Hi Jeremy, > Why are you using Cassandra versus using data stored in HDFS or HBase? - I'm thinking of using it for realtime streaming of user data. While streaming the requests, I'm also using Lucandra for indexing the data in realtime. It's a better option when you compare it with HBase or the native HDFS flat files, because of low latency in writes.

My answer to this would be: - The current integration only supports the whole range of the CF to be input for the map phase, it would be way much better if the InputFormat had means of support for a KeyRange.
