Hi all,
I'm happy to announce a new release of cassandra-sharp (version 2.0-alpha), a .NET client for Cassandra - all bits are available at http://code.google.com/p/cassandra-sharp/. This version is quite special because only the CQL Binary Protocol interface is supported ! Yes, Thrift is dead for real ! Obviously, Cassandra 1.2 is the only supported version at the moment. All commands are supported but REGISTER/EVENT/Compression - this will come in a future release. Some features from 1.0 are not supported (retry, topology discovery) but they will come back for sure later. This version also support only basic POCO mapping - but since this is extensible, you can bring your own if you want (contribution welcomed btw). Documentation is totally out of sync, all my apologies - samples in the projects should explain how the new interface works. I'm confident there are some bugs hanging around, so feel free to fill issues/improvements at http://code.google.com/p/cassandra-sharp/issues/list. Hope you will enjoy it ! - Pierre Chalamet
