There was a problem hiding this comment.
we should probably also mention all possible extension points Cassandra offers in the fashion of implementing an appropriate interface (ICompressor, IAuthenticator, ISeedProvider ...). Also all SPIs. Basically, anything an operator puts on class path and Cassandra picks it up one way or another is trusted too. We do not have control over third party implementations.
Given that these implementations might in theory contain any Java code, basically, they can hook into Cassandra's internals freely and call whatever they want.
