Thanks Torsten. Jonathan's blog on Fact Vs Fiction says that
Fact: It has always been straightforward to send the output of Hadoop jobs to Cassandra, and Facebook, Digg, and others have been using Hadoop like this as a Cassandra bulk-loader for over a year. Does anyone from Facebook or Digg share details on how to use Cassandra BulkLoader? I could see some details from Arin's presentation on Cassandra @ Digg about data load from MySQL -> Hadoop -> Cassandra. Can someone please help me?
