I agree, I had more than filter results in mind. Though I had envisioned the results to continue to use the List<ColumnOrSuperColumn> (and not JSON). You could still create new result columns that do not in any way exist in Cassandra, and you could still stuff JSON in to any of result columns.
I had envisioned: list<ColumnOrSuperColumn> get_slice(keyspace, key, column_parent, predicate, consistency_level, javascript_blob ) -JD On Thu, May 27, 2010 at 5:01 PM, Jake Luciani <jak...@gmail.com> wrote: > I've secretly started working on this but nothing to show yet :( I'm > calling it SliceDiceReduce or SliceReduce. > > The plan is to use the js thrift bindings I've added for 0.3 release of > thrift (out very soon?) > > This will allow the supplied js to access the results like any other thrift > client. > > Adding a new verb handler and SEDA stage that will execute on a local node > and pass this nodes slice data into the supplied js "dice" function via the > thrift js bindings. > > The resulting js from each node would then be passed into another supplied > js reduce function on the starting node. > > The result of this would then return a single JSON or string result.
