As a new user in a somewhat similar situation, I'd also like to add my
support for an interface with these properties as an option.

Also keep in mind that not all deployments of Cassandra are
performance-critical.
My current project is an integration/legacy MySQL replacement, so the
database is used as a system of record but not of (significant)
runtime. The read paths are fronted by caches with 97% hit rates. A
JSON http API would be more than performant enough, and ease the
integration path by not requiring a new component (Thrift) in the
client stack.
Having a quick time-to-production through easy integration is much
more important to us. Then, if production experience suggests that we
can remove some of the caches as a phase 2, we will worry about
transport performance.

+1 for Avro as something to watch and consider. I concur that
performance
and simplicity are the quintessential attributes to prioritize; for
me that
excludes code generation.
+1 for something simple like HTTP+JSON or line-based as an
interface of last
resort/debug.

pretty alpha.
I'm not really interested in stuff that's going to be Much Slower
like
anything over http (Jay from Voldemort said that's basically a waste
of time and I believe him) or anything that requires hand-writing
clients for each language (everything else?).

I wanted to start a small discussion to see if there is any
interest
in supporting alternative wire protocols or perhaps junking
Thrift to
some degree.
Some options:
* Use JSON over HTTP
* Use BSON over...something (http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/BSON
)
* Use ASN.1 over...something
* Use Protocol Buffers over...something
* Use Thrift, but package Cassandra-specific clients for each
language
I have not thought too coherently about this but generic Thrift
seems
to be a pain point for everybody.
