Hey everyone, A while back I started https://github.com/jsanda/cassandra-operator in an effort to move things forward. One of my primary goals was to get some people contributing. That did not happen, which is understandable. I am going to throw out some questions and would love to get feedback, particularly from people who have been participating in the SIG and/or are involved with relevant projects.
* Should we continue down the path of trying to build a common operator project? If yes, how should we proceed? * Should we broaden the focus to using and running Cassandra in Kubernetes in general? CEP 2 Kubernetes Operator <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CASSANDRA/CEP-2+Kubernetes+Operator> says that its motivation is to make it easy to run Cassandra on Kubernetes. Having an operator is definitely a big part of that, but it is not the only part. There are important areas like application development, data migration, multi-region / multi-cloud clusters, and tooling integration to name a few. I think that the community benefits from collaboration regardless of whether or not there is a common operator. That is not to suggest that a common operator would not be good. I do not necessarily see it as a zero sum game where it has to be a common operator or nothing. Thanks - John
