"The whole 'Cassandra to blame' thing is 100% a result of folks clinging on to the NoSQL vs SQL thing. It's a red herring.
"The new version of Digg has a whole new architecture with a bunch of technologies involved. Problem is, over the last few month or so the only technological change we mentioned (blogged about etc) was Cassandra. That made it pretty easy for folks to cling on to it as the 'problem.'
- houseabsolute 16y agoIt may not only be Cassandra, but it would not surprise me to find that the reason the VP was let go was because he oversold some architecture or combination of architectures as a panacea. When everyone else found out that Cassandra + whatever else wasn't going to be the magic bullet after all, someone's head needed to roll.
