First let me premise, I am new to Cassandra. I just got it installed
and was able to add data, connect to Cassandra via Thrift and retrieve
the data. Since, Thrift uses RPC, I was wondering if Cassandra uses
Thrift on the server side to handle the requests from the clients? I
know Thrift is used on the client side, but what about the server side?
If this is true; is there a reason for it? Was a REST API with a JSON
payload tried? Are there any plans to create a REST API for Cassandra?
Thanks,
Peter
