Hi, Lets suppose you are using Cassandra happily in production, but you have an army of coders, with varying levels of knowledge about Cassandra.
Currently we have hid most of our developers from the Cassandra dependency by using a Fake interface that returns fake data from it, but this is turning out to be less than ideal. For example, for CouchDB has CouchDBX <http://www.couchone.com/get> which at least on OSX present a very easy to use installer, data browser, and GUI. You just run CouchDBX.app, and then your application can build out the rest of your data as needed for development. So, I guess this is coming down to: 1) Has anyone built any easy to install packages of Cassandra? 2) Can anyone explain their experience with getting non-Cassandra developers up and running in a development environment? What worked? What was hard? Thanks, Paul
