Brian ONeill commented on CASSANDRA-3380:
-----------------------------------------
Hmmm....
I hadn't looked at Riak much until you sent that link out last night. Looking
at what they provide over HTTP, it is a pretty powerful, especially around the
Map/Reduce capabilities:
http://wiki.basho.com/MapReduce.html
Maybe there is an opportunity here to deliver the same kinds of capabilities on
top of Cassandra?
It would be really slick if we could sling a PIG script at a URL and have it
result in new column families or updated data in Cassandra.
If we were looking to get rid of the contrib directory, maybe we carve off
rest+pig+hadoop capabilities into its own project. That project would provide
services on top of Cassandra exposed via REST. (again.. very similar to what
SOLR provided for Lucene for a long time, until they merged)

> 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
