Aleksey Yeschenko commented on CASSANDRA-8358:
----------------------------------------------
Force pushed another updated (and squashed) version to the same branch -
https://github.com/iamaleksey/cassandra/commits/8358. It adds some more cleanup
on top of Philip's, in particular some around SSTableLoader.Client
implementations, but it's still far from clean - because of original code
dirtiness.
Things that need fixing:
- NativeSSTableLoaderClient must support connecting over SSL. This is a
regression - the original code did support this.
- NSSTLC TalbeMetadata to CFMetaData code is broken. I think we should, for
now, do the ugly thing and reimplement what sstableloader was doing, and SELECT
stuff from schema table manually, then do the equivalent of
{{ThriftConversion.fromThriftCqlRow()}} call, now unused.
> Bundled tools shouldn't be using Thrift API

> Key: CASSANDRA-8358
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8358
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Aleksey Yeschenko
> Assignee: Philip Thompson
> Fix For: 3.0
>
>
> In 2.1, we switched cqlsh to the python-driver.
> In 3.0, we got rid of cassandra-cli.
> Yet there is still code that's using legacy Thrift API. We want to convert it
> all to use the java-driver instead.
> 1. BulkLoader uses Thrift to query the schema tables. It should be using
> java-driver metadata APIs directly instead.
> 2. o.a.c.hadoop.cql3.CqlRecordWriter is using Thrift
> 3. o.a.c.hadoop.ColumnFamilyRecordReader is using Thrift
> 4. o.a.c.hadoop.AbstractCassandraStorage is using Thrift
> 5. o.a.c.hadoop.pig.CqlStorage is using Thrift
> Some of the things listed above use Thrift to get the list of partition key
> columns or clustering columns. Those should be converted to use the Metadata
> API of the java-driver.
> Somewhat related to that, we also have badly ported code from Thrift in
> o.a.c.hadoop.cql3.CqlRecordReader (see fetchKeys()) that manually fetches
> columns from schema tables instead of properly using the driver's Metadata
> API.
> We need all of it fixed. One exception, for now, is
> o.a.c.hadoop.AbstractColumnFamilyInputFormat - it's using Thrift for its
> describe_splits_ex() call that cannot be currently replaced by any
> java-driver call (?).
> Once this is done, we can stop starting Thrift RPC port by default in
> cassandra.yaml.
