> Instead of creating a pluggable interface for Thrift, I'd like to create =
a pluggable interface for arbitrary app-server deep integration.
> Inspired by both the existence of intravert-ug, as well as there being a =
long history of various parties embedding tomcat or jetty servlet engines i=
nside Cassandra, I'd like to propose the creation an internal somewhat stab=
le (versioned?) interface that could allow any app server to achieve deep i=
ntegration with Cassandra, and as a result, these servers could=20
> 1) host their own apis (REST, for example
> 2) extend core functionality by having limited (see triggers and wide row=
 scanners) access to the internals of cassandra
> The hand wavey part comes because while I have been mulling this about fo=
r a while, I have not spent any significant time into looking at the actual=
 surface area of intravert-ug's integration. But, using it as a model, and =
also keeping in minds the general needs of your more traditional servlet/j2=
ee containers, I believe we could come up with a reasonable interface to al=
low any jvm app server to be integrated and maintained in or out of the Cas=
sandra tree.
> This would satisfy the needs that many of us (Both Ed and I, for example)=
 to have a much greater degree of control over server side execution, and t=
o be able to start building much more interestingly (and simply) tiered app=
lications.
