Hello,
do you see any value in having a web service over cassandra, with actual
client-clients talking to it via https/ssl?
This way the cluster can be firewalled and therefore protected, plus you
get decent auth/auth right there.

I have been trying to figure out how to secure/encrypt the traffic
between the client (Hector) and the Cassandra Server. I looked at this
link https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-106 But since thrift
sits on a layer after Hector, i am wondering how i can get Hector to
use the right Thrift calls to have the encryption happen? Also where
can i get the instructions for the any required setup for encrypting
the traffic between the Hector client and the Cassandra Server?
Would appreciate any help in this regard. Below are the setup versions
Cassandra Version - 0.8.7
Hector - 0.8.0-2
libthrift jar - 0.6.1
On a side note, we have setup internode encryption on the Cassandra
server side and found the documentation for that easily.
