I believe coherence is their name for the TimesTen technology they bought. TT is an in memory SQL database that can run as a cache for Oracle.
Its totally different from Cassandra. On the one hand it supports trad SQL whereas Cassandra does not. On the other hand Cassandra is truly distributed and fault tolerant, whereas TT is not. I suggest getting and reading the Oriely Cassandra book.
