-------------------------------------------
Summary: Consider allowing clients to make the Paging State
available to users
Key: CASSANDRA-7129
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7129
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: API
Reporter: Michaël Figuière
This is a follow up to a ticket that has been opened on the DataStax Java
Driver JIRA (https://datastax-oss.atlassian.net/browse/JAVA-323).
Currently the Paging State is described as an internal data structure that
might change in any upcoming version. As a consequence it isn't safe to make it
available to users of the Cassandra Drivers.
It would be and interesting feature to work on making Cassandra safe against
all the situation that might happen after unleashing paging states in the wild
on the client side: they could end up being included in some web cookies,
allowing malicious users to forge some, we might also have some compatibility
issues as some paging states might come back to Cassandra after an upgrade of
the cluster,...
If the discussion in this ticket turns out to conclude that the paging state
SHOULD NOT be made available to users, at least it will be a clarification of
something that was mostly implicit (AFAIK) so far.
