Re: plugins/triggers/coprocessors

[Jeremy Hanna <je...@gmail.com>]

Just wanted to let people who follow the user list know that if there is interest in something like plugins, triggers, or coprocessors on the server-side with Cassandra, the ticket to follow or get involved with (code, comments, etc) is CASSANDRA-1311:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1311

Another motivation was Ben Black presenting at Strata.  He had mentioned that he and Cliff had worked through doing server side operations which sounded similar (though their effort sounded like it was not generalizable).  I've talked to others in the community that have hoped for a feature like this too.  In any case, since it crossed ticket boundaries, I thought it would be most appropriate to gauge interest as a discussion thread.
