Matthew F. Dennis commented on CASSANDRA-3643:
----------------------------------------------
I agree that C (and C++) access to Cassandra is pretty lacking at the moment.
The problems you mention with thrift+c is part of the reason for that: any C
driver for Cassandra would have to run over thrift (though the burden would be
all the driver devs, not everyone who wants to use C and Cassandra together).
Even for CQL though, a C driver will still be communicating via thrift and
having to deal with all the ... eccentricities that come along with it.

> Key: CASSANDRA-3643
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3643
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: Drivers
> Affects Versions: 1.0.6
> Environment: all
> Reporter: Vlad Paiu
> Priority: Blocker
> Labels: C, cql, driver
>
> It's really a shame that such a great project like Cassandra doesn't support
> a way for it to be used from within a C application.
> Thrift has never worked for C or it is very poorly documented. Either way,
> integrating Cassandra with an application written in C is just not possible
> in an elegant manner at the current moment in time.
> With the development of CQL, it would really be great if one could run CQL
> commands from within a C library, very much like libmysqlclient.
