[jira] [Commented] (GORA-497) Migrate CassandraThrift to CQL

[JIRA]

Renato Javier Marroquín Mogrovejo commented on GORA-497:


I started some work on a private branch

https://github.com/renato2099/gora/tree/GORA-497

My idea is that we should have more serialization types other than AVRO for 
Cassandra. Because even though storing everything as bytes might get us some 
benefit, it might not be the case anymore as Cassandra has improved a lot since 
the days we used Hector, and that storing everything as bytes makes the CQL 
feature useless for users. So we should have Cassandra serialization on as 
well. I created the skeleton of this on the branch. If you want to start 
working on this [~madhawa] I'd be happy to collaborate and try to get ready for 
GSoC later on.
Thanks!

Re: [Cassandra Store] Need to migrate to CQL Interface

[Renato Marroquín Mogrovejo]

Hey guys,

Sorry for the late reply, but I am writing on the jira page so we can keep
track of this over there.
But if you can take this on Madhawa, it'd be great! :)


Best,

Renato M.
