Cassandra is out of incubation and I am no longer on the PMC ...but this a little concerning.
I know this discussion is all about good internal design but - for the sake of the community - isn't there a way this fork could be avoided? I don't have the feeling this is about the work involved implementing it - but rather the lack of direction or consensus how to implement it. Maybe this fork could be prevented if committers could give the guidance? Or what am I missing here? This fork would be bad for the Cassandra community. We already have the fact that Facebook is running it's own version. This isn't getting any better like this. cheers, Torsten
