dmchoull / cdeploy Goto Github PK

Hi there,

My team at Rackspace is evaluating a few Cassandra schema management tools and would like to look at yours more in-depth. I have three questions/goals in raising this issue:

1. Are you still maintaining this project?
2. If so, we'd like to submit a PR with some improvements. Specifically, it's our understanding that schema changes need to be targeted to an individual Cassandra node since conflicting changes issued to separate nodes in a cluster may result in unpredictable behavior [0] [1].
3. We may also be interested in making the cdeploy a bit more friendly to use as a library as opposed to a command line utility, although it seems these will be very minor changes the way the code is already structured.

Before we commit to this work we'd like to gather your feedback and ensure you're still willing to maintain the library.

Thanks!

I was writing a new migration in vim, and then ran the migrations, and it broke because of the swapfile.
