Brian ONeill commented on CASSANDRA-3380:
-----------------------------------------
I can appreciate that perspective. When I first posted the thought of a REST
layer to the dev list, Gary immediately responded with his thoughts and Jeremy
asked I respond to the list when I had something. Based on their responses and
Matt's link to his Helena project, I may have overestimated the demand/need.
I'll reach out to Gary to get his input, but I don't mind letting this JIRA
issue brew for a while to see if there is interest.
Acceptance is certainly not a deal breaker. Like you said, this code solves
our needs and we'll continue to extend it. I can throw it out into an open
source project to see if it sticks. Any preferred forum for that project?
(One final note that I posted today to the user list; we could potentially use
this REST layer as an integration point for Elastic Search, much the way
CouchDB integrated as a river,
http://www.elasticsearch.org/tutorials/2010/08/01/couchb-integration.html. We
may try to head that way depending on what is available in DataStax Enterprise.
I'll let you guys know if that manifests itself.)

> 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
