Exactly, yes. > Would it require any changes in public API or core? Not that I'm currently aware of. It may require a few specifics when it comes to connecting to the cluster (Cassandra is designed to be distributed, so instead of one host, you'd list a number of different hosts to which the queries can be dispatched, multiple connections could be created, etc), but that part can already be back-end specific, if I'm not mistaken. Regardless of the above, if I can not find a way to make CQL support in SOCI painless (as in, requiring changes to the core or the API), then it completely defeats the purpose of introducing CQL support to SOCI :). However, from what I can tell (I'm hardly a Cassandra expert myself), having Cassandra support in SOCI would benefit me massively, as moving data from one type of DB to another is exactly what I have to do. > I don't have time to learn about Cassandra/CQL, but personally > I'm generally very supportive to new features as long as 1) they > do not significantly affect existing codebase, 2) other developers > and major users don't object. I don't intend to put any burden on anyone but myself (and my company, if it is taken as a company project). I'd be glad to hear the feelings of others. -S. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Own the Future-Intel(R) Level Up Game Demo Contest 2013 Rise to greatness in Intel's independent game demo contest.
