Brian ONeill commented on CASSANDRA-3380:
-----------------------------------------
As for "Does it belong integrated?"...
I agree. As it stands, the elementary interface that is implemented thus far
hides some of the rich types, but I would expect that we would continue to
enhance the layer to provide access to those rich types and it would end up
much like how SOLR exposes the underlying features and functions of Lucene via
its REST interface.
As for demand, I think there is significant interest; enough to spawn up
projects:
http://code.google.com/p/restish/
https://github.com/stinkymatt/Helena
http://www.onemanclapping.org/2010/09/restful-cassandra.html
https://github.com/gdusbabek/cassandra
I think these are good, but the development is fragmented and is not native.
(the first two use Hector I believe)
By pulling the effort into the main tree, we can increase the size of the
community and consolidate the effort behind it.

> 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
