Cassandra package looking for human power
Hello Fedora developers and maintainers,
Apache Cassandra is a free and open-source distributed NoSQL database written in Java, we
have a package since Fedora 27, I am a maintainer for about a year with a help of Augusto
Caringi, but currently we dont have enought capacity to keep it up-to-date.
State in Fedora:
- older Cassandra version 3.11.1 with backported fix for CVE-2018-8016 from 3.11.2
- generally working, no issues in Bugzilla
- 2 main packages are cassandra(client tools) and cassandra-server(database server)
- removed Thrift interface
We also have docker container[1], software collection[2] and tests[3].
Current goal is to update Cassandra to 3.11.3 version. This is not that easy because of
Thrift API, there are 2 ways:
1. rebase patch which removes Thrift interface, it is not trivial, the patch is quite big
and touch almost everything
2. package missing dependencies for Thrift interface
Nice to have:
- dnf module
- SELinux policy
If you have any questions or you are interested, do not hessitate to contact me.
Thanks.
