What would be the best client option to go with in order to use Cassandra through an application to be implemented in PHP.
It seems that PHP developers have a high barrier of entry to Cassandra's world because of the unavailability of relatively mature, developed and well proven client options (like Hector for Java developers) that fits the requirements & provide features for production environments. In this case what would be the best option to go with in order to use Cassandra for production ? Implementing in some different language like java ? or using thrift library? I know most of the Cassandra implementations are Java based, so is that way be preferable ? It's not very easy to go with Java based application for small companies with less manpower. I am unable to make an easy decision. Please help me out to make a more performance-centered decision for the application. Thanks. Ertio Lew P.S. In any case, if you suggest a client option please list any major implementations of that.
