Brian ONeill commented on CASSANDRA-3380:
-----------------------------------------
One last point.... (then I'll shut up ;)
We are literally trying to decide between CouchDB and Cassandra by Monday.
Because CouchDB has a REST interface, we had it integrated into our application
in hours. But we *love* Cassandra, and the hadoop/pig integration potential.
But for obvious reasons, I'd like to avoid deploying/supporting/maintaining
both if I can.
If Cassandra had a REST layer, we'd have "one database to rule them all" and
we'd be able to pick our interface mechanism depending on who/what needed to
operate on and access the data. The web front-end could come in through REST,
while the backend services use Pig/Hadoop to do the heavy lifting.

> 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
