Realize that there will be more and more new features that come along as
cassandra matures. It is an overwhelming certainty that these feature will be
available thru the new native interface & CQL. The same level of certainty
can't be given to Thrift. Certainly if you have existing applications running
against Thrift, then there is no need to worry that Thrift will break or not
perform optimally in the future. But going forward, there will be things that
you won't be able to use thru Thrift that may solve problems for you. If you
are starting now, the recommendation is to use the new native interface and
CQL.Just saying... ----- Original Message -----From: "Peter Lin"
