Yeah, what Andrew says.  We would deprecate current thrift API in 0.21   The new API would exist at same time but under contrib. as distinct software. The new API does not have to support or relate to the old (IMO). If a do-over from scratch makes sense, go for it (IMO). I would suggest modeling the java API if that will work    Good stuff

> This mutateRows, etc.. is a little confusing compared to the new cleaner java client.
> Thinking of ways to make a thrift client that is just as elegant. something like:
> void put(1:Bytes table, 2:TPut put) throws (1:IOError io)
> with:
> struct TColumn {
>   1:Bytes family,
>   2:Bytes qualifier,
>   3:i64 timestamp
> }
> struct TPut {
>   1:Bytes row,
>   2:map<TColumn, Bytes> values
> }
> This creates more verbose rpc  than if the columns in TPut were just map<Bytes, map<Bytes, Bytes>>, but that is harder to fit timestamps into and still be intuitive from say python.
> Presumably the goal of a thrift gateway is to be easy first.
