Benjamin Lerer commented on CASSANDRA-7622: ------------------------------------------- As discussed with [~iamaleksey] off line, what we want to allow for virtual table is the following: * limited {{SELECT}}: select all or select where with complete primary key * limited {{UPDATE}}: no {{DELETE}}, no {{INSERT}} only {{UPDATE SET}} (It is required for some setter that are exposed via JMX) * the data returned or updated will only be the data of the host * virtual tables will not be accessible via Thrift The plan is to reuse the parsing logic and a bit of {{SelectStatement}} and {{UpdateStatement}}. > Implement virtual tables > ------------------------ > > Key: CASSANDRA-7622 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7622 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Core > Reporter: Tupshin Harper > Assignee: Benjamin Lerer > Fix For: 3.x > > > There are a variety of reasons to want virtual tables, which would be any > table that would be backed by an API, rather than data explicitly managed and > stored as sstables. > One possible use case would be to expose JMX data through CQL as a > resurrection of CASSANDRA-3527. > Another is a more general framework to implement the ability to expose yaml > configuration information. So it would be an alternate approach to > CASSANDRA-7370. > A possible implementation would be in terms of CASSANDRA-7443, but I am not > presupposing. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
