I don't think the below statement accurately describes data mining or using Cassandra for data mining. All the techniques I am familiar with for either data mining or machine learning, which data mining is a subset, make one or more sequential scans through the data to abstract statistics or build models. The question is how well does Cassandra perform with sequential scans through the data? The Hadoop model works very well for many machine learning problems because it is oriented toward sequential scans through the data. The speed of the Hadoop interface to Cassandra would have a lot of bearing on the application of Cassandra to data mining or machine learning problems.
