For one, Cassandra's read/write throughput scales linearly as you add nodes. I would agree that your use case is narrow, and as such MySQL works. But that doesn't mean it's ideal, and if your use case changes is objectively worse. Most importantly you made a claim: "MySQL is a Better NoSQL". Where's the data for your claim? You found a niche use-case where using MySQL as a KV store works but then claimed it's better. If I see a nail, and you tell me whacking it with a crowbar is better than a hammer, you need to show me why. All you gave me was a schematic on how to use a crowbar as a hammer.
