Nate McCall commented on CASSANDRA-6846:
----------------------------------------
In hacking on this stuff in the past, what I would like to see here is
something(s) wrapping a tighter API around:
- StorageProxy
- StorageService
- Schema
- MigrationManager
Probably missing a few things, but those are the immediate items. None of them
really move around to much, but having a contract on them or encapsulating them
would be ideal.
> Provide standard interface for deep application server integration

> Instead of creating a pluggable interface for Thrift, I'd like to create a
> pluggable interface for arbitrary app-server deep integration.
> Inspired by both the existence of intravert-ug, as well as there being a long
> history of various parties embedding tomcat or jetty servlet engines inside
> Cassandra, I'd like to propose the creation an internal somewhat stable
> (versioned?) interface that could allow any app server to achieve deep
> integration with Cassandra, and as a result, these servers could
> 1) host their own apis (REST, for example
> 2) extend core functionality by having limited (see triggers and wide row
> scanners) access to the internals of cassandra
> The hand wavey part comes because while I have been mulling this about for a
> while, I have not spent any significant time into looking at the actual
> surface area of intravert-ug's integration. But, using it as a model, and
> also keeping in minds the general needs of your more traditional servlet/j2ee
> containers, I believe we could come up with a reasonable interface to allow
> any jvm app server to be integrated and maintained in or out of the Cassandra
> tree.
> This would satisfy the needs that many of us (Both Ed and I, for example) to
> have a much greater degree of control over server side execution, and to be
> able to start building much more interestingly (and simply) tiered
> applications.
