Re: [DISCUSS] CEP-8 Drivers Donation

2020-07-27 Thread Dinesh Joshi
Alexandre,

I gave the document a quick read and TL;DR seems to be that we'd like to:

1. Bring in all drivers
2. They're part of the C* project

If so, I would prefer if we add the Java driver first to the project. Based on 
that experience we can move forward with other drivers. However, I am open to 
the idea of adding all the drivers to the project.

Please correct me if I misunderstood something.

Thanks,

Dinesh

[DISCUSSION] Workshop idea

2020-07-27 Thread Ekaterina Dimitrova
Hello everyone, 
I hope everyone is doing well in these weird pandemic times. 

I am super excited to see people already testing 4.0 Beta and coming back with 
feedback. To me the user experience is one of the most important factors for a 
successful release.
While talking about ApacheCon™ last week, an idea was born. How does the 
community feel about having a workshop on Cassandra 4.0 in August?
Why do I find this idea great?
1) Let’s keep the momentum going and try to get the attention of even more 
users to start testing.
2) ApacheCon™ is only at the end of September, so we can also use the 
opportunity to heat up before the conference.
There is no plan or anything at this point. Just an idea was born and I am 
excited to share it with all of you and get some feedback/suggestions/criticism.
How does the rest of you feel about it?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Ekaterina

Re: [DISCUSSION] Workshop idea

2020-07-27 Thread Nate McCall
This is a really interesting idea, particularly given that at this point in
our release cycle previously, there would be demos/roadshows happening at
meetups etc. that we just cant do these days in most places now.

What is your thinking on format?

+1 in general though - that goes for anybody that wants to do something
like this.

Re: [DISCUSS] CEP-8 Drivers Donation

2020-07-27 Thread Sumanth Pasupuleti
This is great! +1 to the phased approach mentioned in the document of
starting with the Java driver, and then including the learnings if any into
the rest of the drivers' donation.
Also excited about the documentation donation - it will be nice to not have
to depend on the mentioned proprietary tool, but I guess we will have to
weigh that against the current void in Apache C* documentation and as long
as there is a good path forward by at least identifying a replacement tool
(if not migrating), it should fine I suppose.

Thanks,
Sumanth
