Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-2478:
---------------------------------------------
bq. Here, I mean automated protocol test using SimpleClient in unit test.
Oh ok. I was confused because the CliTest itself won't work (and will never)
with the native protocol since it's completely thrift related. But yes, having
some unit test can never hurt. Another avenue for tests will be to update the
python cql driver to use the native transport, and then we'll be able to reuse
the dtests (which have quite a bunch of CQL tests).
bq. @Yuki I think everything is ok.. Let me do a final review cycle today again
Ok. I will commit to trunk. We can always commit improvements later anyway
(Norman: if you do spot some minor things, do feel free to comment on that
ticket directly (or on github), even if it's closed, and I'll commit the
changes).

> 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.
