Eric Evans commented on CASSANDRA-3380: --------------------------------------- {quote} If I were going to do it, I'd do it the way CQL does, which is to use the to/fromString methods to attempt to parse the json string as what the schema says it should be. {quote} Right, my point was that once you've built out the client code to introspect Cassandra's schema and marshal to string and back again, the curl examples stop looking so straightforward, and "understanding http + json" isn't good enough anymore. > REST Layer > ----------- > > 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 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
