Aleksey Yeschenko commented on CASSANDRA-4924: ---------------------------------------------- +1 > Make CQL 3 data accessible via thrift. > -------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-4924 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4924 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Core > Affects Versions: 1.2.0 beta 1 > Reporter: amorton > Assignee: Jonathan Ellis > Labels: cli, cql > Fix For: 1.2.0 rc1 > > > Following the changes from CASSANDRA-4377 data created using CQL 3 is not > visible via the thrift interface. > This goes against the spirit of many comments by the project that "the thrift > API is not going away". These statements and ones such as "Internally, both > CQL3 and thrift use the same storage engine, so all future improvements to > this engine will impact both of them equally." > (http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/thrift-to-cql3) and the CQL3 and thrift > examples given here > http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/cql3-for-cassandra-experts gave the > impression CQL 3 was a layer on top of the core storage engine. It now > appears to be an incompatible format change. > It makes it impossible to explain to existing using users how CQL 3 stores > it's data. > It also creates an all or nothing approach to trying CQL 3. > My request is to make all data written by CQL 3 readable via the thrift API. > An example of using the current 1.2 trunk is below: > {noformat} > cqlsh:cass_college> CREATE TABLE UserTweets > ... ( > ... tweet_id bigint, > ... user_name text, > ... body text, > ... timestamp timestamp, > ... PRIMARY KEY (user_name, tweet_id) > ... ); > cqlsh:cass_college> INSERT INTO > ... UserTweets > ... (tweet_id, body, user_name, timestamp) > ... VALUES > ... (1, 'The Tweet', 'fred', 1352150816917); > cqlsh:cass_college> > cqlsh:cass_college> > cqlsh:cass_college> select * from UserTweets; > user_name | tweet_id | body | timestamp > -----------+----------+-----------+-------------------------- > fred | 1 | The Tweet | 2012-11-06 10:26:56+1300 > {noformat} > and in the CLI > {noformat} > [default@cass_college] show schema; > create keyspace cass_college > with placement_strategy = 'SimpleStrategy' > and strategy_options = {replication_factor : 3} > and durable_writes = true; > use cass_college; > [default@cass_college] list UserTweets; > UserTweets not found in current keyspace. > [default@cass_college] > {noformat} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
