Ted Zlatanov commented on CASSANDRA-547:
----------------------------------------
It's hard to produce a useful auth backend when I'm spending all of my
available time on patches and fixing Thrift errors. Also, this is stage 1, see
at the beginning for the goals. I want to be sure we're OK with the design
before I implement the backend. I'll get you the revised patches, as
incrementals as you requested.
I don't want to work against the old Thrift. Backporting is possible but I
don't see the point, since Thrift is not going back to the old version.
Keyspace + login fixes are coming. I have them but dropped them in the patch
by accident.
