This is right but impact on these libraries isn't significant unless a Thrift API dependency is quickly deprecated. SimpleCassie, Pandra, phpcassa, David's Cassandra module etc. still let you grab a Cassandra Client and call a regenerated cassandra.thfift API directly until the new methods are abstracted in the libraries, if at all. Filling feature gaps in the clients isn't a lot of effort for the authors, that's be beauty of Thrift. .michael.
