Re: Why does CockroachDB github website say Cassandra has no Availability on datacenter failure?

I think folks might agree that it's not worth the time to worry about what they say. The ASF isn't a commercial entity, so we don't worry about market share or anything. Sure, it's not cool for folks to say misleading or downright false statements about Cassandra, but we can't police the internet

Seriously that was over the line. You may very well feel that the posts are unnecessary and I am sure there are folks who would agree with you, but let's not get nasty about it. On Tue, Feb 7, 2017 at 7:48 AM Benjamin Lerer wrote: > If you do not like it, feel free to leave the mailing list :

Where do I find EverywhereStrategy?

2016-11-30 Thread James Carman
I came across the class name "org.apache.cassandra.locator.EverywhereStrategy" in an error message, so I started searching through the code for it. I can't seem to find it. Any pointers? Thanks, James

While all of these things are true, it's irrelevant. The ASF has a clear policy on this (the "it didn't happen" policy). Discussions and decisions about the project must be done on the mailing lists. You may disagree with the policy (as many have before you) and feel free to take it up with the

So why not just donate the Java driver and keep that in house? Cassandra is a Java project. Makes sense to me. On Sat, Jun 4, 2016 at 10:58 AM Jonathan Ellis wrote: > On Sat, Jun 4, 2016 at 8:59 AM, Chris Mattmann > wrote: > > > Thanks Jonathan. I’m starting to get a clearer idea of what’s > >
