Add a Cassandra client gadget
-----------------------------
Key: AMDATU-253
URL: http://jira.amdatu.org/jira/browse/AMDATU-253
Project: Amdatu
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Amdatu Cassandra
Affects Versions: 0.1.0
Reporter: Ivo Ladage - van Doorn
It would be quite useful if a gadget would be available providing a command
line interface on the Cassandra database. Note that cassandra 0.7 does come
with a command line interface (cassandra-cli), but this client cannot be used
with Amdatu because of an OutOfMemory error upon startup. This seems to be a
known but 'wont't fix' issue.
This exact issue is described on
http://www.apacheserver.net/Cassandra-OutOfMemoryError-at1059212.htm
The answer however is a bit disappointing;
don't use raw Thrift, use one of the clients from
http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/ClientOptions06
The referred clients are API libraries, no command line interfaces. Besides,
cassandra-cli is distributed among with cassandra.
A client should support at least some simple queries like;
- Retrieve keyspaces
- Retrieve ColumnFamily definitions
- Retrieve all rows from a certain columnfamily
