Edward Capriolo commented on CASSANDRA-1278:
--------------------------------------------
I definitely agree that having a 100% pure cassandra way to do this is good. I
would personally like to see a JMX function like 'nodetool addsstable
mykeyspace mycf mysstable-file' . Most people can generating and move an
SSTable on their own (sstableWriter +scp) . Those people only need a way to
alert cassandra about new SSTables in the data directory. Doing that is a
subset of the work needed to find a way to stream it.

> 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.
