Thanks for your reply, problem is solved. First, I missunderstood the
modify-keyspace param and then I just missed the fact that I can do simply:
test.<rw>=operator
without any wildcards or so. I even tried this solution before and -
after looking into the source code - I was sure it just has to work, but
it failed baceuse of some other, unrelated error in our app, which I
missed before.
AFAIK the SimpleAuthenticator, and to some degree authentication (?), has been
essentially deprecated as it was considered incomplete and was not under
development. This is why the SimpleAuthenticator was moved out to the examples
directory in 1.X. I doubt it will be dropped, but (again AFIK) it is not under
active development.
Yup, I know it. But we do not use it as a main way of securing our data
or so - we just want to (1) separate the access from different parts of
the system using different users for them and (2) protect ourselves from
accidental writes to improper keyspaces or so. Thus we don't need it to
be working perfectly - I'd say it's a bit like Windows95 login prompt,
which could be closed with Esc button ;) Anyway, even if we threat this
way, we need it to use it comfortably, so it would be a problem for us
to change SimpleAuthenticator to AllowAllAuthority in cassandra.yaml
every time we create/update CF's :)
Anyway, it works now and thanks for your reply :)
