Jeremiah Jordan commented on CASSPYTHON-29:
-------------------------------------------
[~bschoeni] I see nothing here inviting a backdoor, it is inviting people to
add custom tags to their connections that they can do analytics on if they want.
Also the server side accepts the arbitrary map, whether the python driver
exposes it by default or not.
Because of this nothing stops someone from sending extra things without the
API, its pretty easy to add the ability yourself by checking out the driver,
updating it, and making a custom build, or even just monkey patching the main
driver.
Adding the custom map just exposes the functionality that the server already
has.
> Allow user to specify arbitrary parameters for STARTUP message

>
> Key: CASSPYTHON-29
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSPYTHON-29
> Project: Apache Cassandra Python driver
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Swathi Sekar
> Assignee: Bohdan Siryk
> Priority: Normal
> Fix For: 4.0.0
>
> Time Spent: 40m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Modify the driver to allow sending arbitrary STARTUP message options.
> Proposed design:
> - Add `extra_startup_options` param to Cluster constructor.
> - Thread it through Cluster -> connection setup (cluster.py) ->
> StartupMessage.
> - Define clear precedence/conflict behavior when duplicate/conflicting
> options are passed into the StartupMessage constructor.
> *Note:*
> This Jira was originally created for sending the client's application name
> and version as `APPLICATION_NAME` /
> `APPLICATION_VERSION` options in the STARTUP message, which is tied to the
> now-defunct DataStax Insights offering.
> Since the Java driver (5.0.0) and eventually C/C++ driver (3.0.0) are
> removing withApplicationName()/withApplicationVersion() entirely, this ticket
> has been updated.
