Re: TechCrunch article on Twitter and Cassandra

Glad to hear it; and I'm thrilled to see innovation occurring in this space. But one consulting company that's been in business for a couple of months now wouldn't help me with tier 1 deployments. I'm looking forward to having an ecosystem around Cassandra - I think that Cassandra, and other

Re: TechCrunch article on Twitter and Cassandra

t is ardently discussing @http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1502756 Here are my comments: 1. Cassandra is very young! Especially, the design and implementation of local storage and local indexing are junior and not good. 2. Pool read-performance is also due to the poor local storage implementatio

Idunno, I think understanding those companies' decisions is extremely relevant for anybody working with cassandra. I really like this thread and hope it keeps going. On Jul 10, 2010 3:38 PM, "Sumit Datta" wrote: Hello, I have been a silent spectator in this list for a long while, and while I lik

Hello, I have been a silent spectator in this list for a long while, and while I like reading much mail traffic, this one I thought I should reply to. You know what I see in all this? More "Twitter" and "Facebook" than "Cassandra". Are we here to discuss them or the software? What I do not see are

Re: TechCrunch article on Twitter and Cassandra

Re: TechCrunch article on Twitter and Cassandra

It almost seems counter-intuitive. For analytics, you'd think they'd want a database that supports more sophisticated query functionality (sql). Whereas for everyday tweet storage, something fast and high-throughput (cassandra) makes sense. I'd be curious to here the details as well. On Sat, Jul
