Proposal: deprecate Thrift now and remove support in 4.0
Thrift has been officially frozen for almost two years and unofficially for
longer. [1] Meanwhile, maintaining Thrift support through changes like
8099 has been a substantial investment.
I propose deprecating Thrift now and removing support in 4.0, i.e. Nov 2016
if tick-tock goes as planned.
I note that only 7% of our survey respondents [2] are using Thrift-only,
and and those users are often on old releases (1.1 and 1.2), i.e. unlikely
to upgrade to 4.x anyway.
Another 20% of users are using a mix of Thrift and CQL. Some have been
unable to completely migrate because CQL doesn’t quite provide every
feature from Thrift. The last such outstanding issue is mixing static and
dynamic Thrift “columns” in a single table. We have an issue open to
address this [3].
I think it is reasonable to either deprecate Thrift immediately in 3.2 or
to wait until 10857 is committed in 3.4.

I've updated NEWS for 3.2 with a deprecation announcement. I've also sent
an announcement to the users list.
