I'm currently building a distributed cluster on top of cassandra to perform fast set manipulation via bitmap indexes. This gives me the ability to perform unions, intersections, and set subtraction across sub-queries. Currently I'm storing index information for thousands of dimensions as cassandra rows, and my cluster keeps this information cached, distributed and replicated in order to answer queries.
Every couple of days I think to myself this should really exist in C*. Given all the benifits would there be any interest in reviving CASSANDRA-1472? Some downsides are that this is very memory intensive, even for sparse bitmaps.
