[RELEASE] Apache Cassandra 0.8.0 beta1
I am pleased to announce the release of Apache Cassandra 0.8.0 beta1.
The 0.8 series is shaping up nicely and is packed with Awesome.
For example, wouldn't it be great if you could perform major upgrades
without bringing the entire cluster to a complete stop? Well, starting
with 0.8, backward compatible messaging means that rolling upgrades are
now possible. Oh, and by "starting with 0.8" I mean, you'll be able to
perform rolling upgrades from your 0.7 clusters.
Ever wanted counters? Of course you have!
How about encryption of inter-node data? Hell yes.
Is it getting Real enough for you? No? Would you like a couple more
rhetorical questions? Yes?
How would you feel about a query language? Good, because now Cassandra
is not only NoSQL, it's MoSQL. 0.8 is the debut of CQL (Cassandra Query
Language), an SQL-alike query language. We already have language
drivers for Java (JDBC), Twisted (txcql), Python (DBAPI2), and
Node.js[6], and more are on the way!
See the change log[1] and release notes[2] for a comprehensive list of
what's new.
One last thing. Also new for 0.8 are some changes to our release
process. We've committed to maintaining compatibility between this beta
and any subsequent beta or release candidates, and we're aiming for a
final release in the second week of May (~3 weeks). This should make
this phase easier and less drawn out for everyone, so please,
download[4] the new beta and report any problems you find.
Thanks!

Thanks Jonathan,
Should I repackage myself or do you think updated Debian packages will
be made available shortly ?

I rebuilt and redeployed the packages locally, apart from the necessary
modification to /etc/cassandra/cassandra-env.sh (which is fixed in
trunk) the packages now work properly.

Hi,
First of all thanks for this release, here are a few annoyances I
spotted while trying it out the published debian packages:
The cassandra-env.sh is ran by /bin/sh and uses constructs not available
in plain sh. this is fixed in 76fa3204 by Jonathan Ellis
Starting the daemon provided in the Debian package will constantly fail
due to thrift exception classes not being found. This stems from the
fact that the generated thrift classes are not included in the jar
available in the Debian package, comparing the 0.7.3 package and the
0.8.0-beta1 reveals the following difference:
On 0.7.3:
#unzip -l /usr/share/cassandra/apache-cassandra.jar | grep
InvalidRequestException.class
1426 2011-03-11 18:23
org/apache/cassandra/avro/InvalidRequestException.class
8752 2011-03-11 18:23
org/apache/cassandra/thrift/InvalidRequestException.class
On 0.8.0-beta1:
# unzip -l /usr/share/cassandra/apache-cassandra.jar | grep
InvalidRequestException.class
I hope this helps.

I will be calling the release vote on dev when I get a chance.
In the meantime, the staged artifacts are at

beta versions will be available from releases repo.
You can help validate the poms when I call the release vote.

Because i'm still validating that I have the poms minimized for the
multiple artifacts (or did you want 20million unneeded deps for the
client jars?)

*Truly Awesome!*
CQL rocks in so many ways.
Is 0.8.0-beta1 available in apache's maven repository?
And if not, why not?

Re: 0.8.0 thrift api?
Posted by Kirk Peterson <ne...@gmail.com>.
The best documentation (imo) for the Thrift API, is the cassandra.thrift
file in the 'interface' subdirectory of the releas. Because cassandra.thrift
is used to generate client bindings, it is always up to date, and usually
well commented. The wiki lags behind, but sometimes will have more details
on a specific topic.

I have been using:
https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-0.8/interface/cassandra.thrift
And yes both the CQL and the counter API are accessible via Thrift.
