---------------------------------------
Summary: Migrate https://github.com/jeffwidman/cqlsh to be part of
Cassandra core
Key: CASSANDRA-18654
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-18654
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Jeff Widman
Myself and [~bschoeni] currently maintain https://github.com/jeffwidman/cqlsh
which repackages the CQLSH from Cassandra it into a standalone Python package
that is published to https://pypi.org/project/cqlsh/ for lighter-weight
installs.
Given that our project is simply a build/packaging project, we wanted start a
conversation about upstreaming this into core Cassandra.
We don't have any differences from the CQLSH source that's in cassandra,
instead we point all contributors to contribute back to the Cassandra project.
In fact we've made multiple contributions back to `cqlsh` ourselves and have
drastically cleaned up the code:
https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aapache%2Fcassandra%20is%3Apr%20author%3Ajeffwidman%20author%3Abschoening&type=pullrequests
Our goal:
When a Cassandra release happens, the build/release process automatically
publishes cqlsh to https://pypi.org/project/cqlsh/
We realize the Cassandra team isn't python/PyPI experts, so we'd be more than
happy to help wire this up and maintain it.
Our one hesitation around this discussion is that we're a little concerned that
we might lose the nimbleness we've currently got from having a separate
project. Ie, if something is screwed up on PyPI / the build process, we can
quickly get it fixed and get a new release out so that users aren't blocked.
Would it be possible as part of this process to continue that myself/Brad had
commit rights to the build process for PyPI? To be clear, we aren't asking for
commit rights to the Java code or anything outside of Python, we just want to
be sure that if we go to the trouble of working with you to upstream this that
there's a commitment from Cassandra to keeping this build working, or to
letting us be able to fix the build. Otherwise there's no point in upstreaming
it only for it to go unmaintained and us look on helplessly from the sidelines.
We're very flexible here on the solution.
Thoughts?
