Hi Tommy, Thank you for spotting this and bringing this to community's attention.
I believe our primary interfaces are native and internode protocol, and CLI tools. Most interfaces are used to to abstract implementations internally. Few interfaces, such as DataType, Partitioner, and Triggers can be depended upon by external tools using Cassandra as a library. There is no official way to plug in a QueryHandler, so I did not consider it to be a part of our public API. >From [1]: > These considerations are especially important for public APIs, including CQL, > virtual tables, JMX, yaml, system properties, etc. Any planned additions must > be carefully considered in the context of any existing APIs.

Maybe we should have an exhaustive list of public APIs, and explicitly mention that native and internode protocols are included, alongside with nodetool command API and output, but also which classes/interfaces specifically should be evolved with care.
