I want to put this here for the record: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2995 There are some valid points in the above about increased surface area and end-user confusion. That said, just under six years is a long time. I think we are a more mature project now and I completely agree with others about the positive impacts of testability this would inherently provide. +1 from me. Dikang, thank you for opening this discussion and sharing your efforts so far.
