Whaa?? Fine for what?
I agree with the OP. I used cassandra at a startup for a year, about a year ago, and haven't used it since last April. I'm sure things have progressed some (and we were using SuperColumns which a new user today might not) but the idea that it's a black box you don't need to understand? Not at the load we were putting it under.
- taligent 14y agoCassandra by itself is definitely complex. But if you're a Java developer then PlayORM/Astyanax abstracts away almost all of the complexity and allow you to focus on your data model and not worry about the columns. Likewise for the preferences the defaults make sense and are pretty straightforward to change if you do need.
