Error message

e.getMessage() (InvalidRequestException wrapping MarshalException)

What it means

In Marker.bindAndGet, a bound-variable payload failed receiver.type.validate with a MarshalException; the code rethrows it as an InvalidRequestException carrying e.getMessage(). Indicates the serialized bytes for the bind marker are not decodable as the receiver column's type during statement execution.

Solutions

1. Supply a bound value whose serialized bytes validate against the column's type
2. Verify client-side serialization matches the schema type (int vs varint, timestamp format, etc.)

When it happens

Trigger: Thrown at src/java/org/apache/cassandra/cql3/terms/Marker.java:121 when the library encounters an invalid state.

Common situations: See trigger scenarios.
