here's the thing, though, and this is a main reason why cassandra keeps things simple: doing work on the client typically results in *less* load on the server. > FWIW I'd like an entirely text-based query language like SQL I think this is a non-starter. It's pretty clear that the way forward is towards more programmatic apis, not clients translating their requests to strings which the server then parses. -Jonathan
