[jira] [Comment Edited] (GORA-98) Support CQL through Gora Hector API usage in Gora

["Marko Asplund (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

------------------------------------------------------------

Being new to Gora, it could be that I'm missing something, but what's the motivation for having a data store driver abstraction layer within a data store abstraction framework? Aren't the Gora API users supposed to be coding against Gora API and not care about which driver is being used under the hood? Datastax Java driver is the de-facto Cassandra driver for Java and it's being actively developed. AFAIK, Astyanax, and Hector in particular are effectively unmaintained.

> CQL queries were an interesting new feature for Apache Cassandra 0.8.0. The initial implementation in Hector deals simply with the single execute_cql_query thrift method and is largely intended as a means to test drive query functionality and behavior, it would be nice to implement this within Gora.
