Lucandra = Lucene + Cassandra
- megaduck 17y agoThis is an awesome idea. Our application (launching soon!) leverages search heavily, so the DB is almost always just acting as an inverted index. I would love to be able to just query lucene and get a data object in return. If we could ditch our ORM layer entirely, that would be a giant win for both performance and simplicity. I hope this project meets its goals. The world needs a tool like this.
- simonw 17y agoHave you evaluated Solr?
- megaduck 17y agoWe're using Solr as our index, actually. It's fantastic. However, Solr isn't really built to be a datastore. It's far more effective to have Solr return an OID, and then grab your data out of a database, KVS, or whatever. So, we're currently querying solr, getting the results, and then querying the database. The advantage of Lucandra would be that we could consolidate that into a single step.
