Make bulk loading into Cassandra less crappy, more pluggable
------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-1278
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1278
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Jeremy Hanna
Fix For: 0.7
Currently bulk loading into Cassandra is a black art. People are either
directed to just do it responsibly with thrift or a higher level client, or
they have to explore the contrib/bmt example -
http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/BinaryMemtable That contrib module requires
delving into the code to find out how it works and then applying it to the
given problem. Using either method, the user also needs to keep in mind that
overloading the cluster is possible - which will hopefully be addressed in
CASSANDRA-685
This improvement would be to create a contrib module or set of documents
dealing with bulk loading. Perhaps it could include code in the Core to make
it more pluggable for external clients of different types.
It is just that this is something that many that are new to Cassandra need to
do - bulk load their data into Cassandra.
