Chris Lohfink commented on CASSANDRA-7622:
------------------------------------------

PR has an abstract class thats more or less

{code}public ReadQuery getQuery(SelectStatement selectStatement, QueryOptions 
options, DataLimits limits, int nowInSec)
public void mutate(DecoratedKey partitionKey, Row row){code}

This ultimately allows either supporting local or distributed since you can 
make a ReadQuery for coordination that collects from replicas (never done here 
though, but its possible). The {{system_info}} keyspace added for system 
metrics locally. To make it easier for simpler local tables created an 
InMemoryVirtualTable implementation that these all extend. Examples seen in 
[https://github.com/clohfink/cassandra/tree/7622-trunk/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/db/virtual]

> 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.
