[jira] Commented: (CASSANDRA-1311) Support (asynchronous) triggers

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1311?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12995333#comment-12995333 ] 

T Jake Luciani commented on CASSANDRA-1311:
-------------------------------------------

"enforce trigger consistency via the commitlog the way 2ary indexes currently do"

I agree we should mirror the 2ary index impl, which means it becomes a synchronous operation. Frankly I think that's ok since it's the only way to know the client will know the data was written AND the trigger was executed.  If a user wants asynchronous behavior, then the trigger implementation can simply schedule a action in a local queue.

> Asynchronous triggers is a basic mechanism to implement various use cases of asynchronous execution of application code at database side. For example to support indexes and materialized views, online analytics, push-based data propagation.
