I can't imagine anyone using Cassandra on public IP address space i.e. without a firewall. It's the same use-case as memcached, which also has no authentication or security. The thrift protocol could in principle use a username/password I guess - I imagine that the reason that it doesn't is that Facebook have never required one. Mark
