Hey folks, I was looking through our open JIRAs and realized we hadn't merged in server side describe calls yet. The ticket died off a ways ago, and I pinged Chris about it yesterday. He's got a lot of his plate and won't be able to work on it anytime soon. I still think we should include this in 4.0.
>From a technical standpoint, It doesn't say much on the ticket after Robert tossed an alternative patch out there. I don't mind reviewing and merging either of them, it sounded like both are pretty close to done and I think from the perspective of updating drivers for 4.0 this will save quite a bit of time since driver maintainers won't have to add new CQL generation for the various new options that have recently appeared. Questions: * Does anyone have an objection to getting this into 4.0? The patches aren't too huge, I think they're low risk, and also fairly high reward. * I don't have an opinion (yet) on Robert's patch vs Chris's, with regard to which is preferable. * Since soon after Robert put up his PR he hasn't been around, at least as far as I've seen. How have we dealt with abandoned patches before? If we're going to add this in the patch will need some cleanup. Is it reasonable to continue someone else's work when they've disappeared? Jon
