Cassandra is way underrated. It is a great advance in DBRMS, just not relational. I've put it to great use and it's an amazing database system. Searching is badly needed, regular expression searching by column values would make it kick Oracle`s ass anytime.

- whackberry 15y agoUsed that. Not Cassandra, but a very nice application of it.
- fizx 15y agoUnfortunately it benchmarks 20-40x slower than stock Solr. If that wasn't the case, I'd use it in a heartbeat.
- swah 15y agoFor an outsider, its hard to understand whats up w/ Cassandra versus HBase. Then you read companies X, Y and Z are moving to HBase, and it almost feels like the project is "just not any good anymore". EDIT: I think the fallacy of my reasoning is thinking of Apache as a company which wouldn't spend resources on two similar things.
- stonemetal 15y agoFrom what I understand HBase is a little more feature complete. It has row locking built in for instance. Cassandra really can't do that by the very nature of how it is designed(fully peer to peer, no zookeeper). On the other hand Cassandra is really easy to get going, just download a build and double click. Hbase requires zookeeper and hadoop\hdfs before you can get it running as such it is more complicated and the config is a bit more squirrelly. It really is MySQL vs Postgresql all over again.
