It is straight forward to roll your own transport. Here is one such experiement I've done with Vert.x: https://github.com/zznate/intravert-ug A presentation regarding such: http://www.slideshare.net/zznate/intravert-atx-meetupcondensed An ApacheCon 2013 presentation I gave going over the different interface driver benefits: http://www.slideshare.net/zznate/apachecon-cassandra-transport I maintain we could not have this level of choice and architectural freedom with the clients under the control of the PMC.
