["Stu Hood (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Stu Hood updated CASSANDRA-1320:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: 0001-Avro-and-Thrift-interface-changes.patch
                0002-Convert-AccessLevel-to-Set-Permission.patch
                0003-Use-Permission-checks-rather-than-AccessLevel-checks.patch

Applies on top of CASSANDRA-1237, and converts AccessLevel to Set<Permission>.

We'd like to get this change into 0.7-beta, since it changes the disk format for KSMetaData.

> Level based permissions are very limiting, and are likely to become restrictive. The original reasoning behind using levels seems to be that Thrift didn't allow an easy way to specify bitset permissions, but a Set<Enums> works equally well.
