Re: Cassandra Java Driver and DataStax

The Apache Cassandra project has always left development of its drivers up to the community. The DataStax Java Driver is not part of the Apache Cassandra project, it is an open source project created by DataStax. You can find a large list of drivers for Cassandra here: https://wiki.apache.org

Re: Cassandra Java Driver and DataStax

> A key portion of your software’s stack, a client driver to use it, exists outside of Apache in separate communities. This is an inherent risk to the project. That's not at all obvious to me. The driver you're concerned about is not under ASF, but it is Apache licensed, if DataStax took it in a

Java Driver 3.0 for Apache Cassandra - Documentation Outdated?

Team, I was checking the documentation for TupleType in DataStax docs here and the code example was like this: TupleType theType = TupleType.of(DataType.cint(), DataType.text(), DataType.cfloat()); But in th

I’m happy to consult with my peers in other projects for the board report and summarize their ideas and Cassandra PMC's to improve contributor diversity. I’ll plan to attend the meeting in person to discuss this further. On Sun, Jun 5, 2016 at 5:33 PM, Mattmann, Chris A (3980) < chris.a.mattm...@

Re: Java Driver 3.0 for Apache Cassandra - Documentation Outdated?

Thanks for bringing this up, but the Java Driver is a separate project maintained here: https://github.com/datastax/java-driver with it's own mailing list: https://groups.google.com/a/lists.datastax.com/forum/#!forum/java-driver-user Documentation for the driver is also maintained by the communit

Re: Cassandra Java Driver and DataStax

Hi all, I work for Stratio, a software company not related with DataStax. We develop an implementation of C* secondary indexes based on Lucene ( https://github.com/Stratio/cassandra-lucene-index). This project started as a fork of Apache Cassandra including several Lucene features such as full-tex

Re: Cassandra Java Driver and DataStax

Thanks Jonathan. I have seen several people replying back and citing general technical benefits again to having different drivers hosted elsewhere. I have also seen people say, “well it’s ALv2 and open source, so people can fork it and blah and blah”. “Opensource” and “ALv2” don’t necessarily a

Re: Java Driver 3.0 for Apache Cassandra - Documentation Outdated?

Excellent, why am I the first person to ask that, and why didn’t a PMC member point that out right away and why did it take me asking to point to the Apache docs. This is what I am talking about in terms of the Apache community.. On 6/6/16, 4:47 PM, "Michael Kjellman" wrote: >http://cassand

Re: Java Driver 3.0 for Apache Cassandra - Documentation Outdated?

I think it comes down to having full time tech writers employed and paid. If Datastax has the $$ to provide a significant benefit to the community (well thought out documentation) that's better than little or no documentation (if it was only done via developers who most likely won't document or

Re: Java Driver 3.0 for Apache Cassandra - Documentation Outdated?

It’s not about whether DataStax has great documentation or not. That’s fine - it’s about the perception of the *first* place to look for that documentation. If someone came to Apache OODT, Nutch, Tika, Lucene, Spark, etc., and we had great documentation at JPL to go along with these, as a PMC me

Re: Cassandra Java Driver and DataStax

Hi Chris, On a similar note to what Andres mentioned, me and couple of other people have recently contributed index implementation (SASI), which significantly extends indexing capabilities of Apache Cassandra, and might be one of the biggest changes to the database in years. I'm a member

Gossip Behavioral Difference between C* 2.0 and C* 2.1

Hi, We recently discovered that there are some differences in gossip behavior between C* 2.0 and C* 2.1. In some cases of network instability or a node reboot, we can observe some behavioral differences from Cassandra/system.log. 2.0.17 We can observe this log of similar pattern in log : DEBUG
