So, for 185, I have a half-assed CQL update that at least keeps it working for ascii data.
Once that's in, for 296 I propose that we proceed with the remove, and since it will be a clean remove in svn history it will be easy for Edward or anyone else to revert and work on locally. When progress is made and CQL sucks less then we can resurrect it in trunk. The thread in -user this morning where someone's seriously trying to use CQL scares the hell out of me because it is NOT ready for that yet, even pre-185. Let's remove the temptation until it's no longer a Very Bad Idea for people to be using it. :) -Jonathan On Wed, Jul 15, 2009 at 7:15 PM, Edward Ribeiro<edward.ribe...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am particularly interested on query languages, and CQL would be nice > thing work on since I put on indefinite hold my previous suggestion to > cassandra (the RESTful client interface).
