Jon Hermes commented on CASSANDRA-2500:
---------------------------------------
The drivers should be tested functionally the same as the cli is currently.
Ideally all the drivers, client libs, etc. should be hooked into a distributed
testing framework, but for now it should be valid to just make sure it does the
right thing on a single node system.
Regarding packaging and mixing in with the ruby cassandra gem (in this case), I
see good reasons to both combine the gems and to keep them seperate:
In the latter case, it's as jbellis pointed out, we don't want to confuse
people about which gem they need for a certain feature set (there's little
overlap in the usage between this and the ruby cassandra gem). Also, it's
possible to commit this to trunk, whereas client libs have historically been
kept out of the repo.
In the former, and from a dev perspective, there is a TON of reused code
between the ruby cassandra gem and this driver, as there is likewise a TON of
reused code between pycassa and the python cql driver. It would be nice to
combine them/depend on them just for sanity purposes, and because it would
force both gems/libs to be kept up to date and to be generally better.
Overall I'd call it an executive call, and it appears one has already been made.
