Edward Capriolo commented on CASSANDRA-6147:
--------------------------------------------
I see. Just not having to generate the timestamps would be useful anyway.
> Break timestamp ties for thrift-ers

> Key: CASSANDRA-6147
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6147
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Reporter: Edward Capriolo

> Fix For: 2.1

>
> Thrift users are still forced to generate timestamps on the client side.
> Currently the way the thrift bindings are generated users are forced to
> supply timestamps. There are two solutions I see.
> * -1 as timestamp means "generate on the server side"
> This is a breaking change, for those using -1 as a timestamp (which should
> effectively be no one.
> * Prepare yourself....
> Our thrift signatures are wrong, you can't overload methods in thrift
> thrift.get(byte [], byte[], ts)
> should REALLY be changed to
> GetRequest g = new GetRequest()
> g.setName()
> g.setValue()
> g.setTs() ///optional
> thrift. get( g )
> I know no one is going to want to make this change because thrift is
> quasi/dead but it would allow us to evolve thrift in a meaningful way. We
> could simple add these new methods under different names as well.
