Hi all, I started looking at Cassandra awhile ago and got used to the Thrift API. I put it on the back burner for awhile though until now. To get back up to speed I have read a lot of documentation at the DataStax website, and it appears that the Thrift API is no longer considered the ideal way to interface with Cassandra.
So my questions are these: What is the future of the Thrift API, should I just ignore it going forward and use CQL? If CQL is the preferred way to interface with Cassandra, does using any of the clients listed here: http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/ClientOptionsprovide me any benefits over using a JDBC like the one listed here http://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/p/cassandra-jdbc/ Thanks, Matt
