The bigger areas I see are:
So just to follow up, this event happened as planned. I intended to send this out yesterday, but it went it so well that by the time I got back from Austin I was just too tired. :) There were a total of 8 people who showed up at Cowork yesterday: * Brandon Williams (Riptano) * David Strauss (Four Kitchens?) * Eric Evans (Rackspace) * Gary Dusbabek (Rackspace) * Jeremy Hanna (Rackspace) * Nick Bailey (Rackspace) * Nirmal Ranganathan (Rackspace) * Stu Hood (Rackspace) We got an awful lot done IMO: * upgraded to avro 1.4.0 release candidate * multiget_count() rpc implementation * describe_splits() rpc implementation * describe_ring() rpc implementation * check_schema_agreement() rpc implementation * truncate() rpc implementation * login() rpc implementation * get_indexed_slices() rpc implementation * system_drop_keyspace() rpc implementation * system_rename_keyspace() rpc implementation * client state cleanup on deinitializaton (CASSANDRA-1440) * functional test refactoring * greater functional test coverage * some work toward an avro equivalent to py_stress * and more... There are also some changesets that were sent to me that I have not yet had time to merge in, amongst them, a get_range_slices() implementation that once in will mark 100% API coverage. Yes, 100%. :) So what's left now? I plan to start filing tickets for the remaining tasks, but the short answer is that there is still quite a bit left to do. We need comprehensive functional test coverage (there are many holes now), and we need to start evaluating performance. Some client work would also be great to see. Anyway, thanks to everyone that was able to make it yesterday. It was definitely worth it from my perspective and I hope to plan another one Real Soon. :) -- Eric Evans eev...@rackspace.com
