Any alternative to Thrift

[Sameer Charles <sa...@towards.ch>]

Hi all,

Is Thrift the only way to talk to Cassandra? what if I embed Cassandra  
within my app (single JVM), can I use some native
Cassandra API to communicate?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Sameer Charles

Great! Yes I am trying to embed Cassandra, this application will be  
distributed on each node in a cluster together with Cassandra.
I will do some tests on Thrift vs. StorageProxy, if there is not much  
difference in performance then I might stick with Thrift.

Thanks for your help.

If you're embedding it as part of a distributed cluster, use the
static methods in StorageProxy.  If the local jvm is the only node,
you can skip the messaging layer and use Table objects directly (see
TableTest.java for examples of using RowMutation / getColumnFamily).
