Fixed, and CUSTOMER-583's own description settles it: it reports in(application_id) from 2024.1.22, later than the 2024.1.12 boundary I wrote. Reworded as release lines rather than a version sequence — 2024.1 emits in(...), 2026.1.8 emits IN(...), lowercase restored in 2026.1.12 and 2026.2.6.

Fixed the same way as the manual. The chronology is now stated per release line, so the 2024.1 spelling agrees with this PR's own 2024.1.21 run instead of contradicting it.

Fixed — same rewording as the manual and IdentifierIndexTest, so all three now agree with the 2024.1.21 and 2026.1.10 runs this test was verified against.
…ER-902) The prepared-statement page recommended filling anonymous `?` markers through the name the server synthesizes for them. That name is not part of any contract: ScyllaDB spelled the marker of an IN relation `in(col)` up to 2024.1.12, `IN(col)` afterwards, and `in(col)` again from 2026.1.12 (SCYLLADB-3454), which broke applications binding the lowercase spelling on upgrade (CUSTOMER-583). Recommend positional binding for `?` and named binding only for explicit `:name` markers, and spell out what the driver does and does not shield callers from: the String setters match case-insensitively, while CqlIdentifier and double-quoted names match exactly, and CqlIdentifier.fromCql rejects a parenthesised name outright. Also note that a named setter writes every matching variable, not just the first. For simple statements the names are resolved by the coordinator rather than locally, so record that anonymous markers must be filled positionally there.

…IVER-902) Nothing pinned the behaviour that makes the driver immune to CUSTOMER-583: bound statements always send values positionally, and the local name to index lookup ignores case, so a variable the server called `IN(v)` is still found by `in(v)`. IdentifierIndexTest now covers a synthesized `IN(ck)` name — including under the Turkish locale, where lowercasing `I` yields a dotless `ı` and only a lookup pinned to Locale.ROOT still matches. The existing cases use `Foo`/`foo`/`fOO`, none of which contain the letter that flipped, so they do not catch that. The exact-match paths are pinned too: a double-quoted name and a CqlIdentifier of the other case both miss, and CqlIdentifierTest covers fromCql rejecting the parenthesised form. BoundStatementCcmIT adds the end-to-end counterpart. It reads the synthesized name back from the metadata rather than hardcoding a spelling, so it holds whichever one the server emits — verified against Scylla 2024.1.21, which sends `in(v)`, and 2026.1.10, which sends `IN(v)`.

…ER-902) The UPPER_CASE naming convention folds the Java property name itself to build the CQL identifier the generated code will reference. It used the JVM default locale, so a property named `id` upper-cases to a dotted `İ` in a Turkish JVM and the entity would be mapped to a column that does not exist. This is the same defect as the one CUSTOMER-583 exposed one layer up, and it is decided by the locale of the JVM running the annotation processor rather than the one running the application. Every other convention delegates to Guava's CaseFormat, which is ASCII-only and locale-neutral. The new test pins that too, so the claim is verified rather than assumed, and it uses names carrying a lower-case `i`: `productId` would not do, since its `I` is already capital and no locale changes it.

Driver-side follow-up to CUSTOMER-583 /
SCYLLADB-3454, tracked as
DRIVER-902 under epic DRIVER-898.
Background
ScyllaDB synthesizes a name for each anonymous
?marker. For anINrelation that name becameIN(col)when the hardcodedformat("in({})", …)was generalized toformat("{}({})", oper, …),and SCYLLADB-3454 restores
in(col)in 2026.1.12 / 2026.2.6. The spelling differs by releaseline, not along one version sequence: 2024.1 emits
in(col)(confirmed at 2024.1.21 by this PR'sown IT, and at 2024.1.22 in CUSTOMER-583 itself), while 2026.1.8 emits
IN(col). An applicationbinding the lowercase spelling broke on upgrade with
Unexpected unset value for bind variable 1.Finding: bind-variable resolution needs no behavior change
Prepared-statement marker names never leave the client — the
BoundStatementbranch ofConversions.messageOfalways passes an empty named-values map, so theEXECUTEframe ispositional and name→index is resolved locally. That local lookup is case-insensitive
(
IdentifierIndexfolds both sides withLocale.ROOT), sosetList("in(col)", …)already resolvesagainst a server-emitted
IN(col). Repreparation coverage also already exists(
PreparedStatementIT.should_update_metadata_when_schema_changed_across_*,handle_id_changes_on_reprepare).So the bind-name half of this PR is documentation and test coverage, matching DRIVER-898's
acceptance criteria. Review then turned up one genuine locale defect nearby, fixed here as its own
commit: the mapper's
UPPER_CASEnaming convention folded the Java property name with the defaultlocale, so a property named
idgenerated a reference to a column spelled with a dottedİunder aTurkish build JVM. Every other convention delegates to Guava's
CaseFormat, which the new test pinsas locale-neutral rather than assuming it.
Changes
Docs.
manual/core/statements/prepared/README.mdactively recommended the fragile pattern("You can use named setters even if the query uses anonymous parameters; Cassandra names the
parameters after the column they apply to") with no mention of
INmarkers. It now recommendspositional binding for
?and named binding only for explicit:name, gives the ScyllaDB spellinghistory as the concrete precedent, and records what the driver does and does not shield callers
from:
Stringsetters fold case, whileCqlIdentifierand double-quoted names match exactly andCqlIdentifier.fromCqlrejects a parenthesised name outright. Also notes that a named setter writesevery matching variable.
manual/core/statements/simple/README.mdgains a note that simplestatements have their names resolved by the coordinator.
Tests.
IdentifierIndexTestpins the mechanism, including under the Turkish locale — the letterthat flipped is
I, and lowercasing it there yields a dotlessı, so only a lookup pinned toLocale.ROOTstill matches. The existing cases useFoo/foo/fOO, none of which contain thatletter, so nothing covered it before. The index is built inside the locale override so that both
halves of the fold are covered — the one the constructor applies to the names it indexes as well as
the one the lookup applies. The exact-match paths are pinned too, and
CqlIdentifierTestcoversfromCqlrejecting the parenthesised form.BoundStatementCcmITadds the end-to-end counterpart,reading the synthesized name back from the metadata rather than hardcoding a spelling, and asserting
the name really is synthesized so the test cannot quietly stop covering anything.
Testing
mvn test -pl core— 3944 tests green;mapper-processor164 green.in(v), and 2026.1.10, which sendsIN(v)— verified by probe, so both spellings are genuinely exercised.IdentifierIndex's case folding is removed, and that theTurkish case fails when
Locale.ROOTis dropped from either the indexing side or the lookupside — each on its own.
BuiltInNameConversionsTestfails withexpected:<""[I]D""> but was:<""[İ]D"">whenLocale.ROOTis dropped. The first version of that test usedproductIdanddid not fail — its
Iis already capital, so no locale changes it.cd docs && make testclean.Deferred: a Simulacron variant priming each spelling. Running against two real server versions
covers the same ground more convincingly.
