Cassandra convert Token to long

Question

I wanna run a query like this on a table:

SELECT count(*) FROM mytable WHERE token(_id) >= -9220405531215751472 AND token(_id) < -9215701564955960000 AND state=true ALLOW FILTERING;

I read range of tokens by metadata.getTokenMap() and then tokenMap.getTokenRanges(). But it gives me start and end token as Token Object (e.g. Murmur3Token(9187337865070158013) )! How I can convert it to long or String to use in query:

CqlSession session = builder.build();

Metadata metadata = session.getMetadata();
if (metadata.getTokenMap().isPresent()) {

   TokenMap tokenMap = metadata.getTokenMap().get();

   for(TokenRange range : tokenMap.getTokenRanges()) {

          System.out.println(range.getStart()); // output Murmur3Token(9187337865070158013)
   }
}

Answer 1

I found how I can convert it! It must be converted to Murmur3Token explicitly and call getValue method.

long start,end;
String sql;

for(TokenRange range : tokenMap.getTokenRanges()) {
    start = ((Murmur3Token) range.getStart()).getValue();
    end = ((Murmur3Token) range.getEnd()).getValue();
    sql = "SELECT count(*) FROM mytable WHERE token(_id) >= "+start+" AND token(_id) < "+end+" AND state=true ALLOW FILTERING;";
    System.out.println(i +":" + sql);
}
