I personally would love to see Cassandra add the concept of a read-

'fat client') but sits as a stand alone server. It would know the
the entire ring and watch Gossip and thus be able to direct requests
to the most appropriate node. This way thrift clients would just
connect to localhost, and it would in turn handle pooling and
balancing connections.
I agree that would be a very desirable feature; app servers could
have a local Cassandra node which handled cluster operations.
Certainly makes things easier.
It may also reduce network overhead as things could go directly to/
from the nodes they needed to rather than via a third node.
