Ted Zlatanov commented on CASSANDRA-547:
----------------------------------------
the latest auth patch, as suggested on cassandra-users, offers just one method:
void login(String keyspace, Map<String, String> credentials)
The AllowAllAuthenticator, as before, simply allows any login and is intended
to show the default usage.
The patch is based on a 2009-12-29 checkout. It also fixes the Thrift
constructors by introducing a ThriftGlue convenience factory class, which IMHO
is the best way to keep source code concise if the optional parameters can't be
specified inline.
Finally, I made a few style fixes, where return or continue were used in the if
clause, so the else was redundant.
