May be wrong but as far as I know thrift is still the official API, for now. CQL is in it's first release and still has a few things to be added to it https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2472 . That said, jump in and try it out :)
The best documentation I can point you to is https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-0.8.0/doc/cql/CQL.textile There are Java, Python and Twisted Python drivers in the source tree under the drivers/ directory. Hope that helps. ----------------- Aaron Morton Freelance Cassandra Developer @aaronmorton http://www.thelastpickle.com On 5 Jun 2011, at 04:16, Yonder wrote: > Hi, > > In Cassandra 0.8, CQL become the primary client interface, but I don't know > how to use it in a non-command line env.
