Brian ONeill commented on CASSANDRA-3380:
-----------------------------------------
I was originally going to maintain it as a separate project, before Gary
Dubasbek chimed in and pointed out that it is inefficient to deploy a separate
server (and use something like Hector) because you would end up marshaling the
document twice with an added hop.
That is when I decided to write this as a patch for the tree since it would
need to stay in lock-step with the CassandraServer object. (since the REST
calls would come into the same VM and make the calls in-thread/natively against
the java objects)
Ideally, this wouldn't remain in the contrib package. I think it would be
better to get it integrated into the main tree (as not to have mismatched
expectations). From the users perspective, I would expect to add an optional
configuration parameter in the yaml file that would start the REST server on
the specified port. when the parameter is defined.

> Key: CASSANDRA-3380
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3380
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Environment: Unix / Max OS X
> Reporter: Brian ONeill
> Attachments: trunk-3380.txt
>
>
> This is a native rest layer for Cassandra implementing
> AbstractCassandraDaemon.
> It uses JAX-RS fueled by Apache CXF.
> Presently it supports the following operations JSON over HTTP:
> - Create keyspace
> - Drop keyspace
> - Create column family
> - Drop column family
> - Insert row
> - Fetch row
> - Delete row
> - Insert column
> - Delete column
> - Fetch column
> The patch creates a new project in contrib/rest. You can compile the project
> using "ant", which uses ivy to pull in dependencies. To get setup, you can
> also use the pom.xml file and m2eclipse to get it into Eclipse.
> Once compiled, simpy run "bin/rest_cassandra" and follow along in the
> README.txt
