I'm sorry but I disagree. When you open a ticket on this JIRA, you're not
really in "scratching my own itch in my own backyard" territory anymore, you're
saying "I'm suggesting this for the Cassandra project".{quote}
Apache has countless documents and guides on this. There is no official
language on not developing new thrift features. In fact you pointed out CAS
which was just added to thrift. The only words I have hear is that "thrift
support" is "not going anywhere". Now your trying to bend this interpretation
to mean "thrift can only have features that CQL has" or "thrift can only have
features if I feel like supporting them".
If this is how cassandra is going to be run then close the ticket. I'm out. I'd
done. Seriously.
> Create wide row scanners

> Key: CASSANDRA-6704

> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: New Feature

> The BigTable white paper demonstrates the use of scanners to iterate over
> rows and columns.
> http://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.com/en/us/archive/bigtable-osdi06.pdf
> Because Cassandra does not have a primary sorting on row keys scanning over
> ranges of row keys is less useful.
> However we can use the scanner concept to operate on wide rows. For example
> many times a user wishes to do some custom processing inside a row and does
> not wish to carry the data across the network to do this processing.
> I have already implemented thrift methods to compile dynamic groovy code into
> Filters as well as some code that uses a Filter to page through and process
> data on the server side.
> https://github.com/edwardcapriolo/cassandra/compare/apache:trunk...trunk
> The following is a working code snippet.
> {code}
> @Test
> public void test_scanner() throws Exception
> {
> ColumnParent cp = new ColumnParent();
> cp.setColumn_family("Standard1");
> ByteBuffer key = ByteBuffer.wrap("rscannerkey".getBytes());
> for (char a='a'; a < 'g'; a++){
> Column c1 = new Column();
> c1.setName((a+"").getBytes());
> c1.setValue(new byte [0]);
> c1.setTimestamp(System.nanoTime());
> server.insert(key, cp, c1, ConsistencyLevel.ONE);
> }
>
> FilterDesc d = new FilterDesc();
> d.setSpec("GROOVY_CLASS_LOADER");
> d.setName("limit3");
> d.setCode("import org.apache.cassandra.dht.* \n" +
> "import org.apache.cassandra.thrift.* \n" +
> "public class Limit3 implements SFilter { \n " +
> "public FilterReturn filter(ColumnOrSuperColumn col,
> List<ColumnOrSuperColumn> filtered) {\n"+
> " filtered.add(col);\n"+
> " return filtered.size()< 3 ? FilterReturn.FILTER_MORE :
> FilterReturn.FILTER_DONE;\n"+
> "} \n" +
> "}\n");
> server.create_filter(d);
>
>
> ScannerResult res = server.create_scanner("Standard1", "limit3", key,
> ByteBuffer.wrap("a".getBytes()));
> Assert.assertEquals(3, res.results.size());
> }
> {code}
> I am going to be working on this code over the next few weeks but I wanted to
> get the concept our early so the design can see some criticism.
