Re: REST API?
To give everyone an update... I was able to take what Gary had and update it to run on trunk. I like the native integration, as opposed to layering it on top of Hector. It's working out well. I layered in JAX-RS to replace the hand parsing of the url, and the handlers. I have reads and writes working through the StorageProxy, but I think I'm going to raise it up one layer to take advantage of ThriftValidations. (but still using direct method invocation instead of the thift client) I added unit tests for the read/write of columns. I'm going to add a few other operations (add/drop keyspace, add/drop CF). Then it should be in a state where I can share it. -brian On Mon, Oct 10, 2011 at 10:06 PM, Jeremy Hanna wrote: > Brian, > > If you end up doing something with the rest api and making it > available/open source, please post again either here or on the user list.

There are no plans to move to Maven for 2 reasons: 1) a majority of committers favour Ant; 2) if it aint broke, don't fix it. On 11 October 2011 03:33, Brian O'Neill wrote: > Will do.

Re: REST API?
Will do. I've picked up where Gary left off. It is good starting point, with a good mapping between REST and get/set/mutations. (kudos to Gary) I'll update it to accomodate any changes and see if I can add some tests on top of it. I may look to add in JAX-RS (on either Jersey or Apache CXF). We use it for all of our REST services, and it may provide a good abstraction layer that we can build on. Give me a couple days. I have to get back into the "ant mentality". I've been doing maven too long. BTW -- Does anyone know if there are plans to move to maven?

Re: REST API?
For Usergrid, we use Jersey (http://jersey.java.net/), the Sun implementation of JAX-RS, which makes use of Jackson (http://wiki.fasterxml.com/JacksonHome) for the JSON marshalling. I'd heartily recommend using those if you're going to roll your own REST implementation in Java. If you're looking for a very high level REST API, you might want to look at Usergrid (http://github.com/usergrid/stack). We're abstracting away the underlying Cassandra representation to a pretty high degree, but it might be useful depending on what you're trying to do.

Re: REST API?
Brian, If you end up doing something with the rest api and making it available/open source, please post again either here or on the user list. I think others would be interested and may contribute to it. Cheers, Jeremy On Oct 10, 2011, at 8:42 PM, Brian O'Neill wrote: > Thanks Gary. Perfect.

Re: REST API?
Thanks Gary. Perfect. Checking it out now. Performance isn't much of a concern for us through the REST interface. We are using the Hadoop/PIG integration to do the heavy lifting. This will be mostly for reads and small number of writes. I'll definitely give this a try. Thanks again. I'll let you know how it turns out. -brian On Mon, Oct 10, 2011 at 9:35 PM, Gary Dusbabek wrote: > It turns out that it is pretty easy (or it was a year ago) to replace > the native Cassandra transport with your own.

Re: REST API?
It turns out that it is pretty easy (or it was a year ago) to replace the native Cassandra transport with your own. I wrote about it on my blog (http://www.onemanclapping.org/2010/09/restful-cassandra.html), using REST as an example.

REST API?
My team desperately needs a REST API for Cassandra. I saw the following: http://code.google.com/p/restish/ from http://crlog.info/2011/01/29/restish-wrapper-for-hectorcassandra-data-manipulation/ But it appears to have little activity and documentation. That lead me to start work on a contrib/rest module, but before I get to far I wanted to ask if there was any effort underway for a REST Server/API. If not, I'll continue developing the REST server. Any preference for a REST stack? (JAX-RS on Apache-CXF? Raw Servlets? Netty? etc.) Until I hear back, I'll continue with the JAX-RS / Apache CXF implementation I have cooking. -brian -- Brian ONeill Lead Architect, Health Market Science (http://healthmarketscience.com) mobile:215.588.6024 blog: http://weblogs.java.net/blog/boneill42/ blog: http://brianoneill.blogspot.com/
