Eric Evans commented on CASSANDRA-2478:
---------------------------------------

I haven't had a chance to do much more than skim through the code, but it looks 
great so far; Nice work

One suggestion I'd like to throw out there though, is that we use this as an 
opportunity to get rid of our custom authentication/authorization, and add 
hooks for SASL instead.  This isn't a wheel we should have reinvented 
ourselves, and SASL would provide a simple means of integrating with a lot of 
different systems.

> A custom wire protocol would give us the flexibility to optimize for our 
> specific use-cases, and eliminate a troublesome dependency (I'm referring to 
> Thrift, but none of the others would be significantly better).  Additionally, 
> RPC is bad fit here, and we'd do better to move in the direction of something 
> that natively supports streaming.
> I don't think this is as daunting as it might seem initially.  Utilizing an 
> existing server framework like Netty, combined with some copy-and-paste of 
> bits from other FLOSS projects would probably get us 80% of the way there.
