Edward Capriolo commented on CASSANDRA-6846:
--------------------------------------------
The current prospective seems to be that ALL the code of cassandra is made to
serve only the CQL language. Everything is "INTERNAL". We should close this
issue no one is going to allow/support anything like this.
> Provide standard interface for deep application server integration

> Instead of creating a pluggable interface for Thrift, I'd like to create a
> pluggable interface for arbitrary app-server deep integration.
> Inspired by both the existence of intravert-ug, as well as there being a long
> history of various parties embedding tomcat or jetty servlet engines inside
> Cassandra, I'd like to propose the creation an internal somewhat stable
> (versioned?) interface that could allow any app server to achieve deep
> integration with Cassandra, and as a result, these servers could
> 1) host their own apis (REST, for example
> 2) extend core functionality by having limited (see triggers and wide row
> scanners) access to the internals of cassandra
> The hand wavey part comes because while I have been mulling this about for a
> while, I have not spent any significant time into looking at the actual
> surface area of intravert-ug's integration. But, using it as a model, and
> also keeping in minds the general needs of your more traditional servlet/j2ee
> containers, I believe we could come up with a reasonable interface to allow
> any jvm app server to be integrated and maintained in or out of the Cassandra
> tree.
> This would satisfy the needs that many of us (Both Ed and I, for example) to
> have a much greater degree of control over server side execution, and to be
> able to start building much more interestingly (and simply) tiered
> applications.
