Eric Evans commented on CASSANDRA-3380: --------------------------------------- {quote} Acceptance is certainly not a deal breaker. Like you said, this code solves our needs and we'll continue to extend it. I can throw it out into an open source project to see if it sticks. Any preferred forum for that project? {quote} We recently moved drivers to external projects maintained on Apache Extras (http://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/hosting). We put them there mostly for branding purposes. Other than that, I'd stick with whatever works best and/or is easiest for you. {quote} (One final note that I posted today to the user list; we could potentially use this REST layer as an integration point for Elastic Search, much the way CouchDB integrated as a river, http://www.elasticsearch.org/tutorials/2010/08/01/couchb-integration.html. We may try to head that way depending on what is available in DataStax Enterprise. I'll let you guys know if that manifests itself.) {quote} Sure. Enabling a new and interesting use-case would also be a great validator. > 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.
