I disagree here. First, in order to achieve strong consistency in a distributed system with replication enabled, you will always have to write to multiple replicas: provided the number of replicas is the same, whether you're using a consi

And talking about consistency, as already pointed out by Jonathan, Cassandra actually provides a way to allow for strong consistency: also, with its tunable consistency levels, it provides greater freedom to implement different access patte

We already have an HBase cluster in-house we use together with Hadoop for social analytics. By the way, we ruled it out as our operational experience with it was a little bit of a pain, in particular around version updates. Talking about Dy

Agreed, we had a pleasant operational experience, except for some not-so-well documented details around auto-bootstrapping and host names, as briefly mentioned in the blog post. But cluster elasticity and resiliency has been working really

Exactly: clustering and storage are more and more "commodity" features, as I see it. The most important thing is going to be what you build upon them, the real value you provide to the user: is data partitioned or replicated? What data ma

Clustering and storage are completely based on Terracotta, and this is great: relying on a rock solid technology gives you the freedom to focus on more advanced features, such as communication, partitioning, data manipulation and querying.

Call it "marketing" ;) Joking aside, the article you mentioned is linked on the home page for that exact reason: put things in the correct context.

Terrastore already implements lightweight "stored procedures" in terms of server side updates: functions which atomically update a value based on some custom logic. Future versions will provide map/reduce functions as well, probably in both
