Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-2478:
---------------------------------------------
bq. It appears as though there is no addition to the cassandra-clientutils jar
(yet) to allow for client only access to the new transport libraries
No, there is not. But we love contributions :)
bq. Is there a plan to run the new native CQL protocol without the thrift
libraries?
Hell yeah. I intend to remove the thrift exceptions as part of CASSANDRA-3979
(it's not explicit from the ticket description but I think it would be a good
occasion to do so). Making thrift needed only for the thrift is definitively a
goal (at least one of mine). It's just that we do that incrementally.

> A custom wire protocol would give us the flexibility to optimize for our
> specific use-cases, and eliminate a troublesome dependency (I'm referring to
> Thrift, but none of the others would be significantly better). Additionally,
> RPC is bad fit here, and we'd do better to move in the direction of something
> that natively supports streaming.
> I don't think this is as daunting as it might seem initially. Utilizing an
> existing server framework like Netty, combined with some copy-and-paste of
> bits from other FLOSS projects would probably get us 80% of the way there.
