Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-9193:
---------------------------------------------

I don't know, I'm sorry to be difficult but I don't really like the idea of 
having people write functions that manipulate internal data structures (like 
ReadCommand). Those stuffs are way too volatile to make a user-facing API 
depend on it (please don't get me wrong, I'm not saying we haven't done such 
things in the past, I'm saying that every single time we've done it, we've come 
to regret it and it has been a bad user experience).

I also really agree that this should reuse stuffs from CASSANDRA-7526 as much 
as possible rather than being JS specific.

Anyway, I'm going to go out on a limb here since I haven't though too much 
about this, but the kind of interface I would prefer would be something along 
the lines of:
{noformat}
CREATE FUNCTION myFunction(r request) LANGUAGE JAVA AS
$$
    if (!r.isSelect())
        return;

    if (r.consistency().equals("ALL"))
        logger.warn("WHAT!?");

    if (r.size() > 500000)
        logger.warn("Ouch!");

    // If the request has 'c1 = 3' in the WHERE clause
    if (r.selects("c1", 3))
        r.trace();
$$;

INJECT myFunction ON REQUEST TO myKs.myCf;
{noformat}
I'm not attached to any of the specifics here, it's just to say that it would 
be ideal in my book if 1) we could reuse UDFs and 2) having it directly doable 
from CQL.  I'm also her implying we'd add some custom {{request}} object that 
we'd pass to the function and would also to get the different parameters of a 
request.

> I want the equivalent of dtrace for Cassandra. I want the ability to 
> intercept a query with a dynamic script (assume JS) and based on logic in 
> that script trigger the statement for trace or logging. 
> Examples 
> - Trace only INSERT statements to a particular CF. 
> - Trace statements for a particular partition or consistency level.
> - Log statements that fail to reach the desired consistency for read or write.
> - Log If the request size for read or write exceeds some threshold
> At some point in the future it would be helpful to also do things such as log 
> partitions greater than X bytes or Z cells when performing compaction. 
> Essentially be able to inject custom code dynamically without a reboot to the 
> different stages of C*. 
> The code should be executed synchronously as part of the monitored task, but 
> we should provide the ability to log or execute CQL asynchronously from the 
> provided API.
> Further down the line we could use this functionality to modify/rewrite 
> requests or tasks dynamically.
