-----------------------------------------
I wasn't sure if best to start this discussion here in the issue tracker or on
the mailing list.
> Migrate https://github.com/jeffwidman/cqlsh to be part of Cassandra core
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-18654
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-18654
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Jeff Widman
> Priority: Normal
>
> Myself and [~bschoeni] currently maintain https://github.com/jeffwidman/cqlsh
> which repackages the CQLSH from Cassandra it into a standalone Python
> package that is published to https://pypi.org/project/cqlsh/ for
> lighter-weight installs.
> Given that our project is simply a build/packaging project, we wanted start a
> conversation about upstreaming this into core Cassandra.
> We don't have any differences from the CQLSH source that's in cassandra,
> instead we point all contributors to contribute back to the Cassandra
> project. In fact we've made multiple contributions back to `cqlsh` ourselves
> and have drastically cleaned up the code:
> https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aapache%2Fcassandra%20is%3Apr%20author%3Ajeffwidman%20author%3Abschoening&type=pullrequests
> Our goal:
> When a Cassandra release happens, the build/release process automatically
> publishes cqlsh to https://pypi.org/project/cqlsh/
> We realize the Cassandra team isn't python/PyPI experts, so we'd be more than
> happy to help wire this up and maintain it.
> Our one hesitation around this discussion is that we're a little concerned
> that we might lose the nimbleness we've currently got from having a separate
> project. Ie, if something is screwed up on PyPI / the build process, we can
> quickly get it fixed and get a new release out so that users aren't blocked.
> Would it be possible as part of this process to continue that myself/Brad had
> commit rights to the build process for PyPI? To be clear, we aren't asking
> for commit rights to the Java code or anything outside of Python, we just
> want to be sure that if we go to the trouble of working with you to upstream
> this that there's a commitment from Cassandra to keeping this build working,
> or to letting us be able to fix the build. Otherwise there's no point in
> upstreaming it only for it to go unmaintained and us look on helplessly from
> the sidelines. We're very flexible here on the solution.
> Thoughts?
