What do you think about set manipulation via indexes in Cassandra? I'm interested in answering queries such as give me all users that performed event 1, 2, and 3, but not 4. If the answer is yes than I can make a case for spending my time on C*. The only downside for us would be our current prototype is in C++ so we would loose some performance and the ability to dedicate an entire machine to caching/performing queries.
