"orthogonal" means "90 degrees". Two lines are orthogonal if the cross at 90 degrees.
Two ideas are orthogonal means that they are not compatible. Transactions is orthogonal with Cassandra's design means that it will require a lot of work and trade-off to implement transactions into Cassandra. Is it more clear ?
