Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-3507:
-------------------------------------------
bq. I read through all the rules I can find, and I see nothing prohibiting us
from voting on and "releasing" specific source/binary artifacts of the various
cql drivers alongside c*, as long as they follow the ASF licensing restrictions.
Really? It feels weird to have a PMC vote on artifacts for something they
don't develop. (While there is overlap between the python cql driver and our
PMC, it's not entirely the same thing and it's likely to diverge further in the
future, or at least that was the idea of hosting drivers out of tree.)
> Proposal: separate cqlsh from CQL drivers
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-3507
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3507
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Packaging, Tools
> Affects Versions: 1.0.3
> Environment: Debian-based systems
> Reporter: paul cannon
> Assignee: paul cannon
> Priority: Blocker
> Labels: cql, cqlsh
> Fix For: 1.0.7
>
>
> Whereas:
> * It has been shown to be very desirable to decouple the release cycles of
> Cassandra from the various client CQL drivers, and
> * It is also desirable to include a good interactive CQL client with releases
> of Cassandra, and
> * It is not desirable for Cassandra releases to depend on 3rd-party software
> which is neither bundled with Cassandra nor readily available for every
> target platform, but
> * Any good interactive CQL client will require a CQL driver;
> Therefore, be it resolved that:
> * cqlsh will not use an official or supported CQL driver, but will include
> its own private CQL driver, not intended for use by anything else, and
> * the Cassandra project will still recommend installing and using a proper
> CQL driver for client software.
> To ease maintenance, the private CQL driver included with cqlsh may very well
> be created by "copying the python CQL driver from one directory into
> another", but the user shouldn't rely on this. Maybe we even ought to take
> some minor steps to discourage its use for other purposes.
> Thoughts?
