Greetings, I'm interested in having cassandra client installed separately. I thought that java classes in cassandra-all.jar are those needed by cassandra server. Also that the cassandra-clientutil.jar would hold all the necessary classes to run nodetool and all other sstabletools. My asumptions were wrong so I wonder, what is the meaning of classes to jars distribution here in the latest 3.9 release. Wouldn't it be more convenient to distributed the classes to jars like this? cassandra-common : classes needed by both server and client-utilities (and stress) cassandra-server : classes needed by server only cassnadra-client : classes needed by client only I know there are two extra jars in the latest 3.9 release (thrift, stress). I also know that the thrift support is going to be dropped in future versions so I realy don't care about casses in thrift.jar. And the stress tools once again I guess this jar should contain only those extra classes needed by stress tools. Thaks for your replies. Tomas
