Ted Zlatanov commented on CASSANDRA-547:
----------------------------------------
I left the libthrift upgrade out of my patches, but it's probably a good idea
to do it as some point.
There are two patches, the auth one is a superset of the thrift one.
ThriftGlue has one (IMHO) nice feature: it lets us create ColumnOrSuperColumn
objects with the explicit inclination to contain a Column or a SuperColumn.
The old way was less readable.
I remove the style changes for the useless else clauses.
I made ConsistencyLevel go all the way down the stack and changed the variable
name to consistencyLevel while I was there, to be consistent (ha ha) with the
other parameter names. There is one place where the int value is used to check
enum superiority, but overall it looks and works better I think.
Let me know if all of this looks good. It's a real PITA to keep patching so I
hope we're close to done.
