Gary Dusbabek commented on CASSANDRA-3380:
------------------------------------------
I think that if RESTful Cassandra has broad interest that it should belong in
the main tree. One of my reasons for giving it a try and writing a blog post
was to gauge the level interest. It turned out to be pretty low, so I didn't
pursue it.
I admit: the simplicity and accessibility of a REST interface appeals to me,
and I can see it being useful for some teams. Call me a closet REST fan. But
the same time, if this code were to go in the tree and not get a lot of love
(kind of like what we did with the experimental Avro transport) it would be bad.
I'd like to see a REST interface start life in Apache-extras (or github or
whatever). If it ends up being generally useful and maintained, I think it
will eventually find its way into the main tree.
The idea of using a REST interface as a way to spur adoption is somewhat
orthogonal to the idea of utility, IMO, but may be justified if that were an
aim of the project.

> 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
