The fact that DataStax, the company behind Cassandra (the main db where Titan runs), analyzed Titan and said "Hey, this software is crap. Let's put it in the trashcan and redo it from scratch with the support of our team" means something, right? I can't understand people that appreciate Titan: it's just a library on top of a DBMS that is not even Graph. It's definitely not a Graph Database. People love buzzwords, but who is using it in production? I mean, real production? If you wanna do just Graph Processing you have plenty of choices like Spark+GraphX, Giraph, etc.

If people are using Cassandra already why not just use Titan? If it's built on top of something you're already maintaining why not. It make sense. GraphX last I check was in beta, at least last databrick meetup stated so. GraphX would make sense if you're stack is cassandra + spark. For me personally, I have time to wait to see if Flink will mature and interop with Cassandra before I invest my time in Spark or Flink (or both if I have the luxury).
