Vijay commented on CASSANDRA-1311:
----------------------------------
I pushed the initial version of triggers to
https://github.com/Vijay2win/cassandra/tree/1311 for a review...
1) User can implement Itriggers and drop the jar into $CASSANDRA_HOME/triggers
2) Patch implements a custom Class loader, which will load the classes in an
order, it first looks for the trigger classes in triggers Directory and if it
cannot find the required classes needed to complete the the operation
(iTrigger.agument) it looks for the class in the parent Class loader.
* This buys us 2 things, user can drop all his dependencies in the directory
(kind of sandboxed).
3) Every time we want to load a new jar, a new CustomCL will be loaded and the
old one is left for GC (So classes associated with the old CL can be freed up).
* This should help a bit in avoiding OOM in the perm gen.
4) Batches with contains both batches and Counters will throw an exception,
because the MutateAtomic is not allowed on counters anyways...
5) Currently there is a JMX to load the new jars and we also watch triggers
directory every minute to looking for new JAR's, I am inclined to removing the
watch part for safety and let the user call the JMX.
TODO: Need to write more test cases.... Working on it.

> Asynchronous triggers is a basic mechanism to implement various use cases of
> asynchronous execution of application code at database side. For example to
> support indexes and materialized views, online analytics, push-based data
> propagation.
> Please find the motivation, triggers description and list of applications:
