Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-3380:
-------------------------------------------
Saying "Everything is REST" is about as useful as saying "Everything is TCP."
It's fine for a driver to be REST-based but that doesn't make, say, Cassandra
and Neo4j interchangeable. So I don't see the advantage from a development
point of view. Nor do I see "import cql" as a deal breaker over "import
urllib2" (especially since the former gives you a much better experience.)
Javascript frameworks is a valid point, although I hope everyone agrees that
the browser hitting the db directly is a colossally bad idea. I can see though
that it would simplify the proxy if it just has to decide "accept/reject" on a
REST query vs translate REST into another API.

> Key: CASSANDRA-3380
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3380
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Environment: Unix / Max OS X
> Reporter: Brian ONeill
> Attachments: trunk-3380.txt
>
>
> This is a native rest layer for Cassandra implementing
> AbstractCassandraDaemon.
> It uses JAX-RS fueled by Apache CXF.
> Presently it supports the following operations JSON over HTTP:
> - Create keyspace
> - Drop keyspace
> - Create column family
> - Drop column family
> - Insert row
> - Fetch row
> - Delete row
> - Insert column
> - Delete column
> - Fetch column
> The patch creates a new project in contrib/rest. You can compile the project
> using "ant", which uses ivy to pull in dependencies. To get setup, you can
> also use the pom.xml file and m2eclipse to get it into Eclipse.
> Once compiled, simpy run "bin/rest_cassandra" and follow along in the
> README.txt
