string with hyphens

[NiveditaViswanath]

I was trying to insert into a table with an 'id' column that is of 'text' datatype.
The value I was trying to insert is : "115f1999-b4e4-4e0d-9f81-47cd5e6b2801"

I get a 'String didn't validate' error.

This error is not from Cassandra's side, since I am able to manually insert this value. What is the workaround for this?

Have you tried using hint syntax? I suspect that node-cassandra-cql is detecting that your string is a UUID, and hence sending it a CQL statement without quotes.

Also, don't forget to migrate to the new version of the driver:
