Re: Standardizing Timestamps Across Clients
On Thu, Mar 18, 2010 at 3:20 PM, Michael Malone mjmal...@gmail.com wrote: A standard default would be nice, but while we're making recommendations I'd also suggest that client libs should make this parameter easy to override. Client apps can do lots of interesting things by setting timestamps explicitly. You can get a sort of quasi-transaction by using the same timestamp for a set of operations, for example. FWIW, telephus has always allowed this by overriding the timestamp kwarg on any request. -Brandon
Re: GSOC - Cassandra
Hi Eric, Thanks for that quick reply, I do have experience in coding in java. I started studying about Thrift and Avro interface.Ill come up with any question for which is unclear. Thanks.

Im interested in participating the GSOC program for Apache-Cassandra. I went through the wiki page at http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/GoogleSoc2010 and found some ideas for GSOC 2010. Excellent. I would like to know about the idea : *Finish creating an Avro interface alongside Thrift* Please give me some details on this idea on where to begin and what are the skills i need. You'll need to be able to code in Java (Cassandra is written in Java after all). Additionally, I think you'd need a firm understanding of the Thrift interface and how data is modeled in Cassandra (basically all the stuff you'd need to know to write applications against it). -- Eric Evans eev...@rackspace.com -- Kishanthan.T
