Aleksey Yeschenko commented on CASSANDRA-7622: ---------------------------------------------- bq. But the node just added as the initial contact point. When that node fails, the statement would be silently executed against another node. If true this is something that needs to be changed, as it affects reading system tables. > Implement virtual tables > ------------------------ > > Key: CASSANDRA-7622 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7622 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Tupshin Harper > Assignee: Jeff Jirsa > 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)
