Eric's benchmark results was that "normal" queries were slightly slower but prepared one (and in real life, I see no good reason not to prepare statements) were actually slightly faster. > CQL 3 requires a schema, however altering the schema is easier.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but I'd be curious (like seriously, I'm not trolling) to understand what you mean by "CQL 3 requires a schema" but "Thrift API is still schema less". Basically I'm not sure I always understand what people mean by "schema less" exactly and I'm curious. -- Sylvain
