Wonder why they didn't use Cassandra for this use case.

  Last year I was setting up a trial of Cassandra for something, going through the usual swearing of a new tool not quite working as expected (eg by default picking a random port for inter-node communication)... and the next desk over, a non-tech colleague called Cassandra kept hearing me mutter angrily about 'cassandra' and wondered what she'd done. Whoops :)

    Do you sit close to Ezekiel as well? Though having someone sit near me not knowing what I am/we are working on would surprise me. But it does happen especially if there are hotdesks nearby for people from other offices to work on temporarily. I do swear loudly often so probably not a good choice to have those too near me...

  They told you their motivations. Reduce complexity, and take advantage of their MySQL knowledge. Cassandra would fail both of those if they didn't have a lot of MySQL knowledge, since setting it up and maintaining it would increase complexity by introducing a tool they did not know.
