Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-1315:
-------------------------------------------
reverted commit of 0001 after looking at CASSANDRA-1368 more.
I'm less and less convinced that we're going to move go Avro as our "main"
interface, and unless we are, we shouldn't be adding public dependencies on it.
I don't buy the argument that "Hadoop people already know Avro" because there's
basically nothing here that's a standard Hadoop Avro class, and using a Thrift
StreamingMutation class would be much the same as an Avro one.
> ColumnFamilyOutputFormat should use client API objects

>
> ColumnFamilyOutputFormat currently takes IColumns as its input, meaning that
> users need to understand Cassandra's internals reasonably well in order to
> use it, and need to hardcode things like the comparator type and clock type
> into their MapReduce jobs.
> Instead, CFOutputFormat should take either Thrift or Avro objects, which are
> familiar interfaces for users.
