title: Inserting data in table with umlaut is not possible
body: <p>I am using Cassandra 1.2.5 (cqlsh 3.0.2) and trying to inserting data in a small test-database with german characters which is not possible. I get back the message from cqlsh: "Bad Request: Input length = 1"</p>
  
  <p>below is the setup of the keyspace, the table and the insert.</p>
  
  <pre><code>CREATE KEYSPACE test  WITH REPLICATION = { 'class' : 'SimpleStrategy', 'replication_factor' : 1 };
  use test;
  
  CREATE TABLE testdata (
  id varchar,
  text varchar,
  PRIMARY KEY (id)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>This is working:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>insert into testdata (id, text) values ('4711', 'test');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>This is not allowed:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>insert into testdata (id, text) values ('4711', 'töst`);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><code>-&gt;Bad Request: Input length = 1</code></p>
  
  <p>my locale is :<code>de_DE.UTF-8</code></p>
  
  <p>Does Cassandra 1.2.5 has a problem with Umlaut ?</p>
