What's the point of the deviation of java code style in Cassandra?
Hello, Cassandra Developers! What's the point of the deviation ("important exception") from the Sun's Java coding convention in Cassandra's java code Style: "{ and } are always placed on a new line" Why is that?? thanks.

i guess you mean it's not a constructive question. it would be, it there wasn't a standard: Sun's Java coding convention, which already says how to place curly braces correctly. why deviate from the de facto standard for no reason? thanks.

Thift vs. CQL
Hello! Datastax's Cassandra documentation says that CQL API is the future of Cassandra API. It's also says that eventually Thift API will be removed completely. Is it true? Do you have any plans of removing Thift API, leaving CQL API only?? thanks.
Re: What's the point of the deviation of java code style in Cassandra?
yeah, i guess that's the main reason. another one is that root developers probably have c++ background. curly braces on the new line, short and ugly classnames - are the signs of c++ developer in java universe. and since cassandra uses thrift, which is c++ related, it's not a surprise. but i guess it's not that important, though i would explore cassandra's code with more joy, if it was written in a proper code style :) On 1/28/2012 12:11 AM, Eric Evans wrote: On Fri, Jan 27, 2012 at 5:36 AM, bxqdev wrote: Hello, Cassandra Developers!

That is how it came from Facebook. Doing it differently afterward would just make things inconsistent (which is worse), and reformatting the entire codebase is disruptive on a number of fronts.
