What would be the pros of breaking it for 0.7 now ? I suppose you have something specific in mind that would break compatibility ? On Thu, Jul 22, 2010 at 8:19 PM, Gary Dusbabek wrote: > I think this depends on how much value users place in rolling upgrades > (it's going to vary). > > My opinion

I think this depends on how much value users place in rolling upgrades (it's going to vary). My opinion is that we should be allowed to break it between major versions if required. Gary. On Thu, Jul 22, 2010 at 11:49, Jonathan Ellis wrote: > How useful is this to insist on, given that 0.7 thrif

I feel like the next time we break network compatibility should be the last time, aka, the release when we introduce a backwards compatible RPC layer (Avro?), and implement support for dropping messages that a node can't handle. So I think we should probably try to preserve compatibility in 0.7.

As long as network compatibility is in place, it is possible to incrementally upgrade a cluster by restricting thrift clients to only talk to the 0.6 nodes until half the cluster is upgraded and then modify them to talk to the 0.7 nodes. If networking compatibility breaks, there is no way to avoid

How useful is this to insist on, given that 0.7 thrift api is fairly incompatible with 0.6's? (timestamp -> Clock change being the biggest problem there) -- Jonathan Ellis Project Chair, Apache Cassandra co-founder of Riptano, the source for professional Cassandra support http://riptano.com

Hi Suguru, Congratulations for your web console, it's definitively the best graphic Cassandra console I've found so far. The problem is that we are using last Cassandra version, 0.6.3, and the console is not showing the data, even it's detecting the keyspaces. Is there any way we could have it w

Hi, Which classes in Cassandra are used to store data? Where can I find info on how Cassandra persists data? Is there a way to periodically take a snapshot of the persisted data without using the thrift client API? Does Cassandra persist data in a file on in memory? thanks in advance, BoriS
