A good portion of people and traffic on this list is questions about: 1) asytnax 2) cassandra-jdbc 3) cassandra native client 3) pyhtondra / whatever
With the exception of the native transport which is only half way part of Cassandra, none of the these other client issues have much to do with core cassandra at all. If someone authors a client library/driver/etc they should be supporting it outside of the user@cassandra mailing list. My suggestion: At minimum we should re-route these questions to client-dev or simply say, "If it is not part of core Cassandra, you are looking in the wrong place for support" Edward
