect to it enabling thrift with

nodetool enablethrift

and then connecting to port 9160 (or whichever you might have overriden in conf/cassandra.yaml). Hope this helps.
