Hey Nate, I'd like to add CASSANDRA-11559 (Enhance node representation) to the list, including the comment I made on the ticket (different storage ports for each node). For us, it's a great "would really like to have" as our group will probably need this in production within the next 1 year or less. However since it hasn't gotten much attention, I'm not sure if we should add it to the list of "must haves" for 4.0. I'm planning on bringing it up internally today, as well.
Also, from the previous 4.0 email thread that Jonathan started back in July ( https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/cassandra-dev/201607.mbox/%3CCALdd-zhW3qJ%3DOWida9nMXPj0JOsru7guOYh6-7uTjqEBvacrgQ%40mail.gmail.com%3E ) - CASSANDRA-11115 (thrift removal) - ticket not mentioned explicitly in the email, but the notion of removing thrift was - CASSANDRA-10857 (Allow dropping COMPACT STORAGE flag) Thanks, -Jason On Thu, Nov 3, 2016 at 8:43 PM, sankalp kohli <kohlisank...@gmail.com> wrote: > List looks really good.
