Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-2478: --------------------------------------------- bq. It appears as though there is no addition to the cassandra-clientutils jar (yet) to allow for client only access to the new transport libraries No, there is not. But we love contributions :) bq. Is there a plan to run the new native CQL protocol without the thrift libraries? Hell yeah. I intend to remove the thrift exceptions as part of CASSANDRA-3979 (it's not explicit from the ticket description but I think it would be a good occasion to do so). Making thrift needed only for the thrift is definitively a goal (at least one of mine). It's just that we do that incrementally. > Custom CQL protocol/transport > ----------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-2478 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2478 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: API, Core > Reporter: Eric Evans > Assignee: Sylvain Lebresne > Priority: Minor > Labels: cql > Fix For: 1.2 > > Attachments: cql_binary_protocol, cql_binary_protocol-v2 > > > 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).
