    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-1311?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12808694#comment-12808694 ] 

Steven Hawkins commented on TEIID-1311:
---------------------------------------

Merged to master based upon Radek's initial pull request.  Make the kitting fairly consistent with the other modules, but did use a modified approach to creating the com.datastax.cassandra module by allowing maven to build the module dependencies rather than checking them explicitly.  It seemed easier to use the transitive dependencies, but it probably makes sense to just refine to a set of top level dependencies with lots of exclusions since we have to know the versions explicitly in the module.xml.

Pulled netty out as a common dependency with the remote socket transport option - and updated the version to io.netty 3.6.2 (a slight downgrade for cassandra which was using 3.6.3).  Will need to eventually get the jackson/guava dependencies consolidated if possible.  Also updated the dependencies.txt file to spell out what jars go with what functionality.

Made only minor changes to the cassandra code to remove unused imports, update a couple of message strings, and to adapt to the bundle kitting (which was reopened to address the embedded kit).

Tested metadata load and basic querying without an issue.

Still need to update the reference/admin guides.

> Apache Cassandra is starting to see uptake beyond the big name social network players. Has any thought been given to offering connectivity to Cassandra through Teiid? Perhaps this is through consuming the Thrift file as metadata source.
