I'm currently writing collected data continuously to Cassandra, having keys
starting with a timestamp and a unique identifier (like
2009.01.01.00.00.00.RANDOM) for being able to query in time ranges.

I'm thinking of running periodical mapreduce jobs which will go through a
designated time period. I might want to analyze the data only between
2009.01 and 2009.02.
I had done this previously with HBase however I thought cassandra would be a
better choice for continuously storing data in a safe manner.

I guess this briefly explains my designated use case.

Best Regards,
Utku
