I've been looking at the Java and Python drivers and they are both using Thrift. I thought the idea was to get rid of thrift/avro? The two implemented (however partial) drivers seem to have similar naming conventions for class and methods. Has it been agreed to try and do this? I reckon it'd be

Possibly, I think doing a gsoc would leave a few dead projects and in the end someone would decide to pick up one or two of them and possibly take development in a diff. direction than was intended. Much like the multitude of clients that start, die and get re-born. ---

I wonder if drivers for various languages could be google summer of code projects. On the one hand it's a nice intro to cassandra and a discrete thing to do. However, would that leave it maintainerless once gsoc was done...? On Mar 20, 2011, at 11:42 AM, Tyler Hobbs wrote: > YesQL is the only

YesQL is the only one that's made me laugh out loud so far. I'm a fan of that if we want to keep it light-hearted. I think CassQL and Castle are both reasonable. 'seepless' has a great idea behind it, but it sounds a lot like like 'sleepless'. On Sun, Mar 20, 2011 at 11:06 AM, Jake Luciani wro

I like Castle - sounds cool, though it mixes metaphors. Greek mythology and medieval Europe... Still I think it's a cool name. On Mar 20, 2011, at 7:44 AM, Andy Grundman wrote: > Cassandra Interface Language == CassIL == "Castle" ? > > On Mar 20, 2011, at 8:35 AM, Andy Twigg wrote: > >> SQL

Conservatively and true to the initial name: CassQL => Cassandra Query Language A bit more left-field: CQ => Cassandra Query CL => Cassandra Language I'm partial to CQ myself, as it: * Suggests a verb - "seek". * Has geeky secondary [but highly relevant] meaning: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

Everybody is right. The CQL<->SQL naming ambiguity is a problem. We need to do something about this before it gets out of hand. I've been thinking about alternatives all weekend. Here's one thing I came up with that I think will do nicely. Using our thrift API (the *old* way of doing things) h

There was some opposition to the name CQL due to name conflicts. May I suggest "Cassquel"? I think it has a nice sound. On Fri, Mar 18, 2011 at 9:54 PM, Eric Evans wrote: > > With 3 weeks and change until the branch-and-feature-freeze, I thought > I'd take a few moments to update everyone on th
